By [Doomers AI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/doomers-ai) Launch distribution for AI companies Guide ยท 8 min read # Influencer brief template, *for a tech launch on X* **A creator brief for a tech launch needs ten fields, fits on one page and leaves the writing to the creator.** Here is each field and why it matters, a filled-in example for an AI launch, and a blank template to copy. An influencer brief template for a tech launch on X needs ten fields: the launch, the date and posting window, what is new, the one thing to land, proof points, links, what not to say, disclosure, approval rules and timing. Below is a filled-in example for an AI product launch, then a blank version you can copy. We wrote it from the buying side. Doomers AI briefs a network of 1,000+ founders, engineers and creators on AI launches every week, and this is the shape our briefs take. It fits on one page, and it gives the creator material to write from in their own voice. **10 fields** One page, sent when the creator is booked. Three to ten days of lead time gives the widest choice of creators, and most launches go live inside five. ## What a creator brief is for A creator brief gives the person posting the context, the claim, the material and the constraints. The creator writes the post. That split is the whole point of paying a person with an audience, because they know what their readers will ask and how to say it so it lands. A brief that arrives with finished copy turns a creator into a billboard. Readers spot supplied copy quickly, and identical sentences across ten accounts collapse the credibility of every post at once. [How creator amplification works](https://doomers.ai/guides/creator-amplification) covers why variety between creators matters on a launch. What the brief does control is accuracy. Claims that cannot be supported do not go out, whoever is posting them. ## The ten fields, and why each one matters | Field | What goes in it | Why it matters | |---|---|---| | Launch | Product name, one-sentence description, which account posts the announcement | The creator has to know whose post they are quoting before anything else | | Date and window | Day, the main post's time, and the window for theirs, with a time zone | A post four hours late sits outside the hours that decide how far a launch travels | | What is new | What someone can do today that they could not do yesterday | Feature lists produce feature-list posts. A change in what is possible gives them an angle | | The one thing to land | The single claim you want readers to remember, in plain words | Ten claims spread across twenty posts leave nobody remembering any of them | | Proof points | The numbers and facts the creator is allowed to cite, with where each came from | Creators repeat what they are given. If it is wrong, it is wrong in public under their name | | Links | The launch post, the product page, a tracked link per creator, docs, a demo account | A tracked link per creator is how you read the result post by post afterwards | | What not to say | Unsupported claims, competitor comparisons, pricing that is not final, anything under embargo | The one place the brief constrains the creator, so flag it once, at the start | | Disclosure | X's paid partnership label, plus a plain line in the post | It is an FTC requirement and X's own rule, and the exposure lands on the brand | | Approval rules | Whether a draft is needed, one round on facts only, a 24-hour turnaround | Approval loops are where launch posts lose the voice you paid for | | Timing | Quote or original post, posting order, reply cover, a technical contact on the day | Replies in the first hours do more for reach than anything else the creator does | Pay and usage rights go in the agreement, and it helps to repeat them at the foot of the brief so nobody has to search an email thread on launch day. [What to agree before anyone posts](https://doomers.ai/guides/creator-deal-terms) covers the terms, and [B2B creator rates](https://doomers.ai/guides/b2b-creator-rates) covers what moves the fee. ## A filled-in example for an AI launch This is a brief for a made-up company launching an eval tool for AI agents. Every name, link and number in it is invented, so swap in your own. LAUNCH BRIEF: Quillstack Evals 1.0 (example) LAUNCH Quillstack Evals 1.0, an eval suite for AI agents.

Organic only: no ads from your post, no reuse off X without asking first. ## The blank influencer brief template Copy this into a doc and fill it in. If a field is empty the day before you send it, the launch is not ready to brief. LAUNCH BRIEF: [Product] [version] LAUNCH [Product], [one sentence on what it does]. The announcement goes out from @[account]. DATE AND WINDOW [Day, date]. Main post at [time, time zone]. Your post goes live between [time] and [time]. WHAT'S NEW [What someone can do today that they couldn't yesterday.] THE ONE THING TO LAND [One claim, in plain words.] Say it your way. PROOF POINTS YOU CAN CITE - [Fact or number] ([source]) - [Fact or number] ([source]) - [Fact or number] ([source]) LINKS Launch post: [link, or "added at (time)"] Your tracked link: [link] Docs or demo: [link] Product access: [how and when they get an account] DO NOT SAY - [Claim we can't support] - [Comparison we won't make] - [Anything under embargo] DISCLOSURE This is a paid post. Turn on X's paid partnership label and add a plain line, e.g. "Paid partnership with [Company]". APPROVAL [Draft needed / optional] by [date]. One round, facts only. No reply within 24 hours = approved. TIMING [Quote the main post / post your own]. Replies for the first [hours]. Technical contact on the day: [name, handle, hours]. FEE AND TERMS $[fee], paid [when]. Usage: [organic only / other, priced]. ## Why the brief has one claim, and no copy Pick the single claim the whole launch rests on before you write the brief. If the team cannot agree on it in a sentence, the creators will each pick a different one, and the launch will read as twenty unrelated posts. [Launch narrative design](https://doomers.ai/guides/launch-narrative-design) covers how to choose it. Then leave the wording to the creator. The best launch posts find an angle the company would never have written, such as the objection their audience will raise. Give them something to argue with, too. [Launch conversation design](https://doomers.ai/guides/launch-conversation-design) shows how to leave threads open for replies. ## Disclosure and approval rules Every paid post carries X's paid partnership label. Put it in the brief in plain words, so it is agreed before anyone accepts and nobody raises it later. [The paid partnership label](https://doomers.ai/guides/paid-partnership-disclosure) covers what triggers it and who is liable. Keep approval to one round, on facts only. You can tell a creator a number is wrong or a feature works differently, and you leave the phrasing alone. Put a turnaround in writing: no reply within 24 hours means approved. Otherwise the launch date arrives with a post stuck in somebody's inbox. ## Timing on the day Launches are timed to the hour. Give each creator a window, a time zone and a posting order, with quote posts that carry a take going early while the claim is still a question. Across 2,095 launches in our directory, accounts under 100,000 followers did best posting between 10am and 2pm Eastern, and noon was the most crowded hour. [The best time to post on X](https://doomers.ai/guides/best-time-to-post-on-x) has the full table. Name a technical contact who will be online during the window. The questions that arrive in the replies are where a launch becomes credible, and a creator with no one to ask has to guess. ## Questions we get asked ### What is an influencer brief? An influencer brief is the one-page document a company sends a creator before a paid post. It covers the launch, the date and posting window, what is new, the one claim to land, the proof points the creator can cite, links, what not to say, disclosure, approval rules and timing. The creator writes the post themselves from it. ### What should an influencer brief include for a tech launch? Ten fields: the launch, the date and window with a time zone, what is new, the one thing to land, proof points with sources, links including a tracked link per creator, what not to say, disclosure with X's paid partnership label, approval rules, and timing on the day. Pay and usage rights belong in the agreement and can be repeated at the foot of the brief. ### Should a brief include the copy for the post? No. A creator who publishes supplied copy adds nothing, readers recognise it as an ad, and identical wording across accounts damages every post at once. Give the creator the claim, the facts and the constraints, and let them write it in their own voice. ### How many rounds of approval should a brand ask for? One round, on facts only, with a 24-hour turnaround after which the draft counts as approved. A brand should be able to correct a wrong number or a misdescribed feature. Approval over phrasing produces posts that sound like marketing and perform like it. ### Do paid creator posts on X need a disclosure label? Yes. Any creator receiving payment, product, equity or free access has a material connection that the US FTC's Endorsement Guides require them to disclose. X provides a paid partnership label for it, and every paid post in a Doomers AI launch carries that label plus a plain line in the post.
