Sponsor

“NASCAR-style brand sponsorship for your everyday life. You wear the patches, read the reads, hit the activations. Brands pay CPM. Your barista is confused. You get a quarterly bonus if you sigh audibly on the L train.”

The Problem

You currently generate $0.00 in CPM every time you groan walking up the F train stairs, pour a coffee, or open the fridge and stare. Meanwhile NASCAR drivers wear $11M jumpsuits to drive in a circle. There is real money on the table. The table is you.

The Solution

We turn you into a fully sponsored athlete-of-life. Patches on the fit. Reads in the ear. Activations at the bodega. You hit your KPIs, you eat. You miss them, we move the Liquid Death patch to your roommate.
