Brand Deals on Instagram
Never miss a brand deal in your DMs again
Collab and sponsorship DMs get buried under fan messages and lost to Instagram’s 24-hour window. Insteed spots every brand deal the moment it lands, alerts you instantly, and sends your media kit in one tap.

The collab that could’ve paid your rent is in your hidden requests folder
Brands reach out in the DMs, and because you don’t follow them, that offer often lands in “message requests”, unread. Even when it hits your main inbox, it’s one line in a flood of fan replies. Miss it for a day and the reply window closes or the brand books someone else.
Insteed makes sure a paid partnership never gets treated like spam again.

Brand deals on Instagram FAQs
How do brand deals usually get missed on Instagram?▾
Most collab offers arrive as a DM that lands in the same flat inbox as hundreds of fan messages, and many sit in the “message requests” folder you rarely open. By the time you scroll to it, the 24-hour reply window may have closed or the brand has moved on. Insteed reads every DM, flags the collab and sponsorship ones, and alerts you immediately.
How does Insteed know a DM is a brand deal?▾
Its classifier reads each message for collab intent, words and phrases like “collaboration”, “paid partnership”, “gifting”, “PR”, “ambassador”, “rate card”, or a brand introducing itself. Those get tagged Collab and pushed to the top of your inbox with a one-line summary and a suggested reply.
Can it send my media kit automatically?▾
Yes. Insteed includes a live media kit you can send to a collab request in one tap, so a brand gets your audience, rates, and past work the moment they reach out, while your interest is still warm.
Will this help me land more sponsorships?▾
Speed and professionalism win collabs. Replying within minutes with a polished media kit puts you ahead of creators who answer days later (or never see the DM). Insteed makes that the default instead of the exception.
Is it safe to connect my Instagram account?▾
Yes. Insteed is a Meta Verified Tech Provider and connects only through the official Instagram APIs, with no password sharing, no scraping, no risk to your account.
Is there a free way to get started?▾
Yes. Insteed has a free Starter plan. Connect your account and see the collab and buyer DMs in your inbox, before you pay anything.
