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. Our model enables the fair distribution of power.

Loved Before
A soft toy adoption agency, saving the planet one teddy at a time…
Each year in the UK alone, 8 million soft toys end up in landfill (and growing!). Along with them, the stories and memories shared with them are thrown away and left to rot. The difficult materials of these toys make them frankly impossible to recycle, and their composition means they take hundreds of years to break down and compose. Along with this, high carbon emissions come from the production of these toys which require immense fossil fuels, not to mention the carbon footprint of this high-demand global supply chain. As a culture, and quite literally from the moment we are born, we begin to grow our own collection of toys, with most children acquiring far more than they could ever love or play with within the first few years of their life. Charity shops are ill-equipped and overwhelmed, toy brand trends are fuelling over-consumption and the industry is calling for change.
This is why, when I discovered what was going on, I created Loved Before. We are a soft toy adoption agency looking to challenge perceptions of second hand, rebuild the consumer model and change the industry forever. When people are ready to part with their toys, they send them into us (we receive quite literally hundreds every single day). The toys visit our spa for a thorough clean, refresh and repair and are then beautifully packaged along with their bio (often written by their previous owners) before finding their next adventures across the world.
Fluffy Linkedin Lead
Volunteer Role Description (remote, unpaid)
Do you believe in second chances? So do we – especially when it comes to soft toys! Loved Before is on a mission to rescue, restore, and rehome pre-loved stuffed animals, proving that second-hand doesn’t mean second best. We’ve built an incredible, engaged community across our platforms, and now we need someone special to help us bring that same magic to LinkedIn.
About the Role We’re looking for a volunteer LinkedIn Manager to help us grow our presence on LinkedIn – connecting with like-minded brands, sustainability advocates, and supporters who believe in what we do. You'll play a key role in spreading our mission, building relationships, and helping us reach new audiences.
What You'll Be Doing: Creating engaging LinkedIn posts that showcase our impact, partnerships, and behind-the-scenes stories. Growing our network by connecting with potential collaborators, eco-conscious brands, and corporate supporters. Spotting LinkedIn trends and leveraging them to boost engagement. Tracking growth & insights to refine our approach. Engaging with our community—responding to comments, messages, and opportunities for collaboration.
What We’re Looking For: ✔ Someone who understands LinkedIn and can help us stand out. ✔ A creative storyteller who can turn our impact into compelling content. ✔ A self-starter who loves connecting with people and building relationships. ✔ Passion for sustainability, second-hand love, or social impact (bonus points if you have a soft spot for soft toys!).
What You’ll Get: A chance to be part of something truly special – an award-winning social enterprise changing how people see second-hand. Flexible remote volunteering – work from wherever, whenever suits you. The opportunity to make a real impact in growing a brand with purpose.
If you're ready to help us turn LinkedIn into a hub of second-hand storytelling, we'd love to hear from you! Apply now and let’s save the world, one teddy at a time.
