How to Make an Instagram Media Kit (Free Guide & Examples)

By Vedant Padmawar, Founder, Hypee·Published ·Updated ·6 min read

A media kit is a one-page profile that tells a brand who you are, who your audience is, and what you charge. It's what turns a DM conversation into a deal. Here's what to include, what to avoid, and how to make one for free.

What is an Instagram media kit?

An Instagram media kit is a short, shareable page or document that summarizes your audience and your value to brands. Think of it as a creator's résumé: it lets a brand vet you in under a minute instead of asking for screenshots.

What to include in your media kit

Keep it to one page. Brands skim — make the key numbers obvious and current.

  • • A short bio, your niche and your city.
  • • Follower count and audience demographics (age, gender, top cities).
  • • Engagement rate and average likes or reach per post.
  • • Your best-performing content as proof.
  • • Past brand collaborations, if any.
  • • Your rates for a Reel, story and feed post, and how to contact you.

Mistakes that cost creators deals

Most media kits that don't convert fail for the same few reasons:

  • • Stale numbers — a PDF from six months ago that no longer matches your profile.
  • • No rates — brands with a budget move on to creators who show a price.
  • • Screenshots instead of stats — hard to read and impossible to verify.
  • • Too long — five pages of photos when the brand wanted one page of numbers.
  • • No clear next step — no email, WhatsApp or link to start the conversation.
