Sponsorships allow you to align your name and brand with other major corporations and brands. Sponsorships amplify your voice, work, and brand.

What happens when you’re a sponsored influencer? That’s up to you! It’s a story and journey that you get to write. Here’s what some of my clients experienced by being sponsored:

  • Increased credibility, image, and prestige: They quickly became a celebrity or authority figure in their market.
  • Maximum influence in their niches: They were able to charge more for the work they do and the tribe they influence.
  • Increased target market: Alignment with the right brands increased their customer base.
  • More sales with supercharged sponsorship promotions: Sponsorship influencers increased their revenue and stopped worrying where the next client or check would come from.
  • Secured support: They got companies to pay for their brands, products, and services. They avoid the cash flow roller coaster that makes your stomach turn every month.

It’s time for the world to know you. It’s time to be paid for the difference you make. It’s time to get sponsored.

Sponsorship is an amazing journey. Remember that sponsorship takes time and persistence, but the rewards are far greater than the effort. Sponsorship is simple….it’s just not easy!

SPONSORSHIP MYTHS

  1. I will get sponsored simply because I have a big following.
  2. I need a big list in order to get sponsored.
  3. Only non-profits can get sponsored.
  4. There's no money for first-time properties.
  5. I don't have anything to give a sponsor.
  6. Sponsorship is easy.
  7. More sponsors means more money.

SPONSORSHIP MISTAKES

  1. Believing that sponsorship is just a bunch of "free" money because the sponsor is an ATM machine.
  2. Believing that a sponsor has to love or like you.
  3. Not providing enough detail.
  4. Providing too much story or fiction.
  5. Not planning appropriately for the timing of the sponsorship.
  6. Not offering exclusivity.
  7. Harassing and disrespecting the sponsor.

SPONSORSHIP EXCUSES

  1. I don't do social media.
  2. I don't have a website.
  3. I don't have a logo, my business is too small.
  4. I don't have a video studio, I'm not ready yet.

You Have Everything You Need To Be An Influencer. You Can Get Sponsored As An Influencer.

It's time to find out exactly how you want to share your influence and get sponsored for the difference you make. You must believe that you have something valuable to offer to the world, then be able to articulate that value to sponsors whether they be local, provincial, regional, national, international, or even virtual. Yes, in this digital age, more and more influencers are being sponsored virtually. 

WHY CHOOSE US?

I have my finger on the pulse of the latest trends in the sponsorship and marketing industries that allows us to harness cutting-edge strategies that garner results.

I have a 10+ years of marketing and sales experience, and an extensive network of influential relationships, coupled with the intelligence and data of the real-time spending habits of today’s consumers and brands.

My expertise has resulted in hundreds of key partnerships and millions of rands of new revenue for my clients.

This is for YOU if:

  • You currently self-fund your programs and events OR avoid these initiatives all together due to lack of cash flow.
  • You are an influencer that consumers already follow and admire.
  • You are aware it’s time to add corporate sponsors to take your business higher but you lack the information and relationships to make it happen.
  • You want to rapidly elevate your revenue in a way that other marketing strategies cannot.

TOP 5 REASONS INFLUENCERS SHOULD CONSIDER CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS:

  1. Stop self-funding your dream–events, programs, book launch and tours.
  2. Improve your overall impact and income by leveraging with big name brands
  3. Tap into one of the most lucrative revenue streams, with the ability to scale
  4. Elevate Your Income without creating anything new
  5. Create massive visibility with key brand alignment

What My Clients Are Saying

"I wanted to land corporate sponsors but I did not know where to start, what to offer, or charge. After working with Lumka 1:1 for 6 hours and implementing her framework, I scheduled 8 meetings with potential sponsors and closed 3 of them, securing R325,000!."

Melanie Standa, Business Trends, Inc

"I hosted my first conference this year and Lumka helped me secured 2 corporate sponsors for the event. While working with her she worked with me to create a strategy, communicated with me frequently and managed the entire process in a way that gave me extreme confidence in her abilities. She really knows her stuff. We have already began to work on securing sponsorships for next year."

Nicole Roberts, Fierce Confidence Lab

"Lumka Stuurman’s corporate sponsorship strategies have taught me the effective ways to create a partnership opportunity presentation. Before working with Lumka I did not know where to start. Now, I have 5 meetings on my calendar and already landed one sponsor to launch an upcoming event."
