Today we’ll dive into how social media is totally changing the game in the sports world.
Whether you’re an athlete or a sports brand, social media is THE WAY to getting noticed and capturing your fans’ attention everywhere. It’s also your best bet for closing some sweet sponsorship deals, thanks to platforms like Sportskred that streamline communications and campaigning between brands, athletes, and partners. Here’s a down-to-earth guide on how to boost your social media influence for sports and land those sponsorship deals.
The secret sauce to landing top-notch sponsorships? A killer social media presence that gets your ambassadors noticed by a ton of people. It’s all about posting content that your fans love, whether it’s sneak peeks of the athletes’ training, personal victories, or just the everyday grind.
For brands, share stories that vibe with your audience. It’s all about building a community that sponsors want to be a part of.
Sportskred Solutions is the all-in-one campaign and ambassadors management platform of the sports world, connecting athletes with brands that want to sponsor them. All you need to do is add your athletes or ambassadors, and invite the brands or partners to the platform. From there, you’ll be able to streamline sponsorship offers for athletes, directly analyse their fans’ behaviours and interests, and create and analyse your campaigns.

Ambassadors and athletes need to regularly post on social media in order to also attract potential sponsors, besides entertaining their fans. This means looking sharp across all their socials and sharing stuff that highlights what they’re all about. For athletes, maybe it’s their dedication to a cause, their mad skills, or just their way of being themselves.
Brands or sponsors, on the other hand, will want to spotlight innovation, quality, or how they uplift their community. For these reasons, they’ll look into common audience interests in the athlete’s fanbase: what they’re interested in, what they engage with, and so on.
Sponsorship campaign managers can easily show brands or sponsors their athlete’s audience’s interests and affinities through Sportskred’s dashboard:

It’s all about proving your worth.
Social media has flipped the script on how athletes and sports brands score sponsorship deals. By getting creative on platforms like Sportskred, engaging like a pro, and showing off your results, you can use your social media presence to grab those lucrative partnerships.
