It’s essential to clearly define and structure your ICP targeting: - Target team roles: Heads of Marketing, Head of Growth, Ecommerce Managers, Social/Brand Managers. - Geography: EMEA, with a primary focus on EU or Germany, but consider expanding to international DTC/retail brands. - Company size: 50–500 employees, $5M+ ARR or fast-growing ecommerce stores. - Industry: DTC/retail/CPG, beauty, fashion brands, as well as agencies running influencer campaigns. You can further refine your ICP and directly import these criteria into Leadsforge for list building. Here is why: A clear ICP ensures you’re reaching decision-makers with relevance, increasing the effectiveness of every outbound message you send.

The best time to reach out is when brands show: - New funding or hiring for performance/creator roles - Recent product drops or seasonal launches - Heavy Instagram/TikTok activity - Adoption of Shopify, Klaviyo, or similar integrations - When competitors launch their own creator programs Here is why: Trigger-based targeting makes your outreach highly relevant and personalized, leading to much better response rates versus generic cold emails.
