About Katherine Keith — Team Baker Kennel dog Sledding athlete
Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?
ABOUT KATHERINE Katherine Keith was born in Minnesota and lived there until completing high school. During her teenage years, her rock climbing interests took her all over the country, including Devils Tower and the Needles in South Dakota, Vedauwoo in Wyoming, as well as other climbing spots in Colorado and Arizona, among other places. She also loved wilderness hiking, which led her to the Pacific Crest Trail in 1998 on a solo quest to hike from the Mexico border to Canada. At 21, Katherine purchased an old ice cream truck, which she drove up to Alaska to learn how to run a dog team. After the devastating loss of her first child and her husband, Katherine pushed to start her life over by enrolling in the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, where she got her pilot’s license, became an EMT, and graduated with an interdisciplinary degree in Renewable Energy Engineering. Katherine also began training for and participating in endurance training pursuits. Six full Ironman Triathlons later, Katherine and her finance John Baker raise and train more than 70 dogs. Katherine began racing dogs herself in 2012 and has since run the Iditarod four times, as well as competing in the 1,000-mile Yukon Quest in 2017. Katherine and John own a few small businesses including Remote Solutions, Team Baker Kennel, and a non-profit, Alaskans Changing Together, which allows them to professionally help meet the needs of rural Alaska. Katherine is a certified Bulletproof and Integrative Nutrition health coach. As an advocate for wellness, she is committed to supporting Alaskans to build capacity through responsible, sustainable development in communities large and small. An endurance sled dog racer and Ironman triathlete, she provides clients with help in establishing, reaching, and exceeding their goals. Professionally, she is an expert facilitator, planner, organizational development leader, and coach. Katherine also is a private pilot, fishes commercially for salmon above the Arctic Circle, while also operating the dog kennel. Katherine currently lives in Kotzebue, Alaska, with her fiancé John and 14-year-old daughter Amelia. A captivating presence, Katherine will actively promote her sponsors. She works as a model for the Duluth Trading Company, regularly speaks at schools as part of her advocacy efforts for her non-profit Alaskans Changing Together, and has been interviewed for Alaskan radio stations covering the Iditarod. She has also been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers, including ESPNW, The New York Times, The Arctic Sounder, and Alaska Dispatch News.

OpenSponsorship Releases World Cup Brand Activation Data as FIFA 2026 Kicks Off
Press Release · New York, NY
The world's largest athlete marketing platform reports 277 million views from soccer creators in the last eight weeks, with 1,552 bookable soccer athletes ready for brand activation across 15+ countries. Clients including Walmart and USA Today are already activating ahead of kickoff.
OpenSponsorship, the world's largest athlete marketing platform backed by Serena Williams and David Blitzer, today released proprietary data showing the scale of the creator opportunity around the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicks off Thursday, June 11th in North America. With brands including Walmart and USA Today already activating soccer creator campaigns through the platform, OpenSponsorship is positioned as the go-to partner for brands looking to win the biggest sports marketing moment of the decade.

The platform's soccer roster has generated 277 million views in the last eight weeks alone, with 276 viral posts clearing 100,000 views across just 86 athletes. OpenSponsorship has 1,552 publicly listed and bookable soccer athletes across 15+ countries, including 893 in the United States, alongside athletes from the UK, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Brazil, France, Nigeria, and more.
Brands that can't sign elite players can still reach their audienceWith 48 nations competing in the largest World Cup in history, brands face a common challenge: the biggest names are either off limits or out of budget. OpenSponsorship's data shows that mid-tier and creator talent routinely out-reaches their follower counts by 50 to 100x — giving brands access to the same passionate fan audiences at a fraction of the cost of global stars.
“The World Cup is the biggest commercial moment in sports marketing history, and the brands that win it will not be the ones who waited for the tournament to start. Our soccer athletes have already generated 277 million views in the last two months. The audience is engaged, the creators are ready, and the window to activate at the best rates closes when kickoff happens.” — Ishveen Jolly, Founder & CEO, OpenSponsorshipWalmart and USA Today: what World Cup activation actually delivers
OpenSponsorship's recent Walmart Soccer Saturday campaign demonstrates what's possible when brands activate the right soccer creators. The campaign — which featured AA9Skillz, Brittany Wilson, Matty Farias, Sean Garnier, and others — generated the following:

engagement — ~2x industry benchmark
USA Today is also activating soccer creator campaigns through OpenSponsorship ahead of the World Cup, leveraging the platform's roster of 1,552 bookable soccer athletes to reach highly engaged audiences across the US, Canada, and Mexico — the three host nations for the 2026 tournament.
“When creators genuinely love a sport and an event, it shows in the content. The Walmart campaign worked because the athletes were authentic soccer fans first and brand partners second. That authenticity is exactly what drives the kind of engagement numbers brands cannot get from traditional advertising.” — Ishveen Jolly, Founder & CEO, OpenSponsorshipThe World Cup activation window
OpenSponsorship's data shows a clear opportunity curve for World Cup brand activation. Athletes are available now at pre-tournament rates, with demand and pricing expected to rise sharply once the group stage begins June 11th.
- Kickoff — June 11: the group stage is the viral window, where trending athletes are still affordable before bidding wars begin.
- The Final — July 19, MetLife Stadium: the highest-profile moment for brands that have already built creator relationships.
Brands that lock in creator partnerships before the tournament begins benefit from lower rates, more authentic content, and deeper athlete relationships that extend beyond the tournament window. OpenSponsorship's white-glove managed service handles sourcing, contracting, content briefing, delivery, and ROI reporting end to end.
