Getting sponsor attention on IG
Whatâs up athletes! Here is a quick IG tip that has worked really well with our clients on getting the attention of sponsors.
Identify what your âbucketsâ are that you regularly post about and represent your brand.
Create an IG Highlight category for each bucket. Examples could be: âNutritionâ, âGymâ, âTravelâ, âFoodâ, âArtâ
Now as you go through your regular IG stories posts each week, you can tag companies whoâs products you are using.
Save these stories to one of your highlight buckets. This creates an easy piece of âstorytellingâ content that you or your team can share with potential sponsors.
Recently we had an athlete who wears the same athletic apparel brand in the gym. This was documented in their IG highlights. There were literally dozens of saved stories featuring this athlete showing their brand loyalty. This made our case 5x stronger when reaching out to the sponsor on why they should collab with our client.
Give it a try! You will be surprised at the results and DMâs you receive.

Get ready to take notes as we sit down with Shirley Loftus, a 71-year-old swimming powerhouse who is smashing records and redefining the limits of age. She's not just keeping up with, but outpacing, her competition by a staggering three minutes in her age group - after recovering from a shoulder surgery. Shirley's secret? An intensive, well-rounded training regimen of six days a week, including working with a sprint coach and a mid-distance coach, and pairing up with a fellow distance swimmer for grueling sessions with little rest. Listen to how she's transformed her performance by incorporating these sprint workouts into her routine.
In the second half, we delve into Shirley's motivations and goal-setting habits that keep her striving for more than just records. She reveals her desire to swim all 18 events in a year, and her enduring hope of excelling in another stroke, a testament to her never-ending pursuit of challenges. Discover which she thinks is the hardest event of them all and why. This is an episode that beautifully captures the spirit of persistence, the power of setting incremental goals, and, above all, the sheer joy of swimming.
