💡 Why Netherlands brands on ShareChat? (and why you should care)
If you’re a creator in Harare, Bulawayo or Mutare asking “how do I snag Netherlands brands on ShareChat?” — nice thinking. Dutch brands want fresh regional audience signals, multicultural UGC, and low-cost creator experiments. ShareChat isn’t the first platform European marketers think of for Dutch reach, but creators who package locality + creativity can sell value: niche audience tests, English/English+local-language cuts, and low-risk pilot videos.
Two things to remember from real-world signals: platforms are pushing creator collaboration tools and AI to scale ad performance (see Meta’s recent AI ad tools reported by afaqs), and brands increasingly reuse authentic UGC in outdoor/digital mixes — Snapchat’s Copenhagen campaign shows how local, everyday snaps become broader brand assets (reference: Snapchat campaign notes). Use those trends: offer Dutch brands low-cost authentic content they can reuse across formats, and show traction with measurable metrics.
This guide walks you through practical outreach scripts, content packs Dutch brands want, platform tactics specific to ShareChat, local forecasting, and a tiny shameless plug for the tool that helps creators get discovered (you know the one).
📊 Snapshot: Platform & Market comparison (quick numbers)
| 🧩 Metric | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Monthly Active | 1.200.000 | 800.000 | 1.000.000 |
| 📈 Avg Engagement | 6.5% | 4.2% | 5.0% |
| 💸 Avg CPM (USD) | $2.50 | $1.80 | $3.20 |
| 🎯 Localisation Ease | High | Medium | Low |
| 🔁 Reuse Rate (brand assets) | 60% | 45% | 30% |
The table compares three outreach options: Option A (targeted cross-border campaigns), Option B (organic partnership outreach), and Option C (paid ads + agency buy). Standout takeaways: targeted creator pilots (A) offer higher engagement and reuse for brands at mid CPMs, organic outreach (B) costs less but converts slower, while full paid/agency routes (C) give scale but demand higher budgets and localisation work.
📢 Quick tactical blueprint — step-by-step
1) Package, don’t just DM. Create a 1-page “Netherlands-ready” creator pack: short demo reel, 2 clean captions (EN + simple NL line), reuse rights, and three KPI asks (views, clicks, store visits or site events).
2) Use platform signals: many European teams now rely on creator collaboration features and AI-assisted ad tools (source: afaqs). Say you can deliver creatives optimised for Advantage-like AI workflows — that sounds useful to a brand manager.
3) Localise smart: Dutch audiences like authenticity with polish. Take cues from Snapchat’s Copenhagen UGC campaign — real daily snaps in local contexts scaled to bigger ad placements. Offer “authentic slice-of-life” shorts that can be repurposed into vertical ads.
4) Outreach list: target mid-market Dutch brands (lifestyle, DTC food, sustainable goods). Use LinkedIn to find brand or influencer managers, and pitch via email + ShareChat message — lead with a one-line value prop and attach your pack.
5) Pilot offer: cheap, measurable trial — 3 videos + 7-day boost in targeted Dutch interest clusters (set UTM tags). Promise a quick report and two asset variants for retargeting.
6) Proof & reporting: send clean metrics screenshots (views, CTR, saves), and bundle a 30‑60s clip report. Brands respond to simple numbers, not long essays.
💡 Outreach message templates (use them, tweak them)
- Short cold DM (ShareChat/LinkedIn): “Hi [Name], I’m [Your Name], creator from Zimbabwe. I make short UGC that drives engagement. I’ve packaged 3 Netherlands-ready shorts + captions — can I send a 30s sample? — [link to pack]”
- Email subject: “3 low-cost UGC videos for [brand] — test for €300”
- Follow-up (if no reply in 7 days): “Quick follow — I can send one sample tailored to your last campaign in 48h.”
Keep language warm and genuinely humble. Dutch teams appreciate directness and data.

💡 Deeper: Content types Dutch brands actually reuse
- Raw UGC verticals: 10–20s product moments, daily routines.
- Story-style sequences: 3–6 clips that can be stitched for longer ads.
- Local-reaction cuts: short captions in English + one Dutch line.
Brands like to repurpose honest moments into bigger campaigns (seen in Snapchat’s outdoor push from Copenhagen — local snaps turned global). Offer clear reuse rights and a simple price list for exclusivity.
📈 Trend forecast & why now (2025 perspective)
- Brands are doubling down on creator-first assets and AI tools to optimise ad mixes (see afaqs on Meta’s AI ad suite).
- Outdoor + digital hybrid campaigns are popular — a way to stretch single UGC clips into offline placements (as Snapchat did in Copenhagen).
- Small tests win budgets: a good pilot showing 2–3x engagement uplift gets mid-size brands to scale.
For you: be ready with measurable pilots, and emphasise reuse potential. That’s what moves budgets in 2025.
🙋 Mawere-Mibvunzo (Frequently Asked Questions)
❓ How do I find Netherlands brand contacts?
💬 LinkedIn and company sites first; look for “influencer”, “marketing”, or “partnerships”. Use short, data-led pitches and follow up through ShareChat messages or email.
🛠️ Do Dutch brands expect Dutch-language creators?
💬 No — many want authenticity. A simple Dutch line in captions helps, but strong English + local authenticity often suffices for tests.
🧠 What KPIs should I promise for a pilot?
💬 Pick 2: views and engagement rate or CTR. Keep expectations conservative and promise a clear reporting window (7–14 days).
🧩 Final Thoughts…
You don’t need an EU address to work with Netherlands brands — you need clarity, localised assets, and a testable offer that proves reuse and scale. Package like a partner, price like a vendor, and report like a marketer. Use the trends: AI ad tooling, creator-first campaigns, and UGC reuse — they’re your allies.
