The Challenge: A Passionate Influencer Struggling for Professional Recognition
Nandi “The Foodie Fix” Mkhize, a vibrant South African lifestyle influencer with a rapidly growing following on Instagram, faced a common challenge: despite her engaging content and dedicated audience, securing consistent, high-paying brand partnerships was proving difficult. Brands often requested a professional media kit, a central content hub, or a more established online presence than a Link-in-Bio could offer. Nandi was passionate but knew she needed to professionalize to truly scale her influence.
The Solution: Scream-Media.co.za’s “Influence Starter” Package (with Divi AI & Gated Media Kit)
Nandi approached scream-media.co.za looking for an affordable yet powerful solution. We recommended our “Influence Starter” Website Package, specifically customised with the Gated Media Kit add-on and the game-changing Divi AI integration.
Our process involved:
- Rapid Website Deployment: A beautiful, mobile-responsive 5-page website (Home, About, Blog, Media Kit, Contact) was built on the versatile Divi framework, designed to reflect Nandi’s unique brand aesthetic.
- SEO-First Foundation: As SEO Engineers, we implemented crucial on-page SEO from day one, ensuring her website was visible to brands and followers searching for her niche. Google Analytics and Search Console were integrated for critical performance tracking.
- Strategic Gated Media Kit: Instead of just a public page, we implemented a secure, login-required Media Kit. This allowed Nandi to capture essential data (name, company, email) from interested brands before revealing her full portfolio, audience demographics, and rate card. This turned passive interest into actionable leads.
- Divi AI Empowerment: Nandi received training on how to leverage Divi AI. This immediately boosted her content creation, allowing her to generate engaging blog posts, optimize existing copy, and even create unique website imagery without needing a graphic designer.
“Before Scream-Media, I felt like I was constantly trying to prove my worth. Now, with my professional website and the amazing Gated Media Kit, brands take me seriously. Divi AI has been a game-changer for my blog – I can literally conjure up a post idea and have a draft in minutes!” – Nandi
The Results: Increased Professionalism, Leads, and Brand Partnerships
Within just two months of launching her new website:
- 12+ Qualified Brand Inquiries: Nandi saw a significant increase in professional inquiries through her Gated Media Kit, allowing her to proactively follow up with interested brands.
- Secured 3 New High-Value Partnerships: The professionalism of her website and media kit directly contributed to securing three lucrative brand deals.
