Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?
My name is George Greenhalgh and I am an under 23 road cyclist from North Manchester, England. This year has been my first year as a ‘senior', and also my first year living and racing abroad as a full time cyclist. Today, I return to the UK following my 7 months abroad and I am looking support for 2019 to help me succeed in my sporting career.
Last year as a Junior I raced in the UK and Europe at the highest level, leading to several podium results and countless top 10's. This year I secured a contract with Elite Belgian team 'WSC Hand In Hand Baal’ and I have recently renewed this contract for another year. They will continue to provide me with all the kit, as well as the opportunity to race in the biggest races around. Following a successful season I am confident I will see continued success, and will develop into the professional cyclist I dream to become.
Unfortunately - due to the nature of the sport and lack of wage laws - I do not yet get paid. I therefore fund living in Belgium during summer by working as much as I can over winter around my training. As I discovered this year, 5 months work can not fund 12 months of accommodation, food, travel, and equipment. Next season I will need to fund all of this again, something I simply cannot do without the help of others. You can probably now understand why cycling is considered an elitist sport, and see why so many potential athletes have their dreams shattered when they cannot secure the support they need.
If you were to support me you'd be making my dream a reality. In return I would be able to help promote your business. Through social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as well as my own personal website, thousands of my followers from all over the country (both old and young) would see your name supporting me. I generally post weekly about my results on top of other content, and you would be getting exposure every time. These are posts that will actually connect with potential customers as opposed to ads that are skipped elsewhere. As well as online presence, I can offer advertising on a physical level through personalised clothing and car stickers for example. Many other people across the country (and Europe) who don't follow me would also see this.
