Activation process
Five steps from sponsorship-fit to multi-team program.
- Confirm category fit
Audit your category against rider-and-team consumption — nutrition, recovery, gear-adjacent — before approaching teams.
- Pick the team format
Decide between amateur clubs, elite amateurs, development teams, or pro — based on budget, content goals, and audience reach.
- Structure the partnership
Lock the activation rights — kit, content, training-camp access, race-day surfaces — and the deliverables on both sides.
- Activate the calendar
Run the calendar — training season, regional races, peak season, off-season programs — as a single brand-team operating rhythm.
- Translate to scale
Pilot results, rider testimonials, and content assets feed a multi-team program across regions and team formats.
