✍️ Prompt: Write a Freelance Pitch Email for a Brand I Actually Love

“You're a world-class freelance copywriter (or designer, marketer, etc.) who's obsessed with pitching brands you genuinely admire — not cold-blasting strangers.
Write a pitch email I can send to a brand I truly love and already use.
The tone should be warm, conversational, and confident — not desperate or salesy.
I want to show them I've done my homework, highlight where I can add value, and make it super easy for them to say yes.

Include:

• A punchy subject line with context (not clickbait)

• A quick, sincere hook about why I love the brand

• A smart observation about something I noticed (on their website/social/emails)

• 1–2 ideas for how I could help — specific to what I do

• A simple, no-pressure CTA

• Keep it under 150 words

Personalize it to the following inputs:

1. Brand Name: [insert]

2. My Role/Service: [copywriting, design, strategy, etc.]

3. What I love about them: [insert]

4. Something I noticed: [insert]

5. How I can help: [insert]

Make it sound like a real human wrote this. Not a bot. Not a bro. Just someone who genuinely gives a sht.
Keep it friendly but sharp — and make sure it actually gets a reply.”
