Snippet vs Manual Brand Outreach
What you gain when AI handles your brand deals instead of doing it yourself
Most content creators spend 15–20 hours per week on brand deal admin: finding brands, writing pitches, following up, managing responses. Snippet automates this entire workflow, freeing creators to focus on content while landing more deals with less effort.
