NEW – Using Zest to discover creators

Zest is Passionfroot’s AI agent for creator discovery and campaign creation.

Zest guides you through the entire process - from defining your campaign strategy to sourcing creators and starting outreach - all in one workflow.

Zest is especially helpful when you:

  • Want to discover creators faster without manually applying filters

  • Are running B2B or technical campaigns (ex: LinkedIn, newsletters, YouTube)

  • Need help translating a campaign goal into the right creator mix

Zest is the primary interface for campaign creation and creator discovery. You can still use Discover at any time for manual control.

To start using Zest:

  1. Open your workspace.

  2. Go to your Home page or click on Zest in the left navigation.

  3. Start typing, for example a short description of your campaign (“Looking for LinkedIn creators speaking to product leaders in B2B SaaS”).

Zest will analyze your input and return a suggested campaign, with curated list of relevant creators based on your context.

Use the Discovery Tab:

You can also use the Discovery tab, that enables you to discover, evaluate, book, and collaborate with creators to promote your product - all from one workspace. All creators you see in Discovery run their business on Passionfroot - so you can skip cold DMs and get direct access to them - fast.


Creator Search

NEW – Discovering creators with Zest

Zest starts with campaign context to guide creator discovery, and also lets you search for specific creators or topics to reach your target audience.

When using Zest, you’re prompted for a few key inputs, such as:

  • Ideal customer profile (ICP)

  • Campaign objective (ex: awareness, engagement, product adoption)

  • Budget and preferred platforms

Based on this information, Zest:

  • Surfaces relevant creators in real time

  • Prioritizes creators with known collaboration history

  • Continuously refines results as your inputs evolve

Zest can operate with partial information and prompts you for missing context to improve accuracy.

If you’re unsure of what you’re looking for - try ZEST!

Search Assistant

You can also go to the Discovery Tab and use our Search Assistant:

Our Search Assistant helps you pick the right channels and topics to meet your campaign goals. You can access it anytime from the search bar to find the best creators!

Filters

NEW - Use prompts to refine your search

Zest allows you to refine creator discovery using natural prompts.

When you describe the creators or audience you’re looking for, Zest:

  • Interprets your request as targeting and ranking signals

  • Looks for signals across platform, audience, demographics, and location

  • Adjusts creator relevance automatically

  • Updates recommendations to match complex or multi-platform campaign needs

This keeps discovery aligned with your campaign context as it evolves.

You can refine creator results in Zest within an existing chat:

Continue the conversation and describe what you want to adjust, such as:

  • “Focus on LinkedIn creators”

  • “Find newsletter creators reaching 20-35 years old writers in Europe”

  • “Looking for creators with a developer audience in North America”

Zest will use available platform, audience, demographic, and location signals to surface creators that match your needs and update results in real time.

You can also use Search Filters in the Discovery tab:

If you want to narrow down your creator search even more you can use our powerful filters by going to the Discovery tab, hitting the ‘add filter’ button. Narrow down by specific platform audience and performance metrics - or demographics across platforms.

Browsing creators

Once creators are surfaced, you can browse and review them in the Discovery tab. On the left you’ll see an AI Description of the creator, their content, and audience so you can quickly tell if they’re a match.

If data is important to you, you can easily scan and compare creators by platform stats such as subscriber count, open rate, or engagement rate. To control what channels you’re interested in - simply change the channel filter in the search bar.

NEW – Creator recommendations and similarity matching with Zest

Zest can recommend creators based on your campaign context and past performance data.

Zest recommends creators using signals such as:

  • Your campaign goal and ideal customer profile (ICP)

  • Creators you’ve worked with before

  • Past successful campaigns on Passionfroot

Similarity matching is most accurate for vetted Passionfroot creators, where richer data is available, including:

  • Previous brand collaborations

  • Pricing and response behavior

  • Platform and audience signals

To get creator recommendations with Zest:

  1. At the start of a new chat, click Discover creators under Quick Prompts, or

  2. Type a request directly in the chat, such as:

    “Recommend creators similar to the ones I’ve worked with” or

    “Suggest creators for a campaign targeting product leaders.”

Zest will analyze your input and return creator recommendations aligned with your campaign context.

Match Score

image

Our Match Score uses AI to scan the creator’s profile and content based on your search query to instantly show how relevant they are for the topic or audience you’re trying to reach. Any score above a 50 is relevant, but the strongest matches are above 70! We recommend that you check out all creators above 50.


Creator Profile

Click on a creator to see their profile in the side view. Here we summarize everything you need to know about them including their match score, description, channels, recent content, performance, audience, products, previous sponsors, and rates.

If you prefer to view the creator’s personalized media-kit you can flip to the Storefront tab to get even more detailed information created by the creator themself. Here you’ll find product previews, sponsorship examples, and other personal stats.

Live stats

We're building out an encompassing stats API to verify creator stats for you. If a creater has verified their stats via our API - you'll see a blue checkmark on those. Stats without blue checkmarks are self-reported. If you want to verify those, simply ask the creator for a screenshot of their stats dashboard 😊

Book

If the creator is a good fit for your brand, connect directly with them on Passionfroot - no more cold DMs. There are two ways to connect:

image

Book a product: Creators have certain pre-fixed products on each of their channels that they offer more regularly. For example, if you know you want a Main Ad in a Newsletter or a Pre-roll Ad in a Podcast - you can book a date directly!

Send an Inquiry: If you’re not sure what to book, or want a custom package use the ‘Get in touch’ button. We recommend you include your goals, why you want to work with them, and info about your product so they can better serve you.

Collaborate

Once you’ve sent a request - the creator will review it and revert back with a proposal or message. Passionfroot streamlines your collaborations from request, negotiations, creative assets, to payments - saving you headspace when running lots of collabs. Here’s how it works:

That’s it! Looking forward to helping you grow. 😊
