2023 July Sponsorship Seminar Boxo & Optima Batteries

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.

No. Both Optima and Boxo representatives explicitly stated that sponsorships never come from DMs or unsolicited decks alone. Cam from Optima said he has 'never sponsored somebody via an agent that sent me a deck or that they personally sent me a deck or that they found my phone number and they called me out of the blue.' Every successful sponsorship relationship has come from either a trusted referral or knowing the person personally beforehand. A DM might start a conversation, but it will need to progress to emails and phone calls, and ultimately an in-person relationship.
