Who's Behind This
Home in Tempe for Over 13 Years

I'm the Founder of Zubie Five. I came to Tempe for Arizona State University, and I've been here ever since — more than 13 years now, through college, the start of my career, and now Zubie Five itself. This is literally where the company is headquartered.

This is the market I know best — I've lived here through all of it. Zubie Five brings that to Tempe's youth leagues, high school athletics programs, nonprofits, and parks & recreation departments — the programs that have real audiences and nobody selling for them.

Common Questions
Tempe-Area FAQs
Since you're headquartered in Tempe, do you only work with Tempe organizations? +
No — Tempe is home base, but we actively work with youth leagues, school athletic departments, nonprofits, and parks & recreation departments throughout the Valley, including Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Gilbert, and Glendale, with an established track record across Arizona, California, and Nevada and availability nationwide.
What kind of Tempe-area businesses sponsor youth sports? +
Local restaurants, financial services and technology companies, auto dealers, real estate agents, and regional/national brands looking to reach ASU-area and Valley families all sponsor through Zubie Five.
How much does it cost my organization? +
For youth leagues, high school athletics, and nonprofits, getting started costs nothing, and we're only paid when sponsor money reaches your organization: a flat 20% commission with no seasonal minimum. Pricing for other programs, including bundled city and parks & rec programs, is discussed directly. Everything is in writing before we make a single call, and the full details are open for anyone to read on How We're Paid.
