A rate card is a number. Sponsorbench is the operating path around it.
One connected workflow
Five moves. One source of truth.
Every stage creates the input for the next, so a missed approval, vague report, or forgotten renewal does not disappear into the inbox.
01
Price
Build a defensible floor, target, and premium from reach, labor, proof, scarcity, and rights.
02
Pitch
Qualify the fit, record the signal, and give every prospect one dated next action.
03
Deliver
Protect real inventory and turn the accepted scope into an accountable campaign record.
04
Prove
Capture what ran, define what the numbers mean, and send evidence while the campaign is fresh.
05
Renew
Recommend repeat, change, pause, or stop—then record the decision instead of hoping.
Free planning tool
Build a sponsorship range you can explain.
This calculator separates the placement’s media reference from creator work, reporting, scarcity, and exclusivity. It is educational—not a universal rate or outcome promise.
Planning range
Floor$650
Target$750
Premium$940
Base media reference: $300. Treat this as a structured starting point, not an automatic quote or income promise.
The actual files

Every major file is editable. The PDFs are ready to read; the source files are ready to adapt.

Sponsor Media Kit
Ten editable buyer-facing slides built to show fit, evidence, one package, clear terms, and one next step.
Legitimate by design
Tell the truth—even when the truth is less dramatic.
Never invent reach. Every meaningful metric needs a platform, window, and definition.
Never sell one slot twice. Open, held, sold, delivered, and cancelled mean different things.
Never imply a result. Delivery facts, audience evidence, response data, and interpretation stay separate.
Never hide scope. Revisions, rights, exclusions, approvals, proof, payment, and booking conditions are named.
Questions before you buy
Plain answers.
Is this only for large shows?
No. The method is especially useful when audience relevance and creator work matter more than copying a network CPM. You still need truthful audience evidence and a credible sponsor fit.
Does Sponsorbench guarantee sponsors or income?
No. It is an operating system, not a revenue guarantee. It helps you make clearer pricing, outreach, delivery, reporting, and renewal decisions; buyers and outcomes remain outside our control.
What software do I need?
The workbook is .xlsx; the media kit is .pptx; source documents are .docx; reading copies are PDF. Current Microsoft Office is the most direct editing experience, and compatible tools may work with minor layout differences.
Can I use it for client work?
The standard license covers your own independent media or creator business and sponsor work performed directly by that business. It does not permit reselling or distributing the source templates.
Is legal review included?
No. The materials are educational. Your contracts, disclosures, outreach, claims, privacy, taxes, regulated categories, and jurisdiction require your own qualified review.
What if a file does not open?
Contact support through the address shown at checkout. We will replace a defective file or help restore access. The refund policy preserves mandatory consumer rights and covers duplicate purchases and unresolved delivery defects.
