The Challenge: How might we enable student athletes to easily discover, connect with, and collaborate on brand campaigns through a streamlined and intuitive platform experience?
Student athletes often struggle to discover, connect, and collaborate with brands in a streamlined and professional way. The process of finding relevant campaigns, applying, negotiating terms, and delivering content is fragmented and inefficient—especially for individuals with limited time and experience managing brand partnerships.
Our challenge was to design a seamless end-to-end platform experience that empowers student athletes to easily apply to campaigns, communicate with brands, and activate user-generated content collaborations—all while ensuring clarity, efficiency, and brand alignment throughout the journey.

3. Matched by Brand
