Hey [FIRST NAME], Andy is sober, runs two creator businesses, and owns rooms where creators gather. There is a strong 'celebrate life never wasted' activation here with event and studio product integration. I work with Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators Inc. and BuzzStar. Open to the one-page concept?
Why Andy fits
The commercial reason to care.
The brand's social-without-alcohol story maps directly to Andy's lived sobriety. His events and studios give the drink an IRL trial environment and a default-pour story instead of a detached post.
Research edge
What makes this pitch timely.
Event/studio integration
01 Current signal
On December 1, 2025, hiyo announced a Live Nation partnership placing its social tonics in select venues and festivals nationwide.
Creators Inc can pilot hiyo as the alcohol-free default pour at creator gatherings, anchored by Andy's lived sobriety and creator-made serves.
Strategic inference
Evidence noteThe recipe confirms collaboration but not whether it was paid; hiyo's separate partnerships page is an open intake that also does not promise compensation.

Outreach workflow
How the team handles hiyo.
The workflow and message library live here with the research so the brand page is self-contained.
01
Read the deal path
Use the route classification on this page: send the tailored proposal. Do not assume a public creator program is the sponsorship inbox.
02
Verify the owner
Find a current named person in or near this function: Brand Partnerships. Treat the listed roles as research targets, not verified contacts.
03
Add one current signal
Find one recent launch, post, founder quote, campaign, or product detail and use it in the marked personalization line.
04
Send the custom pitch
Use email or LinkedIn for the sponsorship owner. Use Instagram as a door opener or to ask who owns paid creator partnerships, not as an affiliate signup shortcut.
05
Follow the cadence
Use the follow-up sequence below on days 4, 8, and 14, then stop active outreach and leave the door open.
06
Route the reply
Send requested materials and move qualified interest to a short fit call with Andy.
Template: replace every bracket.Use only Andy’s approved current metrics, sender details, booking link, and final concept before copying any message into outreach.

First DM to a decision-maker
Hey [FIRST NAME] - [PERSONALIZATION: one recent, specific brand signal]. I work with Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators Inc. and BuzzStar. We have a Non-Alcoholic Beverages partnership idea that puts hiyo into Andy's real creator-facing routine and content - not a one-off reach buy. Open to the one-page concept?
First DM to the brand account
Hi hiyo team - [PERSONALIZATION: one specific launch, post, or product detail]. I represent Andy Bachman at Creators Inc. We built a concrete Non-Alcoholic Beverages integration around [PRODUCT] and Andy's creator-facing content, podcast/event ecosystem, and daily use. Who is the right person for creator or brand partnerships?
Follow-up 1 - day 4
Quick follow-up because the fit is unusually clean: [ONE-SENTENCE CATEGORY HOOK]. If you point me to the right partnerships lead, I can send the one-pager and keep this easy.
Follow-up 2 - day 8
One concrete version: [PRODUCT] becomes [PLACEMENT / RECURRING USE MOMENT], with Andy using it naturally before any larger content discussion. Worth a 15-minute fit check next week?
Close the loop - day 14
I will close the loop for now so I do not crowd the inbox. The hiyo x Andy angle is here when the timing is right. If there is a better owner or planning window, send me that direction and I will follow it.

Connection note
[FIRST NAME] - [SHORT PERSONALIZATION]. I represent Andy Bachman at Creators Inc. and have a specific hiyo partnership idea. Glad to send the one-page concept if useful.
Message after acceptance
Thanks for connecting. [PERSONALIZATION: reference the same specific brand signal]. Andy is a creator-economy operator, not a conventional reach rental, and the idea is to integrate [PRODUCT] into [CATEGORY-SPECIFIC PLACEMENT] in a way he would genuinely use. Are you the right owner for a short partnership concept, or is there someone else I should send it to?
InMail
Subject: A specific hiyo x Andy Bachman idea
Hi [FIRST NAME] - [PERSONALIZATION: recent brand signal]. I work with Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators Inc. and BuzzStar. We mapped a Non-Alcoholic Beverages partnership that makes [PRODUCT] part of Andy's real on-camera routine and creator ecosystem, rather than buying a disconnected post. I can send the one-page concept here, or book a 15-minute fit check if you own partnerships. Which is easier?

Selective first email
Subject: hiyo x Andy Bachman - a concrete Non-Alcoholic Beverages integration
Hi [FIRST NAME],
[PERSONALIZATION: one recent, specific brand signal].
I represent Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators Inc. and BuzzStar. We built a simple idea for [PRODUCT]: [ONE-SENTENCE CATEGORY PLACEMENT]. The advantage is credible use inside a creator-facing ecosystem, not a detached sponsored post.
If this sits with you, I can send the one-page concept or hold 15 minutes for a fit check. If not, who owns creator or brand partnerships?
Best, [EA NAME] For Andy Bachman [PHONE] | [BOOKING LINK] [VALID POSTAL ADDRESS]
If you would rather not receive outreach from us, reply no and I will close the loop.
Email follow-up
Subject: Re: hiyo x Andy Bachman
Hi [FIRST NAME],
One useful way to picture it: [PRODUCT] becomes [RECURRING USE / CONTENT / EVENT MOMENT], with Andy using it naturally and the brand able to expand only after the fit is proven.
Should I send the Non-Alcoholic Beverages one-pager, or close this for now?
Best, [EA NAME]

Send details
Absolutely. I am sending the [INDUSTRY] one-pager here. The short version is [ONE-SENTENCE INTEGRATION]. If it is directionally right, Andy can hold 15 minutes on [OPTION 1] or [OPTION 2].
What are the numbers?
I can send the current verified media and network figures with the one-pager. We keep the first conversation focused on product fit and placement, then match scope to the exact audience and usage rights you need.
What is the rate?
The rate depends on the mix - organic content, recurring integration, event/podcast placement, category exclusivity, and paid usage all price differently. If you share the objective and intended usage, Andy can shape the cleanest scope on a 15-minute call.
Product only?
Andy only features products he would genuinely use, so a product-first fit check can make sense. We would treat gifted product as trial, not an automatic content commitment. Any content, usage, whitelisting, or exclusivity would be agreed separately.
Not now
Understood. What planning window should I put on the calendar - next quarter, holiday, or a specific launch? I will close the active follow-up and return only then.
Wrong person
Thanks for the redirect. Is creator partnerships, brand marketing, influencer marketing, social, or PR the closest owner on your side? A name or team inbox is plenty.
No
Understood - I will close it out. Thank you for the quick answer.
