JOB OVERVIEW

Creator Research Specialist : ( YouTube, lifestyle, Gaming, Brand, community, Influencer) for Plush Merchandise

We are a company specializing in custom plush toy production, working with creators, brands, games, and online communities worldwide.

We are looking for someone who can research and find strong creators and communities for potential plush collaborations.


========================================
ROLE OVERVIEW
========================================

Your job is to find creators, brands, games, and online communities that could realistically become successful plush products.

This is NOT just about finding large creators.

We are specifically looking for creators with:

- Recognizable mascots, avatars, characters, creatures, memes, or other visual identities
- Strong and active communities
- Clear potential for a plush product
- Enough audience and buying potential for a successful product

The most important question is:

“Would fans realistically buy this as a plush product?”

A good lead MUST meet these requirements:

1. The creator must be ACTIVE
No dead channels, abandoned accounts, or creators with long upload breaks.

2. The creator/community must have enough buying potential
The audience should be large and engaged enough that selling 200+ plush units is realistically possible.

3. The creator should NOT already sell plush merchandise
We are specifically looking for creators who currently do not already sell plush products.

4. There must be a strong plush concept
The creator must have at least one of the following:
- Mascot
- Avatar
- Inside joke
- Character
- Meme
- Creature
- Recognizable visual identity

And it must be something that could realistically be turned into a strong and appealing plush product.

We are NOT looking for:
- Generic influencers with no recognizable visual identity
- Inactive creators
- Tiny communities with no buying potential
- Random gaming creators with no mascot/character potential


========================================
RESPONSIBILITIES
========================================

- Research creators, brands, games, and communities
- Find strong plush collaboration opportunities
-Identifying the specific mascot, character, avatar, meme, creature, or visual identity that could become a plush
- Evaluating whether the community has realistic potential to buy the product
- Collect contact details/socials
- Organizing your research and findings clearly


========================================
REQUIREMENTS
========================================

- Good internet research skills
- Understanding of online communities and creator culture
- An understanding of YouTube, gaming, and content creators
- Attention to detail
- Good English communication skills
-The ability to recognize opportunities beyond simple follower counts


========================================
WORK DETAILS
========================================

- 4 hours per day
- Flexible schedule


========================================
HOW TO APPLY
========================================

Please include:

1. Short introduction
2. Relevant experience
3. Contact information (email etc.)

IMPORTANT:
Please include 3 SAMPLE LEADS you personally researched.

For EACH sample lead include:

- Who they are

- WHY fans would likely buy it
- WHY the community is a strong fit

Weak answers:
“Big creator”, “gaming audience”, “popular community”
