A New Icon

We level the playing field for athletic sponsorships enabling more athletes to reach their full potential.

Large brands and agencies dominate the sports sponsorship marketplace. As a result, many athletes, including female, disabled, and LGBTQ+ athletes from various ethnicities or lower socioeconomic backgrounds, are often left without sponsors and access to what they need to reach their potential.
In addition, many sponsors need help finding and developing a genuine connection with an athlete, which leads to issues connecting with their audiences. There is no way to search for sponsors or athletes directly without involving costly agencies. Transparency and self-management are crucial in democratising the marketplace. The opportunity to make this sector more equitable is now.

We have built an innovative self-managed athlete-sponsorship platform focused on unique connections between sponsors and athletes. Sponsors, athletes, and fans can sign-up. Athletes create a public profile page with information and media about themselves. Sponsors create campaigns which athletes & teams search and apply for. In addition, all users can follow athletes who post on our social feed. Negotiation steps are in-built before the contract is confirmed; secure payment is taken for the sponsorship amount and held securely. As milestones are reached, an athlete's payment percentage is released, protecting both sides. our latest build has developed our campaign area, where marketing assets are now auto-generated in the brand and athlete voice through AI and ML implementation. Once a campaign has gone live, there is now a dashboard that shows its engagement success and delivers the data points you would expect to understand for each campaign alongside a social value calculation that maps to the SDGs and other CSR markers. Our UI and UX are updated to ensure the right data is captured and the user journey is streamlined. This new release will go live in January 2025 when we have secured our IP and started to build out our team. Our model enables the fair distribution of power.

PR Officer

Volunteer Role Description (remote, unpaid)

We are looking for a creative and committed PR Officer to lead the development and delivery of a bold public relations strategy that champions the mission of our platform—connecting athletes with businesses in ways that promote fair representation, inclusion, and diversity.

Our platform serves a dual audience: we support athletes in raising their visibility and creating new opportunities, while helping businesses engage meaningfully with talent that reflects broader society. Communicating the value of this unique approach is at the heart of this role.

Key Responsibilities Strategic Development: Design a comprehensive PR strategy aimed at increasing sign-ups and engagement across both sides of our platform—athletes and businesses.

Campaign Execution: Plan, coordinate, and deliver a targeted campaign that delivers results on time and within a modest budget.

Audience Engagement: Craft and tailor messaging to reach both athlete communities and corporate stakeholders, clearly articulating the social and commercial benefits of involvement.

Media & Outreach:

Identify and secure opportunities to feature athlete ambassadors across key channels, including radio, TV, podcasts, and digital publications.

Create and place compelling stories and articles in industry media and relevant online spaces.

Partnership Amplification:

Highlight and make the most of existing and emerging partnerships through strategic PR opportunities.

Help shape how these partnerships are publicly perceived and leveraged.

What We’re Looking For A self-starter with experience in PR, media outreach, or strategic communications (professional or volunteer).

Excellent writing, storytelling, and pitching skills.

Strong understanding of how to gain exposure across diverse media platforms.

Strategic thinker with the ability to work independently and manage timelines.

Passionate about equity, inclusion, and creating meaningful representation in sport and media.

Comfortable operating remotely and collaboratively.

What You’ll Gain A leading role in shaping a growing platform that places diversity and inclusion at its core.

The opportunity to drive visibility and engagement for a socially impactful initiative.

Experience managing a high-level PR function with autonomy and creative input.

Flexible, remote volunteering with real-world outcomes and meaningful stories to tell.
