When a client and star agree to work together, Sport Endorse requires a 50% deposit to confirm the booking. Booking deposits are non-refundable if you cancel after booking a star. If a star cancels and Sport Endorse is unable to find a suitable replacement, we will refund the full amount you have paid us.

If you book within 14 days of your event, we will require the full payment within 7 days and prior to the event to confirm the booking. If the sports star does not turn up to the event, Sport Endorse will provide a full refund.

Yes, this can be done in the description of the opportunity or it can be discussed directly with the talent via the messenger within the platform. Please note also some talent may have some restrictions of their own due to sponsorship arrangements.

However, when creating an opportunity you can target athletes based on various different factors such as their sport, gender, age and country.

You can also ‘favourite’ Talent to keep track of what profiles you think might be suitable for your needs.

By joining Sport Endorse you will have access to over 3000 athletes, all of whom will be able to help you promote your brand using their large followings, increasing your brand’s public exposure which leads to more sales.

This answer helps brands to decide which application they want to move forward with and thus which athlete to respond to.

Firstly, great news on getting good interest for your campaign. There are many ways to evaluate the incoming applications, some of the preferred criteria to consider include:

high engagement so you know which athletes have followers that engage with their post

a strong pitch that was personalized to your campaign and shows the athlete’s enthusiasm to work together

 value for money i.e. looking at athletes who are working within your budget despite being valued at a much higher rate

location, do you prefer to work with someone more local or someone who is in one of your target markets

We also try to help by letting you know which athletes are active on Sport Endorse, and show you their rating if they have one from previous deals.

Multi-Currency Support allows you to set your budget in USD ($), GBP (£), or EUR (€) when posting opportunities. This feature makes it easier for brands to manage international campaigns without worrying about currency conversion.

No, there is no additional cost for using Multi-Currency Support. The only costs are your subscription plan and the budget you set for the opportunity, plus any applicable VAT or bank processing charges.

Multi-Talent Selection allows you to select and book multiple athletes for a single opportunity. This feature is perfect for multi-talent campaigns or reaching broader audiences with one campaign.

No, there is no additional cost for using Multi-Talent Selection. The cost remains the same: your subscription fee and the total budget set for the opportunity (+VAT if applicable), along with any relevant bank processing charges.

A good bio is one that contains as much informative data as possible to ensure you are attractive to brands, yet also tells your story in a compelling way. Include as much information as you want, and feel free to supplement this with videos (upload directly or link in from YouTube), and links to articles. You should also connect up your social media accounts if you have them as some brands take your number of followers into consideration.
