About Aries Merritt — Olympics track and Field athlete

Aries Merritt brings elite Track and Field credibility, Olympic-level recognition, and a strong performance-driven audience rooted in speed, discipline, and competition. His experience and sports-focused content make him a natural fit for brands that want authentic alignment with fitness, performance, and athlete-led storytelling.


Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 Aries is the World Record Holder in 110m Hurdles and the 2012 Olympic Champion. Despite qualifying for the 2013 World Championships, Aries found himself struggling to stay healthy. Upon seeing specialists at the Mayo Clinic, Aries was diagnosed with collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a rare congenital kidney disease, aggravated by a parvovirus that had attacked his kidneys and bone marrow. In 2015, it was decided that a kidney transplant was the best course of action, though Aries decided to wait until after the World Championships in Beijing to have his season-ending surgery. Amazingly, despite having less than 15% kidney function, Aries managed to qualify for the final in Beijing and won the bronze medal. Just four days after his medal-winning run, Aries underwent his transplant, receiving a kidney donated by his sister, Toya. After a break, Aries is back hurdling again and confirmed his fitness with being ranked number 3 in the world in 2017. Aries is a great asset to have given his story. He is great on social media, very easy going and very good at any kind of activations.

Every brand running an influencer campaign on a cost-per-acquisition target eventually asks the same question: how many people will click the link? It decides how many creators you need, and whether your CAC target is realistic before you spend a dollar.

How to Measure Influencer Marketing ROI: A 5-Step Framework

 

How do you measure influencer marketing ROI when half the numbers social media gives you are vanity metrics?

Ingredient Branding Done Right: How Immunotec Made Glutathione Mainstream

Glutathione has become one of the most talked-about molecules in wellness — the “master antioxidant” that shows up in podcasts, longevity conversations, and the supplement aisle alike. But behind that mainstream moment is a brand that has spent decades making glutathione credible: Immunotec. This is the story of how OpenSponsorship helped Immunotec turn that scientific authority into everyday consumer demand — and a real-world example of what ingredient branding looks like when it’s done right.
