Questions?
Let’s bring clarity.
Here’s what to know about getting started, choosing support and working together.
Talk through your questionsWho do you work with?
We work with event organizers, sports properties, creators, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, associations and brands developing sponsorship opportunities. Your audience, assets, goals and capacity help determine the right approach.
I’m not sure which service I need. Where do I start?
Start with a free strategy call. We’ll discuss what you’re building, what you already have and where you need help. You’ll then receive a personalized recommendation to review before a follow-up conversation.
What’s the difference between the Accelerator and the Sprint?
The Accelerator provides focused coaching and direction to help develop your sponsorship approach and offer.
The Sponsorship Sprint includes more comprehensive strategy and preparation, with sponsor-facing materials defined in the agreed scope.
We’ll recommend the level of support that matches your starting point, resources and needs.
Do you prepare the offer or handle the selling?
Both types of support are available. Coaching and preparation help you build your own sponsorship capability.
Through Sponsorship Sales Agency, separately agreed services can include sales system setup, campaign testing, prospecting, outreach, follow-up and representation. Your agreement specifies who handles each activity, including meetings and negotiations.
What does it cost to work together?
Your investment depends on the preparation, support and execution required. Your personalized recommendation explains the scope, fees, payment terms and responsibilities.
Advertising spend, software and other third-party costs are identified separately where applicable.
Do I need the Sprint before agency support?
We first review your existing offer and materials. If substantial preparation is needed, the Sprint may be the recommended starting point. If your opportunity is ready, a focused setup or campaign test may be more appropriate.
Can you guarantee sponsors or a funding timeline?
No. Sponsorship decisions depend on brand priorities, budgets, timing and the strength of the opportunity.
We agree on the work, responsibilities and measures of progress. We do not guarantee sponsorship revenue or a closing date.
