How to pitch Brilliant, step by step
- 1
Check that your channel fits
Brilliant sponsors channels of 100K–500K subscribers most often, across music, entertainment, unknown, hobbies/collectibles and more. 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 Brilliant already buys.

Same niche, similar reach.
Counts cover sponsored videos published in the last year, detected from public YouTube data via the official YouTube Data API. A sponsored video is one whose description or paid-promotion disclosure names the brand. A detected sponsorship is not confirmation of fees or contract terms, and does not mean Brilliant is currently taking new creators.
