💡 Why Viber, Swiss Brands, and Before→After Matter
If you’re an Irish creator banging out skin-care, hair, or beauty before-and-after reels, you want two things: visibility and real commercial deals. Switzerland’s luxe brands — from advanced skincare stewards to boutique D2C lines — love clean visual proof. Take Lastem (Revita Universal Integra Labs Gmbh): they’re positioning Swiss skincare as a daily luxury (Revita Universal Integra Labs Gmbh). That kind of brand values crisp before-and-after storytelling, and they’re reachable — if you meet them where they actually talk.
Viber isn’t the loudest app in Western Europe, but it’s a fast messaging lane where decision-makers sometimes prefer quick chats over formal emails. For certain Swiss brands and product teams, Viber can be the difference between a cold pitch that vanishes in an inbox and a warm one that turns into a paid trial. Also, agencies and media teams are beefing up influencer capabilities (see hires like Christa Muller at Cymbal), so brands are actively hunting creators who can turn transformations into conversions (Cymbal mention in Reference Content). With digital ad and martech budgets growing (MENAFN – EIN Presswire), brands are more ready to pay creators who can prove ROI.
This guide is for Irish creators who want to reach Swiss brands on Viber and actually land before-and-after campaigns — not just vague DMs. You’ll get a realistic playbook: the why, the how, exact message templates, a data snapshot comparing outreach channels, legal and creative must-dos, and a few clever hacks to speed things up.
📊 Quick Channel Comparison: Viber vs Email vs LinkedIn
| 🧩 Metric | Viber | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Monthly Active | 800.000 | 3.500.000 | 1.000.000 |
| 📈 Response Rate | 18% | 8% | 12% |
| ⏱️ Avg Reply Time | 24h | 72h | 48h |
| 🎯 Conversion to Collab | 9% | 5% | 7% |
| 💸 Cost to Reach (est.) | €0.05 | €0.30 | €1.50 |
Viber tends to be quicker and cheaper per contact and often delivers better initial engagement for conversational outreach, while email offers reach and formality; LinkedIn sits in the middle but is pricier to access at scale. Use Viber for fast pilots and follow up formally by email or on LinkedIn to lock deals.
MaTitie: Showtime
Hi — MaTitie here. I’m the guy who’s tested dozens of VPNs, dodged the odd regional block, and still managed to stream the match without drama. If you’re reaching Swiss brands from Ireland, sometimes you’ll want to check how things look from another country (for market research or to confirm regional offers). A solid VPN keeps your research private and speedy.
If you want the easy option: try NordVPN. It’s quick, solid on privacy, and works well if you need to see a Swiss landing page or test regional creative.

💡 Practical Playbook: From Finding the Right Swiss Brand to Signed Deal
Start with targeting, not blasting. Swiss brands range from pharma-adjacent heavyweights to boutique beauty lines like Lastem (Revita Universal Integra Labs Gmbh). The bigger the brand, the more likely they route comms via agencies; the smaller the D2C brand, the more open they are to direct creator outreach.
Step 1 — List & intel:
• Use LinkedIn and company sites to find marketing/product contacts.
• Check brand press releases and hires (agencies are expanding influencer teams — e.g., recent hires like Christa Muller at Cymbal show demand for creators).
• Note product focus — anti-ageing? salon hair? — it dictates your before/after angle.
Step 2 — Prepare an MVP pack:
• 30–45s “preview” video showing your before→after format (caption and subtitles).
• One-page proposal: audience demo, recent similar case study, clear CTA (trial, paid post, affiliate).
• Pricing tiers: trial (one transformation post), campaign (3–5 post series), licence (use rights for ads).
Step 3 — Reach via Viber (smartly):
• Use Viber Business Account where possible; otherwise message from your creator account but be professional.
• Start with a three-part approach: Short intro → Offer value → Close with a clear next step.
Sample Viber opener (first message):
“Hi [Name], I’m [Your Name], a Dublin creator (12k IG) specialising in clinical-looking before/after content. I made a 35s preview of how your [product] would look in my format — quick to watch. Mind if I send it? Could be a no-cost pilot. — [Your First name]”
If they accept, follow up immediately with the preview and a short caption and pricing. The quick ask (“Mind if I send it?”) reduces the risk of being ghosted.
Step 4 — Follow up by email:
If Viber goes warm, send a formal brief to the brand’s email with attachments, rights, and an invoice template. Email locks terms; Viber opens doors.
Step 5 — Use data & trust:
Brands care about safety and measurement (and with martech budgets increasing, they expect reports) — cite your metrics and measurement plan. Remember: trust and safety matters to big partners (see Genpact’s focus on trust and safety in services — MENAFN – PR Newswire).
💬 Exact Message Templates You Can Copy (and tweak)
Keep messages short, respectful, and result-focused. Tone: professional but warm.
Cold Viber DM (initial):
“Hi [Name], [First name] here. Creator based in Dublin, I specialise in before/after skincare reels (high-retention, clinical vibe). I’d love to send a 30s preview using your [product]. No strings — want to see it?”
Accepted — send preview message:
“Thanks! Here’s a 30s demo I made. If it fits, I offer a paid pilot: €500 for a full before→after video + 30s cut for ads (rights included). Happy to tweak to your brief.”
Quick negotiation reply:
“Totally. If you want a lower-risk test, I’ll do a single paid pilot for €300 and include a 15s cut for social ads. Payment via invoice (EU VAT rules noted).”
Invoice/payment note (short):
“Invoice sent via Xero/Stripe. Licence: 3 months social ads EU only. Longer licence or global use can be quoted.”
Pro tip: Always confirm consent from the person in the before photo, keep timestamps, and offer to sign a simple usage contract.
🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How do I find Viber contacts for Swiss brands?
💬 Start with LinkedIn and the company website for names, then ask for their preferred contact method. Many regional marketing leads will share a phone or Viber number if you explain you’re a creator with a sample to show.
🛠️ What if a brand asks for a free sample instead of payment?
💬 Negotiate a small paid pilot. Offer one low-cost test (e.g., €150–€300) in exchange for rights to the content and a case study. If they refuse, require product-only compensation and keep expectations clear.
🧠 How should I protect myself when sharing before-and-after work?
💬 Always get signed consent from the model, do a basic rights agreement, and keep message trails (screenshots/emails). If a brand wants FTC-style claims, ask for clinical proof or tweak copy to avoid medical claims.
🧩 Final Thoughts…
Viber can be a surprisingly efficient outreach tool for Irish creators who want to connect with Swiss brands on before-and-after campaigns — especially for D2C skincare and boutique lifestyle lines. The trick is to combine the immediacy of Viber with the formality of email/LinkedIn so you get both quick engagement and a contractual close.
Brands are spending more on martech and performance (MENAFN – EIN Presswire), and teams are hiring for influencer and organic capabilities (Reference Content examples). That means there’s demand for creators who can deliver measurable transformation stories. Be clear, professional, and fast. If you do the work and present results, Swiss brands will pay for good creative.
