How to pitch American Express, step by step
- 1
Check that your channel fits
American Express sponsors channels of 500K–1M subscribers most often, across business, sports, unknown, travel. If your size band says "Rarely" or "Not seen" above, pitch with a strong reason it fits your audience, or start with a brand that already sponsors channels like yours.

Watch a few of its recent integrations
Note where the read sits in the video, how long it runs, and whether there's a promo code or a link. Your pitch is stronger when you show you know the format American Express already buys.

Find the right person
Brands like American Express usually run sponsorships through a partnerships, creators or influencer marketing team. A named person beats a general inbox.
