Free Media Kit Template for Sponsorships: Every Section a Brand Expects to See

A media kit is usually the first document a brand asks for, before pricing ever comes up. It answers who you are, what you make, and who is actually watching.

Below is a free template covering every section a brand expects to see. No email required to view it, no login to use it, just copy the structure below into your own document.


What a Media Kit Actually Needs to Include

A media kit that gets read has the same handful of sections, in roughly this order.

A one line bio. Who you are and what you make, specific enough to be memorable in a stack of fifty other pitches.
Platform stats. Subscriber or follower count, average views, and engagement rate, listed per platform rather than combined into one vague number.
Audience demographics. Age range, gender split, and top locations, the details that tell a brand whether your audience actually overlaps with theirs.
Content pillars. The two or three topics you actually cover, not a single generic niche label.
Past collaborations. Brands you have worked with, or a note that references are available on request if this is your first one. Never invented.
Contact information. A direct way to reach you, not a contact form that routes through someone else first.
A short testimonial, if you have one. One or two real sentences from a past sponsor carry weight. An empty section here is better than an invented quote.

Turning This Into Something You Can Send

A copied block of text is a starting point, not a finished document. Once it is filled in, drop it into a one page Google Doc or Notion page and export it as a PDF, kept small enough to open instantly as an email attachment. A public, view only link works just as well if you would rather not attach a file at all, pinned in your bio or dropped as the first line of an outreach email.

Keep it to one page. A media kit that runs three pages reads as padding rather than information, and the sections above already cover what a brand actually checks before replying.


No Email, No Login

Plenty of "free" media kit templates sit behind an email gate or a signup form before you ever see the actual layout. This one does not. Everything above is visible and copyable without creating an account, because the template itself is the whole point, not a lead form wearing a template's name. If a site asks for your email before showing you a template, what it is actually selling is your inbox, not the document.


What a Static Template Can't Do

A media kit describes you. It does not price you. Filling in accurate stats and demographics does not tell a brand what a mid-roll integration or a dedicated video should cost, and updating that number by hand every time your channel grows is exactly the kind of manual work most creators skip, right up until a brand lowballs them.

It also will not adjust itself. Every number in the template above is something you type in once and then have to remember to revisit, and a media kit nobody updates quietly turns into a liability instead of an asset, understating a channel that has actually grown since the last edit.

That is a separate problem from what this template solves, and it is worth solving separately. SponsorCraft takes the same kind of stats you just filled in above and runs them through a five factor pricing engine, niche, engagement, tier, geography, and format, then exports the result as a branded PDF rate card. The media kit tells a brand who you are. The rate card tells them what it costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a media kit and a rate card?
A media kit introduces you: who you are, your stats, your audience. A rate card prices a specific deal. Brands typically want both, the media kit to decide if you're a fit, the rate card to negotiate terms.
Do I need a media kit if I only work with brands on one platform?
Yes, a single platform media kit is still worth having. Brands compare it against other creators pitching similar content, and having stats laid out clearly, rather than scattered across a bio or a follow up email, makes that comparison easier to win.
How often should I update it?
Whenever your stats move meaningfully, generally every quarter for an actively growing channel. A media kit with six month old numbers reads as either outdated or, worse, quietly declining.
Can I use this template for Instagram or TikTok, not just YouTube?
Yes, the structure holds across platforms. Adjust the stats row to whatever your platform actually reports, followers and average reach for Instagram, followers and average views for TikTok.
Does a media kit need to include exact pricing?
No, and most don't. A short note that rates are available on request is standard, with the actual numbers living in a separate rate card sent once a brand expresses interest.
