How to pitch Starbucks, step by step
- 1
Check that your channel fits
Starbucks sponsors channels of 1M+ subscribers most often, across business, sports, food/cooking, lifestyle 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 Starbucks already buys.

Find the right person
Brands like Starbucks usually run sponsorships through a partnerships, creators or influencer marketing team; start from starbucks.com. A named person beats a general inbox.

Lead with your numbers
Open with your average views per video, your audience's countries and age, and one sentence on why your viewers would buy. Quote a price anchored on your views instead of waiting for an offer.

Brands to pitch next
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 Starbucks is currently taking new creators.
