You’re a brand trying to connect with mom creators.
Not for vanity metrics or one-and-done sponsored posts — but for real relationships that drive content, community, and conversions.
Most brands are going about it completely backwards.
Here’s how to actually find and partner with the right mom creators — the ones who will grow with you, not just post about you.
1. Start With a Bird in the Hand
Your next great creator is probably already in your world.
Before you start cold-DM’ing influencers, look at:
- Moms who have already purchased your product
- Customers who’ve tagged you on social
- Moms engaging with your brand on email or in DMs
- Testimonials you’ve gotten from actual users
This is your goldmine.
These are the women who already love you — and whose content will feel real, not forced.
Start there. Always.
2. Fit > Followers (Every. Single. Time.)
This cannot be overstated:
Follower count means nothing if the creator isn’t a fit.
When you chase metrics, you get generic content. When you prioritize fit, you get magic:
Moms who understand your product, speak to your exact customer, and create content that actually converts.
So be a fanatic about fit.
Look at her audience. Her tone. Her lifestyle. Her values.
Because nothing breaks trust faster than a brand that partners with the wrong voice.
3. Get Clear on the Problem You Solve — And Who Has It
Here’s where so many brands fall flat:
You say your product is “for every mom.”
Hard no.
If I ask what kind of mom you’re targeting and your answer is “all of them,” we’ve got a positioning problem.
Real marketing is rooted in solving a specific problem for a specific person.
So first — define the problem.
Then go deep on social and search for moms talking about that problem.
Example:
If you’re a meal-prep brand for picky eaters, go find moms posting about their kid’s food battles.
That’s who you want — not the mom with 100K followers and zero kitchen content.
4. Think Outside Instagram
Stop thinking like it’s 2018.
Moms are everywhere now:
- Substack newsletters
- YouTube family channels
- Pinterest boards
- Podcasts
- Private Facebook groups
- Twitter/X threads
The right creator for you might be building an audience on a platform you’ve been ignoring.
Broaden your view. That’s where the opportunity lives.
5. Use Creator Platforms — But Do It Smart
There are amazing platforms built to connect you with creators, like:
- Trend.io
- Insense
- Billo
- JoinBrands
Download a list of platforms and programs where you can find mom creators of all kinds:
Pro tip: don’t just look for “reach.” Use these platforms to start small, strategic partnerships.
Instead of asking for a full campaign, start with a simple product test. A market research convo. A casual UGC request.
Then see what clicks. Relationship first, deliverables later.
Final Thought: This Is About Relationships, Not Reach
If you're just looking for someone to say "Buy this!" on Instagram, you're in the wrong game.
But if you're ready to:
- Build a go-to circle of mom creators who get your product
- Tap into real insights from real moms
- Co-create content that builds trust, not noise
Then you're ready for the next evolution of influencer marketing.
This isn’t about finding the loudest voice.
It’s about finding the right ones — and building from there.
