Marketing for Athletes
At OpenSponsorship, our vision is to make sports sponsorship easier for everyone. We know that athletes, teams and events rely on sports sponsorship to keep the lights on and the wheels turning, so it’s so important to have smarter and easier access to the brands that would make for great sponsorship partners.
How it Works
for Athletes, Teams & Events
Sign Up
Easily create an account as an 'Athlete, Team or Event' to start unlocking sponsorship opportunities. Brands are continuously looking for new sponsorship opportunities and brand ambassadors.
Create a Profile
Complete your profile to attract as many brands as possible. Include all your social media handles - we use this in our pricing and matching algorithms. If you do not have any social media accounts our admin will need to verify you. This usually takes a few hours once you submit a request.
- Athletes: Mention your interests, write a strong description to make you stand out.
- Teams/Events: Include the product categories that are open for sponsorship, and numbers relating to viewership, audience or participation.
Apply to Campaigns
Once you complete your profile, head over to the brand campaigns (from the left menu). Check out what the brands on OpenSponsorship are looking for in partners and what they are offering. Apply to those of interest, adding a customized pitch, price and answers to their questions.
You may also be invited to the campaign by the brand.
We have a fit algorithm that can help guide you on the best campaigns to apply to.
Accept Proposals
If selected for the campaign, the brand will send you a Proposal. Hopefully it's what you were looking for, and you Accept. You can also reject this or message the brand for more clarifications or adjustments.
Keeping all communication on the platform ensures that our team can step in and help at any point.
Gain points
We track your activity on the platform including number of applications, response rate and brand feedback. We use this rank to make Athlete Suggestions to brands, as well as offer you other benefits. So keep engaged with our platform, and keep the brands you work with happy.
