I read your sponsor deck, media kit, and socials the way a sponsorship manager reads them — looking for reasons to say no. You get that written down, slide by slide, with the weak lines rewritten. Then we get on a call and map what you do next.

You can build a deck that looks clean and still lose the deal on slide two. Design is the easy part. What kills most athlete pitches is the thinking underneath it.
The follower count leading instead of the audience story. An ask with no number attached. A logo grid of brands that never paid you. A value proposition that is really just a list of things you want.
You cannot see it, because you wrote it. You know what you meant. A sponsorship manager does not, and she is giving you thirty seconds before the tab closes.
The Race-Ready Brand Audit is me reading your materials cold, writing down every reason a brand would pass, and then fixing the lines that need fixing. Then we talk through where you go from here.
Two deliverables. The document does the heavy lifting so the call is not spent on things I could have typed.
A document, not notes. Slide-by-slide critique of your deck and media kit, plus a read on your positioning and socials. Every weak line gets a rewritten version you can paste straight in.
Thirty to forty-five minutes, one on one, after you have read the audit. We use it for the part a document cannot do: deciding what you actually go do next, in what order.
Right after payment you land on a short form. Your links, your decks, your goals, and the one thing you most want answered. Takes about five minutes and it is the difference between a generic audit and a useful one.
Within five business days you get the written audit. Read it before the call. Some of it will sting. That is the point of paying someone who has actually signed a title sponsor rather than asking a group chat.
Thirty to forty-five minutes. You bring questions, I bring the audit, and we decide your next moves together. Bring a notebook, not a highlight reel.
The whole thing is worthless if it ends in a folder. You leave with a rewritten deck and a short list of brands to contact this week.
Does your opening slide tell a sponsorship manager what she gets, or what you do?
Who follows you, why they trust you, and whether that overlaps with who the brand is trying to reach.
Is there a number, a tier, and a reason for the number. Vague asks get vague replies.
Which of your numbers actually mean something to a brand, and which ones are filling space.
Whether what you promised is something you can genuinely produce across a full season.
What happens after she says maybe. Most athletes have nothing built for this and lose the deal there.
A written teardown of everything you put in front of brands, plus a call to decide what you do about it. $497 — take $100 off with code AUDIT100 at checkout.
Refunds on 1:1 work are handled case by case before the work begins — see the refund policy. Once the audit is written and sent, that portion is non-refundable.
Then this is the wrong purchase. Get the Rookie Deck Kit for $138, build the three documents, and come back when you have something for me to tear apart.
The written audit. It lands within five business days of your intake form, and you read it before we talk. That way the call is spent on decisions instead of me reading you a list.
Yes. MTB, BMX, downhill, road, off-road, and most individual-athlete sports. Sponsorship managers evaluate the same things regardless of what you ride. If your sport is unusual, say so on the intake form.
The copy on the slides that need it, yes — written out so you can paste it in. I am not redesigning your layout or producing new graphics. This is about what the deck says.
Direct. If your ask is unrealistic for your current audience I will tell you, and I will tell you what is realistic instead. You are not paying $497 to be flattered.
Me. David Pulley Jr, professional Supercross athlete and founder of DPMX Media Lab. I have built and signed my own sponsorship program from the privateer side, including a title partner. More on that here.
