Ex-Red Bull Employee: The Secret To Getting Sponsored

What's it like to sit on the opposite side of the table during a sponsorship negotiation? What are the mistakes that athletes make when they put their proposals together, and what can be done to flip the script so sponsors come to athletes instead of the other way around? After 12 years of working with athletes at Red Bull, I'm sharing everything that I learned about the best (and worst) ways to build a healthy partnership with ANY potential sponsor.

In this video, we talk all about sponsorship from the perspective of someone who has been the main point of contact for athletes and their sponsors. Learn the mistakes that athletes make when they put sponsorship proposals together, and how you can set yourself up for success so that companies come to you.

It is pretty incredible for many of us as some sports really would not be where they are today without the support of sponsors, with red bull being the largest for our action sports. For those who sit on the 'freeride' side of their sport, over racing, some careers would not exist without red bull's input. Unique events like rampage and imagination are the focus of many pro riders' entire year. I guess what i'm trying to say is that red bull doesn't just support riders in pushing their sports (like their other sponsors), but actually creates and facilitates the challenge itself. Very unique.

[Nlteam]

thank you !!! I love RedBull and their work ! I Hope one time i could be part of their family !

[TrailSage]

Fantastic video Aaron! As a content creator and podcast host I'm constantly navigating this space and it was really helpful to get this insight into the business. One question, you talked about how to start a partnership, but what are the reasons creators loose sponsorships? For instance, why would companies like Giant leave Jeff Lenosky, and Diamondback leave amazing creators like Seth? Thanks, Sage

What are some ways to build a relationship before actually signing a contract? Could you give us examples of what specific action you took to build the relationship?

[julialieberman]

I just started skiing this season and progressed really far in a short time that it seems like natural talent. I want to eventually compete in competitions. Is redbull the type that would help someone along a journey like this?
