Top 5 Athletes To Work With For Halloween
Top 5 Athletes to Work with for Halloween
Trick or Treat: Halloween is coming! We've had some fantastic athlete names throughout sports history that are absolutely perfect for this spooky holiday - Frank Gore, Spook Jacobs, Darius Slay, and DJ Killings, just to name a few. We've also had big sports debates over which halloween candies would take the GOAT label (though Reese's peanut butter cup should clearly take the cake). But have you ever thought about some of your favorite athletes who simply brings utter fear to their opponents? We definitely have a few of our own, and we know that these athletes on our platform are capable of causing major disruption in their respective sports, so you better look out!
Jon "Bones" Jones
Jon Jones is arguably the number one pound for pound fighter in the UFC. Widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists, Jones has had 14 consecutive title fights and holds the record for the most title defenses in UFC history with 12. He last fought on Feb. 8, 2020, making his third consecutive light heavyweight title defense (and 12th overall) against Dominick Reyes. His fight resume is unmatched. He said that there's a good chance he won't fight this year, but mentioned that he began bulking up for a run at heavyweight. Look for him to terrorize his opponents in his upcoming fights!
Klay Thompson
Klay Thompson was out with a major knee and achilles injury over two and a half seasons. Despite this setback, he is still widely regarded as one of the best shooters and defenders in NBA history. He is the active record holder for most three-pointers made in a game with 14(!!!) threes. Once he catches fire, the rim seems like it has grown 3x wider and there wouldn't be much that his defenders can do. His highly anticipated return did not disappoint, as he definitely didn't look like he missed a single step! He led to his Golden State Warriors to yet another championship. I think it is safe to say that seeing Thompson catch fire would be as scary as the jump scare from your favorite local Halloween haunted corn maze.
Candace Parker
Fresh coming off her 2nd WNBA championship last year, Candace Parker is an absolute nightmare on the court. This versatile forward led her hometown Chicago Sky to its first championship, after spending most of her career tormenting defenders in an LA sparks uniform. The former number one pick is not new to this championship feeling, as Parker also led the Tennessee Volunteers to back to back NCAA championships in 2007 and 2008, while earning multiple valuable accolades such as POY and MVP along the way. Keep an eye out as she tries to lead her Sky to back to back WNBA championships this season.
Valentina Shevchenko
Widely considered one of the greatest female fighters in the world, former UFC champion Valentina has been dominant in martial arts from a very young age. Her kickboxing career began in 2000 when, at age 12, she knocked out a 22-year-old opponent, earning her the moniker "Bullet" from her trainer Pavel Fedotov because of her speed in the ring. From 2003 to 2015, Valentina collectively won more than 50 amateur and pro matches in K-1, Muay Thai, and kickboxing, winning a total of nine gold medals at the Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Championships. Hands down one of the most accomplished fighters in the world, I would think twice about getting in the octagon with her.
Rob Gronkowski
Name one thing scarier than the "Gronk Spike" - we'll wait. Rob Gronkowski, nicknamed "Gronk", is a recently retired American football tight end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League (NFL). He previously played nine seasons for the New England Patriots. He is a four-time Super Bowl champion (XLIX, LI, LIII, LV), a five-time Pro Bowl selection, a four-time First Team All-Pro selection, and was selected in the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team and NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. His accolades on the gridiron speak for itself and we all know that he has been an absolute menace on the field.
With the holiday season fast approaching, brands need to start thinking about potential campaigns to run, starting with Halloween! At OpenSponsorship, we can connect you with the right athletes for authentic, data-driven marketing campaigns. Get started today!

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.
