Pitching Digitalocean
- 1.
Check your fit against the data above. Digitalocean mostly buys Technology channels. If your channel matches that profile, you are pitching with the odds, not against them.
- 2.
Reference their recent deals. A pitch that names the creators they sponsored last month reads like research, not spam.
- 3.
Lead with your numbers: average views, audience niche, and a rate anchored to what similar deals are worth. Our rate calculator gives you a defensible starting range.
