Media kit template: a one page media kit for Pakistani creators
By the Wasta team, Karachi · Updated · 7 min read
The short version
A media kit is a one page summary that tells a brand who you are, who watches you and what you charge. A good one has seven parts: a one line intro, your niche, your audience split by city, age and gender from Instagram insights, your average reach and views, a rate card, past collaborations, and how to contact you. Take every number from the last 30 to 90 days and update the page monthly.
- One page beats ten. Brands skim, so put the numbers they ask for first.
- Audience location, age and gender come from Instagram insights, not guesswork.
- Show average reach and views, not your single best reel.
- A rate card with clear prices saves a whole round of messages.
- Date your numbers and refresh them every month.
What is a media kit, and do micro influencers need one?
A media kit is the page you send when a brand says, "Can you share your details?" It answers the three questions every marketing person has before they spend money on you: who are you, who will see the content, and what will it cost. Without one, the brand has to dig through your profile and ask for screenshots in a DM, and many simply move on to the next creator who made it easy.
You do not need a big following to need a media kit. For nano and micro creators it matters more, not less, because a brand is taking a chance on a smaller name. A tidy page with real numbers tells them you take the work seriously. If you are about to pitch for the first time, read how to land your first brand deal alongside this guide.
What should a media kit include? A one page template
Keep everything on one page, in this order. Brands read from the top and stop as soon as they have what they need, so the most requested numbers come early.
- 1Intro line. Your name or handle, your city and one sentence on what you make. Example: "Sana, Karachi. Weekend food reels with honest prices, mostly cafes and street food."
- 2Niche. One or two niches, not six: food, fashion, beauty, tech, parenting, fitness, travel. Add your content style too: reviews, tutorials, vlogs, comedy skits.
- 3Audience. From Instagram insights: your top cities, top age ranges and the gender split. Write your top three cities in order, for example "Karachi first, then Lahore and Hyderabad", and your main age band.
- 4Average reach and views. Accounts reached in the last 30 days, and the average views on your last ten reels. Say which period the numbers cover.
- 5Rate card. Your price for one reel, one story and one static post, plus a package if you offer one. Note that usage rights and exclusivity are charged separately. The influencer rates guide shows indicative ranges by tier.
- 6Past collaborations. Three to five brands or campaigns you have worked on, with one line each on what you made. If you are new, list barter or unpaid work and your best organic posts in the niche.
- 7Contact. One email address and one WhatsApp number or your Wasta profile link, plus how quickly you usually reply. Never make a brand hunt for this.
Put a date at the bottom, such as "Numbers as of October 2026". It tells the brand the page is current, and it reminds you when it is time to update.
Media kit examples: intro lines that work
The intro line is the part brands remember. Here are three examples, one per niche, to adapt rather than copy:
- Food, Karachi: "Honest food reels from Burns Road to Do Darya, with prices on screen so people know what they will pay."
- Beauty, Lahore: "Skincare for humid summers and dry winters, tested on my own skin for two weeks before I post."
- Tech, Islamabad: "Budget phone and gadget reviews in Urdu, for people buying their first good phone."
Each one says where, what and for whom in a single breath. That is all an intro line has to do. The rest of the page backs it up with numbers.
Where do you find audience numbers in Instagram insights?
- 1If you have not already, switch to a professional account (creator or business) in your Instagram settings. Insights only appear on professional accounts.
- 2Open your profile, tap the professional dashboard, then Insights.
- 3Under total followers, look at top locations (cities and countries), age range and gender. Instagram only shows these once you pass a minimum number of followers.
- 4Under accounts reached and views, set the period to the last 30 days, and write down both numbers.
- 5For average reel views, open your last ten reels, add up their views and divide by ten. Ten reels is enough to smooth out one viral hit and one flop.
If you connect Instagram on Wasta, your followers, reach and engagement come straight from Instagram, so a brand does not have to trust a screenshot.
What should you leave out of a media kit?
- Your best reel presented as normal. One reel with huge views is a highlight, not your average. Show it under past work if you like, but keep the average honest.
- A follower count with nothing else. It is the first number brands look at and the least useful on its own.
- Long bios and life stories. One line about you is enough. Save the story for your content.
- Every brand you have ever tagged. List collaborations you actually did, not brands you mentioned once.
- Design that hides the numbers. Five fonts, dark backgrounds and tiny text are hard to read on a phone, which is where most brands will open your kit.
- Other brands' private terms. Never share what another brand paid you or the details of its campaign.
How do you keep media kit numbers honest and current?
Brands compare what your media kit says with what they see on your profile. If the gap is big, they stop trusting the rest of the page, including your rates.
- Use averages over a stated period, never a peak.
- Update the page once a month, or before every pitch if your numbers are moving fast.
- If your reach drops, update anyway. A brand that later finds your old, bigger number feels misled.
- Never buy followers or engagement to fill the page. Brands check more than they used to, and the fake followers guide shows exactly what they look for.
- Keep screenshots of your insights for the same period, in case a brand asks to see them.
PDF or link: how should you send a media kit?
| Format | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Email pitches, agencies that keep media kits on file, printing | It is out of date the day you send it; keep the file small so it opens on WhatsApp | |
| Shared link (Google Drive, Canva) | Updating in one place, sending in a DM | Check the sharing setting so the brand is not asked to request access |
| Wasta creator profile | Brands already looking for creators on Wasta | Keep your rates and past work filled in |
Many creators keep both: a link they update often, and a PDF exported from it for anyone who asks for a file.

Questions people ask
Do micro influencers need a media kit?
Yes. A micro or nano creator is asking a brand to take a chance on a smaller name, and a clean one page kit with real numbers makes that easier. It also saves you typing the same details into every DM.
Should I put my rates in my media kit?
Usually, yes. Rates on the page filter out brands that cannot afford you and save a round of messages. If you prefer to quote per campaign, write "starting from" prices so brands still know the range.
How often should I update my media kit?
Once a month is a good habit, and always before a big pitch. Write the date the numbers were taken at the bottom of the page.
What is the difference between a media kit and a rate card?
A rate card is just your prices. A media kit includes the rate card plus who you are, your audience, your reach and views, and your past work.
Can my Wasta profile be my media kit?
Yes. A free Wasta creator profile holds your niche, rates and past work on one page, and when you connect Instagram your followers, reach and engagement come straight from Instagram. You can send the link to any brand.
