FAQ
Quick answers about Sport Endorse
What is Sport Endorse?
Sport Endorse is an athlete marketing and sports sponsorship platform founded in Dublin. Brands use it to discover, evaluate, contact, and manage 9,000+ verified elite athletes across 280+ sports for campaigns, ambassadorships, speaking engagements, and content partnerships — on transparent market-based subscriptions with a 14–18% commission, rather than the high transaction cuts common elsewhere.
How is Sport Endorse different from a sports marketing agency?
Agencies broker deals manually and add opaque fees and delays. Sport Endorse gives brands direct, in-platform access to verified athletes with transparent pricing, in-app messaging, secure payments, usage-rights management, and campaign reporting — reducing deal timelines from weeks to hours. Full-service campaign management is available when you want a hands-off option.
Which brands use Sport Endorse?
Sport Endorse is trusted by global and regional brands including Puma, WHOOP, Kellogg's, PwC, Skechers, Optimum Nutrition, Specsavers, Red Bull, Active Iron, Uniphar (AYA), Grant Thornton, Glanbia, and Dalata Hotel Group, across healthcare, finance, retail, wellness, and corporate services.
How much does Sport Endorse cost?
Brand subscriptions are market-based, reflecting your home market and the athlete markets you access. See the pricing page for subscription plans. Platform deals carry a transparent 14–18% commission — not the 30% common elsewhere. Custom full-service packages are available, and athletes and creators join for free.
