# Build a creator shortlist

Find public creator profiles and explain why each may fit your audience.

Which creators might credibly reach this audience?

> This is a task pattern. The Plugin or API available in your account and Agent session determines the actual steps, cost, and output.

## What to provide

- Product, target audience, topic, platform, and campaign goal.
- Maximum shortlist size and fit or exclusion criteria.
- Whether you want draft outreach copy for later review.

## Copy this prompt

**Copy example prompt**

```text
Use SpringBrand to find up to [N] creators on [platform] who reach [audience] and discuss [topic].

Ask for missing criteria. Check the available creator discovery capability, its inputs, and cost before running. Use public profile information only.

For each candidate, include a profile URL, recent work, audience-fit evidence, uncertainty or brand-safety notes, and why they fit this campaign. Rank by the stated criteria.

If useful, draft a personalized opening for each candidate, clearly marked as an unsent draft. Do not message, follow, or contact anyone.
```

## Possible SpringBrand capabilities

- [Creator Discovery & Outreach](https://devsite.springbrand.ai/playbook/res-creator-discovery-outreach) describes profile links, fit signals, risk notes, and outreach drafts.
- **Instagram or TikTok** can help review public creator profiles and posts. See [Find leads & creators](/developers/docs/capability-leads).

## What the result could look like

> **Illustrative structure — placeholders, not a live result**

> **Candidate:** [Profile URL] · [recent content URL] · [specific audience-fit reason].
> **Risk or gap:** [Information not verified, such as audience demographics or past sponsorship terms].
> **Unsent draft:** A short outreach opening tied to one verified piece of the creator’s work.

## Review the result

- Open a sample of profiles and recent posts to confirm the person and topic.
- Do not infer private audience demographics from public follower counts.
- Approve any outreach separately after reviewing the candidate and message.

## Next step

Select a small set for manual review, then decide whether an authorized outreach task is appropriate.
