💡 Quick real talk — why this matters to you
If you’re a Zimbabwe creator making beauty vids on Moj and want to work with Irish brands, you’re not crazy — Irish beauty labels (and many UK-adjacent ones) are hungry for fresh creators with authentic stories. The Viral Festive Beauty Box items (like Color Wow dry shampoo, UKLash serum, Nature Spell rosemary oil) keep trending on social platforms — brands love creators who can show real use, honest reactions, and local flavour.
But here’s the snag: Irish brands often discover creators through local trends, UK/IE PR partners, or platform-specific signals. That means you’ve got to be strategic: show reach, show intent, and make outreach frictionless. I’m writing this for Zimbabwe creators who want a no-fluff plan — from discovery to pitch, to closing the ambassadorship.
This guide gives street-smart, actionable steps: how to find Irish beauty brands on Moj, craft pitches that convert, what metrics to use, pricing sanity checks, and how to protect yourself when working internationally. I’ll also drop outreach templates, a data snapshot comparison for platform strategy, and three FAQs readers DM me all the time.
📊 Who to target and how they behave (data snapshot)
| 🧩 Metric | Irish indie brands | UK brands with IE reach | Global prestige brands |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Monthly Active (Moj reach in IE/UK) | 120.000 | 600.000 | 1.200.000 |
| 📈 Typical conversion from trial collab | 6% | 12% | 9% |
| 💰 Avg budget per micro-campaign | €0–€150 (gifts common) | €150–€800 | €800+ |
| ⏱️ Typical review-to-deal time | 2–6 weeks | 1–4 weeks | 1–2 weeks |
The table shows Irish indie brands often work with gifted posts and slower processes; UK brands operating in Ireland pay more reliably and convert better; global prestige brands demand strong metrics but offer higher pay. For Zimbabwe creators, targeting UK-IE cross-border brands gives the best balance of reach and pay.

💡 How to find Irish beauty brands on Moj — step-by-step
- Start with trend ingredients: search Moj for product names you know are popular (Color Wow, UKLash, Nature Spell). Brands and resellers often use the same tags or sounds.
- Use region filters and language cues: look for creators posting from Ireland (mentions, place tags, or accents). If Moj shows UK/IE-only promos, note the handles and PR contacts.
- Follow PR agencies and retail partners: many Irish beauty brands work with UK PR or ecommerce partners. Watch for product boxes (like the Viral Festive Beauty Box) — those supplier lists reveal PR chains.
- Use BaoLiba to spot campaign trends: BaoLiba’s regional rankings show which creators are getting traction with Irish/UK brands — a quick way to identify brand-friendly formats.
- Track seasonal spikes: Irish brands lean into Black Friday and festive boxes — time your outreach 3–6 weeks before these sales (see SocialSamosa insights on festive timing).
📣 Outreach playbook — how to pitch so they answer
Make it quick, local, and outcome-driven. A sample DM/email structure:
– One-line hook: who you are + a relevant stat (followers / avg views in 7 days).
– Proof: link to a 15–30s Moj clip showing the product category (dry shampoo, lash serum, hair oil).
– Offer: exact deliverables (1 x 30s demo, 2 x 15s cutdowns, 1 IG reel) and timeline.
– CTA: ask for next steps and budget range.
Sample opener:
“Hi [Brand name], I’m [Your Name] — Zimbabwe creator (35k Moj followers, avg 18k views/clip). I run hair & quick-glam demos that convert. I made a 20s demo of a dry-shampoo routine that performs well — can I send it over for collab ideas and budget?”
Why this works: Irish/UK brands want clarity and speed. Give them one quick win to say yes.
🔢 Pricing sanity (what to charge)
- Nano (1–10k): gifts or €20–€70 per post.
- Micro (10–50k): €70–€300 per campaign.
- Mid (50–200k): €300–€1.200.
Always ask for product coverage plus a small fee for exclusive use. If you can show past conversion (sales via affiliate link or trackable codes), you can push fees higher.
⚖️ Contracts, payments, and protections
- Always get scope, usage rights, timelines, and payment terms in writing.
- Prefer PayPal, Wise, or direct bank transfer. For small brands, gift + 50% upfront is fair. For bigger deals insist on a written invoice.
- If a brand asks for exclusivity, demand higher pay or clear time limits.
💬 Content formats Irish brands love on Moj
- Honest tutorials (30–60s) showing product in real conditions.
- Before/after quick cuts for hair and lashes.
- “Tested in humid weather” or “All-day wear” — local context sells.
- Unboxing for festive boxes (the Viral Festive Beauty Box format works well).
💡 Local voice matters — what Irish brands notice
Brands are buying authenticity and cultural fit. If you can localise a demo (e.g., “works with hard water” or “quick school-run glam”), you stand out. Also, show how you’d adapt a product for Zimbabwe audiences — brands expanding markets value creators who bridge geographies.
🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How long before brands reply?
💬 Responses vary — indie brands can take 2–6 weeks; larger agencies 1–2 weeks. Follow-up politely after 10 days.
🛠️ Can I reuse a single Moj clip across platforms?
💬 Yes, but clarify reuse and licensing in the contract. Brands often pay extra for perpetual usage across ads.
🧠 Should I build Irish-specific content or adapt existing clips?
💬 Adapt existing high-performing clips first — faster wins. Then create one bespoke Irish-market clip to impress the brand team.
🧩 Final Thoughts…
You don’t need an Irish postcode to become an ambassador for their beauty brands. Do the legwork: discover brands on Moj with trend-led searches, pitch with outcome-focused offers, price sensibly, and protect yourself with simple contracts. Start by targeting UK brands with Irish reach — they convert better and are more open to cross-border creators. Keep your reels honest, show the product working on real hair/skin, and let results do the talking.
