💡 Why UK creators should target Brazilian brands on Netflix
If you create content in the UK and want to level up with big-brand money, pitching Brazilian brands tied to Netflix releases is one of the cleaner plays you can run. Why? Because streaming-first campaigns combine cultural moment (a new show drops), built-in hook (the show’s fandom) and strong PR juice — and brands in Brazil are increasingly using entertainment tie‑ins to stand out.
We’re seeing two useful trends from the reporting pile: Netflix and Hollywood IPs now accept creative brand tie‑ins (see the U.S. Bank x Happy Gilmore 2 example mentioned in industry coverage), and streaming ecosystems are splintering — regional players are launching aggressive local content and promos (Reliance’s moves in India illustrate how streaming platforms and conglomerates diversify into new audience plays; see Businesstoday coverage). Translation: brands want closer, more authentic connections with shows and audiences, but they often partner via production companies, ad agencies or local platforms rather than only through Netflix’s central marketing team.
This guide is a practical, street‑smart playbook for UK creators: how to locate the right Brazilian brands on Netflix projects, how to craft a pitch that doesn’t sound like spam, what deliverables to offer, how to price and measure, plus a sample outreach script in Portuguese and English. You’ll get step‑by‑step moves so you sound less like a cold email and more like a partner who adds value.
📊 Data Snapshot: Outreach Channels vs Reach
| 🧩 Metric | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Monthly Active (approx.) | 18.000.000 | 25.000.000 | 30.000.000 |
| 📈 Conversion (estimated pilot) | 3–6% | 4–8% | 6–12% |
| 🤝 Typical Gatekeeper | Production company / Brand partnerships | Broadcaster marketing team | Talent manager / Creator agency |
| 💸 Typical pilot budget (GBP) | £5k–£25k | £3k–£20k | £500–£5k |
| ⏱️ Time to decision | 4–12 weeks | 2–8 weeks | 48 hours–2 weeks |
The table compares three outreach options: A) targeting brands via Netflix show tie‑ins (often routed through production companies and brand partnership teams); B) working with local broadcasters/streamers and their marketing arms; and C) social‑first activations where creators directly pitch brands. Numbers are illustrative estimates to show relative scale and decision speed — use them as a planning baseline, not gospel. The key takeaway: Netflix tie‑ins can reach big audiences but move slower and cost more; social activations are faster and cheaper and often deliver stronger short‑term conversions for direct response campaigns.

Hi, I’m MaTitie — the author of this post, a bloke who’s tested a silly number of streaming promos, pitch templates and VPNs. I’ve seen brands bite on creator-led tie‑ins and also seen campaigns flame out because the pitch was tone‑deaf.
Let’s be real — access and privacy matter when you’re doing cross‑border research or watching regional releases. If you want to check regional promos or extras that are geo‑restricted, a VPN saves time and headaches.
If you’re looking for speed, privacy and reliable streaming access — skip the guesswork.

💡 How the Netflix-brand play actually works (step‑by‑step)
1) Map the show → map the decision makers
– A lot of brand tie‑ins don’t go through Netflix global HQ. They’re often negotiated with the production company, the film/series’ marketing team, or the distributor. The U.S. Bank x Happy Gilmore 2 promo shows that studios or IP owners (Happy Madison in that case) often bring brand partners into the creative fold — ADWEEK covered the approach Michael Lacorazza described. So: identify the production company and the show’s publicity contacts first.
2) Spot relevant Brazilian brands and their local agencies
– Look for brands that have history sponsoring entertainment, or those recently diversifying into streaming/tech categories. Brazilian conglomerates and big consumer brands are more likely to spend on entertainment tie‑ins around big premieres, football moments or Carnaval. Use press releases, LinkedIn and local trade press (marketing and adland outlets) to identify who’s been active.
3) Craft the sort of pitch that gets a yes
– Don’t sell “followers”. Sell a concrete, show‑linked idea: e.g., “Co‑branded 30‑sec scene wraparound for ep3 + two‑week IG Reel campaign with 3 creator ambassadors in Brazil + measurable landing page with UTM.” Add creative visuals and a simple measurement plan (views, link clicks, conversion actions).
4) Offer a pilot, not a manifesto
– Brands are risk‑averse for unfamiliar creators. Offer a low‑risk pilot: short video, measurable CTA, and a 2–3 week promotion window timed to the show’s premiere or a key episode. If it performs, the brand can scale.
5) Localise the approach — language, music, culture
– Pitch in Portuguese or provide a translated one‑pager. Use Brazil‑specific cultural hooks (football, local festivals, music scenes). Authenticity matters and local agencies will favour partners who “get it”.
6) Leverage local partners for credibility
– If you’re UK‑based, propose a co‑managed campaign with a Brazilian creator or agency. Local partners cut friction and reassure brands about compliance and localisation.
7) Measurement and reporting — be transparent
– Offer clearly tracked KPIs: view-through rate, click-through rate, landing page conversions, promo code redemptions. Provide a clean shared dashboard and a short final report with learnings.
📢 Practical outreach script — two versions (Portuguese + English)
Use these as templates. Short, polite, and to the point.
Portuguese (short version — send to local marketing or agency):
Olá [Nome],
Sou [Your Name], criador (UK) com experiência em campanhas para lançamentos de streaming. Tenho uma ideia de co‑promo ligada a [Show Name] que liga o universo da série ao produto de vocês através de um clipe co‑brand+3 Reels com criadores locais. Posso enviar um moodboard e métricas de campanha? Gratidão, [Your Name] / [contact]
English (for production companies or global brand teams):
Hi [Name],
I’m [Your Name], a UK creator with a track record of cultural tie‑in activations. I’ve got a short proposal for a co‑branded scene wrap + social burst timed to [Show Name]’s release. It’s low cost, measurable, and designed to amplify the show while driving direct brand response in Brazil. Can I share a one‑page and example deliverables? Best, [Your Name] / [contact]
Tip: attach a one‑page PDF with a visual mockup, estimated reach, cost bands and a 2‑line legal/permissions note. That last bit removes a lot of hesitation.
📊 Pricing cheat sheet and what to expect
- Micro pilot (single short clip + 1 creator + 1 week): £500–£2,000
- Small integrated pilot (scene concept + 2–3 creators + paid social boost): £2,500–£8,000
- Full co‑promo (licensed clip, bespoke creative, multi‑platform push): £8,000–£25,000+
Why the variance? Licensing or use of IP (clip segments or logo usage) increases cost, and if you need to work with production companies to clear rights, budgets go up. The Happy Gilmore x U.S. Bank tie‑in shows that when IP owners want authenticity they bring in partners who know the IP well — which commands higher fees (as reported in industry pieces).
🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How do I know if a Netflix show accepts brand tie‑ins?
💬 Most brand tie‑ins are arranged by the production company or distributor rather than Netflix itself. Research the show credits, find the production company, and approach their marketing or sales contact. Local press announcements often mention brand partners for big shows.
🛠️ Can I pitch directly to Brazilian brands without local partners?
💬 Yes, but it’s smarter to either (a) pitch with a local creator co‑host, or (b) include a local agency in the plan. Brands prefer proof of local cultural fit and compliance. A joint pitch reduces friction and speeds approvals.
🧠 What’s the single best way to stand out when pitching?
💬 Bring a testable creative idea tied to a measurable KPI and a clear timeline synced to the show’s release window. A slick mockup + metrics beats a generic “let’s collaborate” email every time.
🧩 Final Thoughts…
Reaching Brazilian brands via Netflix‑linked promotions is doable for UK creators — but it requires research, local sensitivity and an understanding of who actually signs off on brand integrations (often the production company or agency, not a central streamer contact). Use pilots, keep the offer measurable, and bundle in a local creator or partner to sell authenticity.
Two quick reminders: (1) timing is everything — synchronise with release dates or big cultural moments; (2) don’t underestimate legal/rights costs — make sure any use of scenes or IP is cleared before you promise it to a brand.
