Bay Area Youth Sports Sponsorship

5 counties. One agreement. One invoice. One report.

For brands buying across Bay Area, we consolidate sponsorship placements at youth leagues, high school athletic programs, and community nonprofits into a single managed program — with standardized activations and consistent reporting across every market.

Why It Works
Why Local Placement Beats Regional Buying

A brand sponsoring a parent's own child's program has an 81% chance of that parent paying attention. Sponsoring youth sports generally — a program with no connection to their family — drops to 61%.

That 20-point gap is the reason we place regionally but sell locally. You get one agreement covering the region, and inside it, placements at the specific programs where your customers' kids actually play.

The Process
How a Regional Program Works
  • We source and vet the organizations across every county, matched to your target audience and footprint
  • Standardized activation menu — the same placement types priced consistently in every market
  • Category exclusivity managed across the program, not negotiated org by org
  • One agreement, one invoice — not dozens
  • One performance report covering the full program, with dated placement photos and counted attendance from every organization

Complete Transparency
How We're Paid on Regional Programs

When a brand engages us directly to build a multi-organization program, the brand pays us — and the organizations placed into that program pay nothing. It's scoped and priced as a program management engagement.

We are never paid by both sides of the same deal. You'll know in writing which arrangement applies before anything is signed.
