Sponsor Me is a new kind of web-based service. First, it’s designed for few devices only (iPhone, iPad and other tablets), and second it targets very specific demographics – athlete students and their potential sponsors. Here’s what’s it all about (from the press release):
Sponsor Me, the premiere action-sports social media group and athlete management company, has recently given exclusive VIP access to a select group of individuals in the world to immersive themselves in the new interactive social media website at www.SponsorMe.com while final beta testing commences. The highly anticipated public website marks the beginning of a revolutionary change in the way mobile media and the action-sports world will be viewed both now and in the future. This game changing website features a higher standard of image and video quality using patented technology available only to Sponsor Me, licensed from the Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation. The website features a cutting edge social network platform, and a multiple signature contest series designed to give athletes a showcase for their talent, while allowing sponsors to find the likes of the next Shaun White, Kelly Slater, Tony Hawk, etc. for their brand. Contests are broadcasted live in HD across multiple screens and platforms, giving sponsors the added benefit of exposure and interactive advertising throughout the world. Using state-of-the-art coding and high definition interfacing, the website is the new place for all things social-media and action-sports combined. Momentous detail has gone into the creation of the Sponsor Me site. SponsorMe.com gives users the power to easily interface and connect with companies, sponsors, and professional athletes in the action-sports world. Sponsor Me has created an environment catered towards social mobile media and the responsible management of athletic careers, while giving ease of use to the users and fans in its multi-platform based web codec. Sponsor Me is a brand new approach to finding the most talented athletes in the world within their respective sports, and exposing them to potential sponsors by live broadcasted events on all media screens.
Personally, I would’ve been super sceptical about the prospects of a website like Sponsor Me, but these guys are already in the business and they just moved their stuff to the web. Moreover, right from the bat, they got excellent reviews from the industry, students and potential sponsors. We’ll keep our eyes open for any news coming out from Sponsor Me and if anything new and interesting comes up, we’ll definitely talk about it…
