The Loop

We're stoked to announce that among some new features for brands, we just released a new look and functionality for the sponsorship application.  Take a look below and read on for more info on the upgrade.  If you have any feedback or ideas to improve the next version of the application, post a comment below.

Above: Sponsors can browse a slideshow of your photos - either all of them or a specific gallery.  Title and description are displayed, so make sure you fill out both.

1) Contact Info & Stats This gives companies a quick view of your stats and vitals - make sure your contact info is up to date (including email and phone number) - some sponsors may need to get in touch with you outside of Loop'd. We also made the headshot bigger. 2) Photo Gallery Our favorite new feature, the My Photos section of the application lets you pick the gallery that you want the sponsor to see!  This means that you can create a gallery that's specific the sponsor you're trying to pick up – you can include photos of you running their gear or pics of you specific to the sport the sponsorship is for.   Upload a photo right from the application or click on a photo to view it in full screen slideshow format. 3) Competition Overview Not much changed here except the placement and layout.  Add a result right from here.  If you want certain results to show up at the top of your list, just check the 'Highlight' box. 4) Application Q&A These are the questions the sponsor wants answered.  It might seem like a lot of work, but this is the area where you can show why you're different than everyone else.  If you need more time to edit your answers or update your profile info - just Save your application.  You can finish and send your saved applications by going to Sponsorship > Applications > Saved. 5) Sponsorship Overview This shows companies who you're sponsored by currently and if you've been sponsored by them before.
