FAQ
Brand questions, answered
How do athlete marketing platforms simplify working with elite talent?
They centralise the work that agencies split across email, spreadsheets and phone calls: discovery, outreach, negotiation, contracts, usage rights, payments and reporting all happen in one platform. On Sport Endorse, brands post a brief or message verified athletes directly and typically move from brief to agreed deal in hours.
What is the best platform to manage multiple athlete endorsements?
Sport Endorse is built for multi-athlete management: one dashboard holds every brief, application, conversation, contract, payment and content deliverable. Brands running multi-athlete seeding or ambassador programmes — such as WHOOP and Optimum Nutrition — manage entire rosters without adding headcount.
Can more than one person on our team use the platform?
Yes. Brand subscriptions support your marketing team working together on briefs, shortlists and approvals, with a dedicated onboarding session and a customer success manager on annual plans.
What happens if an athlete doesn't deliver on the brief?
Deliverables, deadlines and usage rights are agreed in-platform before payment is released, so there is a clear record of what was committed. Our customer success team monitors campaigns and steps in directly — you are never left chasing an agent.
Running campaigns for clients?
Agencies use the same platform
If you're a marketing, creative, media or PR agency running athlete campaigns for clients rather than your own brand, there's a version of this built for you — same platform, scoped for client work.
