01
Sponsorship
Which athlete fits your brand, audience and budget? I build a reasoned shortlist, check credibility within the scene and guide outreach, terms and contract.

The right match
between brand
and scene.
Independent consulting for companies that want to work with athletes from MTB slopestyle, freeride, BMX and snowboard freestyle. I find the right rider and the right format – for sponsorships, video projects, events and campaigns.
No management.
No conflict of interest.
I don't represent athletes. I work exclusively for companies – so I recommend the rider who fits your brand, not the one I earn a cut from.
Services
Four ways into the scene.
From a first sponsorship to a national campaign – I translate between your marketing team and the scene.
02
Video & Content
From social edits to full brand productions: the right riders, filmers and spots – including who gets which usage rights.

Events & Activations
Jam, contest, demo tour, trade show or the opening of a bike park: concept, line-up and partners from the scene who give the format real credibility.

Campaigns & Clips
An ad campaign with an athlete – or an existing MTB, BMX or snowboard clip for your advertising. I find the footage and the rights holders.

From briefing to landing.
01 Briefing

Why SENDMATCH
Understand the scene.
Speak business.
From the scene
I come from MTB slopestyle myself and know riders, filmers and teams across MTB and snowboard freestyle personally – not from a database.
From business
For ten years I've been advising corporations and large mid-sized companies – with a focus on online and e-commerce. Budgets, approvals and KPIs are my daily routine.
Independent
No athletes under contract, no obligations to management agencies. I recommend what fits your brand – nothing else.
About
Niklas Zimmermann
My roots are in MTB slopestyle and BMX – on the bike, at the jumps, with the people who shape the scene today. Alongside that I learned how companies make decisions: for ten years as a consultant to corporations and large mid-sized companies, focused on online and e-commerce.
SENDMATCH brings both together. I help brands show up credibly in action sports – with the right people, in the right format and with contracts that work for both sides.
