The creator media kit in 2026: what brands actually check

Every "how to pitch brands" guide says the same thing: make a media kit PDF in Canva. Meanwhile the person on the other side — the brand paying — has learned to ignore most of what is in them. Here is what actually gets checked, and how to present it.

What brands look at, in order

Why the PDF is dying

A PDF media kit has two problems: it is outdated the week after you export it, and every number in it is typed by you. Brands have seen enough edited screenshots that self-reported numbers now carry roughly zero weight.

The verified link

The 2026 answer is a live page with numbers a brand can trust because you COULD NOT have typed them. A media kit at inflok.me/yourhandle shows your median views, engagement and views-per-follower read directly from Instagram's API — marked verified because they are fetched, not entered, and updated automatically.

One link in your bio replaces the PDF, the screenshots, and the "can you send your stats?" back-and-forth entirely.

Set it up once

Join free, connect Instagram through its official login (read-only — no password, no posting rights), and the page maintains itself. Put the link in your bio and every brand conversation starts from proof.
