“My audience can immediately tell when something is forced or transactional. The hardest part is often connecting with brands that truly fit my mission and audience values, not just brands that are mass-emailing creators.”

Sound familiar?
You found the brand. You just can’t find a human who will actually read your pitch.
The Instagram DM black hole
You DM the brand’s IG. Nobody reads it. Their account is run by a 22-year-old social manager who posts and ghosts all day.
The generic inbox
[email protected]You email the only address you can find. It goes to an intern, an auto-responder, or nowhere. Your pitch dies in a queue.
The LinkedIn cold shoulder
You find someone who looks right on LinkedIn. You send a connection request. They never check LinkedIn. Crickets.
“
I’ve been busting my butt for two weeks trying to get in touch with these brands and it’s next to impossible. I’ve been working my own contacts, but it’s been crickets.
Why this works
When you love the product, the content gets better.
Audiences can spot forced UGC in a second. The posts that actually move the needle are from creators who already use and love the brand. Pitch the Plug helps you reach the brands you actually care about. So the content is real. So your audience trusts you.
Real talk
How it works
Three steps. About two minutes. You stay in the driver’s seat the whole time.
1
Search the brand
Type in a brand you actually want to work with. We surface the people who own influencer marketing, creator partnerships, and brand sponsorships. Not procurement. Not the retail buyer. The person who can say yes.
2
Get the verified email
One click. Real email, verified, no info@. We also flag if the brand sits under a parent company (Rubbermaid is owned by SC Johnson, Fancy Feast rolls up to Purina then Nestle) so you pitch the right domain.
3
Send your pitch
Your verified contact, ready in your inbox. Pitch the brand you actually want to work with.
The wedge
What Pitch the Plug doesn’t do
Most creator tools try to do everything and do all of it badly. Pitch the Plug isn’t one of them.
We find your plug.
Why we built this
The big brands are waiting for you to reach them.
Shark NinjaNestleNetflixSC JohnsonPurina
Big brands like Shark Ninja, Nestle, and Netflix don’t do mass gifting campaigns. Their influencer marketing teams sit and wait for pitches to come in through agencies and talent managers. So if you’re an Instagram or TikTok creator who actually uses their products and could make killer content for them, you have to reach them yourself. Finding the right person is the hard part. That’s the whole reason Pitch the Plug exists.

Okay just ran it. It took about 5 minutes, but it DID surface some contacts. Holy smokes! I just ran it for a company I’ve been dying to reach and it surfaced three contacts in less than 2 minutes. What is this magical thing?

Questions, answered straight
Public sources like LinkedIn, brand websites, and verified business databases. We don't scrape private data. Want your name removed? Email us and we'll do it same day.
Those try to pick your brands for you with an algorithm. You already know the brands you love better than any algorithm does. Pitch the Plug focuses on the hardest part: finding the right verified contact at the brands you actually want to work with.
Those are built for B2B sales teams, cost way more, and don't understand influencer marketing roles. Pitch the Plug surfaces people titled Influencer Marketing Manager, Director of Creator Partnerships, Head of Social. Built for creators, priced for creators. Apollo, Hunter and the like are databases built on 6-month-old LinkedIn data. Pitch the Plug pulls contacts in real time, so the person you're emailing still works at the brand.
We refund the search. You only get charged for searches that return verified contacts.
No. Nobody can promise that. We can promise you'll be in the right inbox. The rest is your pitch.
No. Never. Your search history is yours.
