How many sponsorship requests do brands receive daily and how should I approach them knowing this?

Brands like Boxo USA receive approximately 50 sponsorship requests per day through emails and DMs combined. Larger brands like Optima likely receive triple that amount. With such high volume, it's nearly impossible for marketing teams (often just 1-4 people) to respond to every request. The key is to be patient - don't send aggressive follow-up messages if you don't hear back immediately. Getting angry or impatient before a dialogue even starts signals you'd be difficult to work with, which will get you rejected. Instead, focus on building relationships through in-person meetings at events where the brand is present.
