Podium Platform is an online resource for athletes looking to find out more about sponsorship, funding & self marketing. Providing content that arms athletes with the skills to build their own platforms, enabling them to reach the podium!
One of the greatest challenges facing amateur athletes is the lack of available information surrounding athlete sponsorship. The majority of media outlets covering sports sponsorships focus on team and event level arrangements. Podium Platform focuses on the athlete level - committed to sharing the stories behind the sponsorships. Not just what company sponsored which athlete but how the sponsorship came about, what the company is offering the athlete and what the athlete has committed to the sponsor.
By sharing these stories hopefully more athletes will see the power of their own athlete brand and begin to unlock their value.
Compete as an amateur, market yourself like a pro!
Hi Kevin, thanks for your postings, keep em coming. Just thought I would pass along another resource called Hookit, not sure if you have heard of it. It was previously known as Sponsorhouse.
