What is Zest?

Zest is Passionfroot’s AI agent for creator marketing.

It helps you plan campaigns, find relevant creators, curate collaborations, send outreach, and understand performance - all in one unified workflow.

Whether you’re launching your very first creator campaign or are an expert who wants to, Zest adapts to your level and helps you move faster with confidence.

Zest is trained on thousands of creator campaigns and the playbooks of top marketing teams, so its recommendations are grounded in real-world results - not guesswork.

  • Instead of switching between tools to plan, discover, contact creators, and analyze outcomes, Zest acts as your AI teammate across the entire journey, from early campaign thinking to execution and reporting.

When should you use Zest?

Zest is especially helpful when you:

  • Want help translating campaign goals into the right creator mix

  • Want to reach creators both inside and outside of Passionfroot

  • Are planning multi-platform activations (LinkedIn, newsletters, YouTube, etc.)

  • Need recommendations aligned with a specific ICP or industry

  • Need help planning budgets and spend allocation across creators

  • Want to run personalized outreach at scale, including proposals and pricing estimates

  • Want fast reporting and insights, such as one-click reports by month or campaign

  • Want guidance on what to do next

Zest supports the entire end-to-end journey.

As you refine your goals and take action, it updates recommendations in real time - so planning, outreach, execution, and reporting feel dynamic instead of spreadsheet-driven.

What can Zest help you do?

Zest supports every major stage of your creator marketing workflow:

1 - Campaign Strategy & Setup

You can use Zest from the very start to shape your campaign, turning ideas into a shortlist of relevant creators based on your goals.

Zest will suggest:

  • Budget and media plan

  • The right platforms and content formats

  • Clear positioning for your campaign description

  • Categories and creator profiles to focus on

This helps you create strong campaigns before publishing or starting outreach.

2 - Creator Discovery

Zest uses your campaign context to guide discovery, while also letting 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 also recommend creators based on:

  • Your past campaigns

  • Similar creators you’ve worked with

  • Specific Platforms and audiences

3 - Outreach - Internal & External Creators

3A - Reach out to:

  • Creators already on Passionfroot

  • External creators not yet on the platform

From the chat, describe the type of creator you want to contact and Zest will generate a personalized outreach proposal for each creator directly inside Passionfroot.

You can edit and fine-tune every proposal to match your team’s tone and campaign goals before sending - while also reviewing pricing estimates and submitting proposals in the same flow.

3B - Not ready to reach out yet? Save creators and contact them later

Not ready to contact creators yet? Save them to a campaign and run outreach later from the Collaboration view.

There, you can send bulk proposals, start multiple conversations at once, review pricing, and track deal progress - all in one place.

4 - Campaign Reporting & Insights

You can ask Zest how your campaign is performing at any time.

Zest can generate reports across your collaborations, including:

  • One-click reports by month, campaign, quarter, or year

  • Spend and remaining budget

  • CPM, CPC, and estimated reach

  • Number of live, completed, and pending collaborations

  • Posts published and content formats

  • Performance by creator or platform

  • Audience reach and engagement signals

  • Delivery status vs. campaign goals

  • Historical comparisons across similar campaigns

This removes the need to manually compile data across tools.

Where does Zest fit in the Passionfroot journey?

Zest is used across all major stages:

  • Finding creators

  • Planning campaigns

  • Booking creators

  • Reviewing performancejen
