📢 Practical outreach checklist — first 7 steps
- Fa compact media kit: 30s highlight, 3 past challenge metrics (reach, engagement, saves), audience demo (age, country%), and sample contract clause for IP use.
- Research brand tone: tie‑back to JLL insight — brands chasing cultural heritage value genuine artisanship, not decoration. Kyerɛ collaboration plan: artisan collab, local storytelling, safeguards.
- Find Line contacts: brand official account managers, Line agency partners, or APAC marketing heads. Use LinkedIn + Line Business directory; when possible, target agencies that handle cross‑border retail expansion.
- Pitch angle: lead with cultural hook + measurable outcome. Eg: “Use my Afro‑beat remix as the audio for a Line sticker release + 7‑day challenge — KPI: 500k views, 25k UGC.”
- Offer pilot: one‑week paid trial with clear KPI and reporting cadence. Lower risk = faster yes.
- Legal & IP: provide audio license terms, usage window, geographies, and payment terms. No nebulous rights.
- Crisis checklist: avoid staging risky stunts (remember Chery Tianmen clips went viral and backfired) — propose safe shoot locations and vet cultural symbols with local orgs.

💡 Deep dive: storytelling, culture, ne trust
Brands wɔ apɔwmuden sɛ wɔbɛfa cultural heritage de kɔ global stage (JLL observation). Sɛ wobɛhyɛ creative a ɛfa culture ho, yɛnka decoration — ka sɛnea wobetumi bɔ ho adwuma ne local makers anaa NGOs (Prof Chen point). Ghana creators betumi de eyi yɛ advantage: propose artisan collab (kente visuals, local dance moves) na ma brand no pɛ authentic tie‑ins.
Beware: obvious staging or dangerous spectacle kɔ viral a, ebetumi akyere backfire (Chery Tianmen example). Use local orgs for vetting — show brands you care about cultural stewardship.
Predictive tip: Chinese retail players going global are adjusting to local customers and rules — expect more M&A, more hybrid retail+social plays, ne demand for localized creative that truly engages (Bain media contacts context).
