Lead with this

“Would you be open to a founder-wearer test: one performance look through a podcast shoot, a Miami event, and real heat without losing the tailored silhouette?”

Hey [FIRST NAME], Would you be open to a founder-wearer test: one performance look through a podcast shoot, a Miami event, and real heat without losing the tailored silhouette? 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.

One of the cleanest trained-body-to-business-stage fits. Andy can test tailored performance through a podcast, Miami event, travel day, and real heat without turning it into a formalwear shoot.

Research edge

What makes this pitch timely.

Performance/product proof

01 Current signal

State & Liberty opened a Greenville, South Carolina store on January 23, 2026, its second location in the state.

Upstate Business Journal store-opening report (secondary)January 26, 2026 ↗

02 Creator evidence

State & Liberty's application-reviewed influencer program may provide approved partners product, sales revenue share and even upfront cash, supporting both performance compensation and potentially paid work rather than a purely self-serve affiliate.

03 White space for Andy

Because the program chiefly targets fitness-facing promoters, Andy can own the trained-founder use case by proving one tailored performance look through a studio shoot, travel day and live business event.

Strategic inference

Evidence noteThe expansion signal is from a reputable local business publication because no dated official opening announcement surfaced.

Outreach workflow

How the team handles State & Liberty.

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: Influencer 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 Clothing partnership idea that puts State & Liberty 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 State & Liberty team - [PERSONALIZATION: one specific launch, post, or product detail]. I represent Andy Bachman at Creators Inc. We built a concrete Clothing 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 State & Liberty 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 State & Liberty 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 State & Liberty 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 Clothing 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: State & Liberty x Andy Bachman - a concrete Clothing 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,

Email follow-up

Subject: Re: State & Liberty 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 Clothing 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.
