What is athlete branding? 

It is a strategic process of creating a specific identity, personality, and vibe for an individual athlete. 

Building an athlete brand requires investments in personality, values, achievements, and style communicated through social media and other channels.

These are sponsorship opportunities for individual athletes, offering up to KSh 500,000 in support per athlete. We support 1 or more winners each month, with regional announcements.
