The fastest growing marketing medium
Decreasing efficiency of measured media, shifting personal values and high consumer acceptance lead to sponsorship growth outpacing the growth of traditional marketing segments, including advertising.
Market size is growing
Sponsorship is the fastest growing marketing segment in terms of annual investment, with a market size of more than $60Bn as of today. It’s expected to exceed $90Bn by year 2019. Instead of traditional marketing channels, which bombard people with multiple intrusive marketing messages on a daily basis, sponsorship creates a quality dialogue between a brand and its potential customers.
SME want in
Small and mid-sized businesses are deprived of sponsorship opportunities.

Millions of children are in need of financial support
Sponsorships are not only limited to sports. Millions of young people all over the world are struggling every single day to make their ends meet. What might seem like a tiny sponsorship spending for a major corporation can make a huge difference to children in underdeveloped regions of the world.
Highly centralized industry
The sponsorship market is highly centralized as it operates through a few top-end brokers, such as CAA (Creative Artists Agency), Boras Corporation, Relativity Sports and Wasserman Media Group. Large brokers and agencies are often unwilling to work with small and medium-sized companies and prefer to cooperate with large and well-known brands and events.
-
Inflated fees
The average fee charged by a sponsorship agency can reach as high as 35% of the funding amount. Such high fees are unaffordable for small and medium sized companies.
-
Slow processing of deals
The sponsorship industry is dealing with bureaucracy, slow decision-making processes, and non-transparent contracts. It can take as long as 12 months for a sponsorship deal to conclude.
-
Significant barriers to entry
Despite being the most widely recognized way of marketing, sponsorships tend to be available only to the AAA-sized companies and events, such as McDonalds, FIFA and NASCAR, rather than small and medium sized companies.
-
Lack of information
Sponsorship is a large industry, which despite of its wide popularity, has failed to undergo a digital transformation. Information regarding market prices and trends for sponsorship deals are not readily available - meaning that sponsors and sponsees often make deals based on incomplete information.
-
Traditional sponsorship instruments are beyond the reach of poor countries
Such basic instruments as bank accounts and credit cards tend to be inaccessible to people in need. There is a strong demand for advanced technological solution that is decentralized in its core, and that is able to function without access to financial institutions. Blockchain is one of the answers.
We enable sponsees to raise sponsorship funding by issuing custom DAE-backed tokens and selling them to sponsors. All the transactions are conducted in a transparent way, and can be completed without a bank account. This proves to be crucial for people who lack access to financial services.

Fast and streamlined workflow
The sponsorship industry today is notorious for being terribly time-consuming and unpredictable. It is not uncommon for a deal to take as long as 12 months to conclude. In dAegis, thanks to the automation of the processes, average sponsorshis deal will only take 2-3 months.

Sponsors
dAegis platform would not be complete without tokenization features. DAE tokens are the backbone of each sponsorship asset and each Signature Token issued by sponsees.
Simplification of sponsorship procedures
By listing tokenized sponsorship assets on the dAegis platform, sponsees can automatically offer them to thousands of potential sponsors. Moreover, there is no need to keep track of which sponsorship assets have already been booked by sponsors, and which have not.
Sourcing sponsorship capital from own customers
Sponsees are free to source sponsorship financing from their own clients, while offering certain rights, discounts and benefits in return. For example, a sponsee can sell its Signature Tokens to customers, granting them a 1-year free of charge access to a property or event.
Secondary market of sponsorship assets
Tokenising sponsorship assets will give rise to various sponsorship derivatives and secondary sponsorship products. Assets can be placed in tranches structured by a wide range of factors such as physical or virtual sponsorship assets, geographical location, sponsees genres and business type and sponsees’ audience size.
A chance to work with hundreds of sponsors simultaneously
Tokenizing sponsorship assets allows sponsees to sell their sponsorship assets to a number of sponsors at the same time. Any sponsor not interested in covering the whole funding need of a sponsee can consider buying a few sponsorship assets that best suit their target audience’s requirements.
