Sponsor Magnet: Attract, Price, & Execute Dream Partnerships

I've never sponsored someone else's event before… so when George pitched me on putting $2,000 behind his live creator intensive in the UK, I took a leap. George put together a full post-campaign report and walked me through it live, so we could both see what worked, what didn't, and what we'd do differently next time.

Here's what we cover:

How to create a post-campaign report for a sponsor

Why you should never assume a brand is upset — even when the KPIs didn't land

The follow-up move that could turn a low-converting event into high-value leads

Why event sponsorships are nearly worthless without physical presence — and what to do instead

Arnov and Julian manage everything for one of YouTube's biggest learning channels, Dr. Justin Sun. One year ago, brand deals were an afterthought. Now? They've 10x'd their sponsorship revenue, landed a deal that generated a 20x ROI for the brand, and turned a one-off partnership into an ongoing multi-platform relationship. Here's exactly how they did it.

Here's what we cover:

Why hopping on a discovery call (before talking money) completely changed how brands perceived them

The three-package pitch strategy that closed a deal in the same week, with almost no back-and-forth

How a 6-million-view video started generating ROI for the brand at just 60,000 views

The post-campaign review process that made them their brand partner's favorite creators to work with

How a YouTube sponsorship evolved into CEO-level conversations about a full product integration
