TRAINJIAN sponsorship
Sponsor a story, not a surface.
sponsors are an integral part of the fight. TRAINJIAN shows it.
Sponsorship Opportunities
TRAINJIAN
Knowledge translation for combat sport — turning coaching knowledge and research into films, lectures and resources that people actually use.
01Who we are
TRAINJIAN is a knowledge translation studio working in combat sport. We take material that normally stays locked inside a coaching conversation — biomechanics, movement science, skill acquisition — and rebuild it so a fighter, a coach, or an interested beginner can understand it and apply it.
That work takes two forms, and they are deliberately kept on separate channels so each one speaks to a clear audience.
Available now — Instagram
TRAINJIAN Media
Cinematic short films about combat sport. Character-driven, visually led, built around real athletes in Vancouver, BC.
In development: a character-driven short film series built around working fighters in Vancouver, BC.
Launching — YouTube
TRAINJIAN Science
Educational video and resources. Lectures and explainers on movement, mechanics and coaching, published with the rigour of a teaching resource.
Launching series: Boxing as Fundamental Movement Patterns — opening episode, The Step.
02What sponsorship buys
We do not sell banner space. A TRAINJIAN sponsorship places a brand inside content that an audience chooses to watch deliberately, and associates it with expertise rather than interruption.
Three assets carry the value:
1. Embedded credit, not an appended logo
Sponsor recognition is placed inside the content — spoken and on-screen — rather than only in an end card. An end card disappears the moment a clip is re-shared. A credit embedded in the video travels with every re-upload, compilation, embed and archive. It keeps working after the campaign period ends.
2. Category exclusivity
One sponsor per category across each property. No competitor of yours appears in TRAINJIAN content for the life of the agreement.
3. Editorial input
Sponsors help choose what gets taught. For organisations whose customers are the people watching — clinicians, trainers, engineers, coaches — commissioning the video that answers a question your market is already asking is a materially different proposition from buying impressions.
03TRAINJIAN Media — available now
Sponsorship on the existing Instagram channel. Reach is live today, and reels are already performing to a following of 40,000 and growing.
| Tier | What the sponsor receives | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Supporter | Logo on the reel end card · first-named sponsor in the video caption · one tagged story per release | $500 |
| Partner | Everything above, plus a branded 15–30 second segment inside one reel per month · branded insert in a Gumroad download | $1,250 |
| Presenting | Everything above, plus category exclusivity · “Presented by” on the reel · a branded resource hosted under the sponsor’s name on Gumroad | $2,750 |
Gumroad insert is an add-on available to Partner and above: sponsor-branded material placed inside a downloadable resource, so every person who downloads sees it.
04TRAINJIAN Science — founding sponsors
This is a founding offer, and it is only available once. TRAINJIAN Science is at the start of its life on YouTube. The sponsors who come in now are written into the channel’s origin and hold a rate that will not be offered again.
Founding Supporter
$450
per month · $4,950 on annual
Founding Partner
$1,150
per month · $12,650 on annual
Founding Gold
$2,500
per month · $27,500 on annual
Founding rates are held below standard. Sponsors entering after the founding window pay the prevailing rate card.
| Tier | What the sponsor receives |
|---|---|
| Supporter | Permanent spoken thanks in the end sequence of every video published during the term · logo in the channel’s permanent description block · name on the founding-sponsor wall of the channel |
| Partner | Everything above, plus an embedded on-screen credit inside each video’s content · one co-branded resource per quarter · editorial input on topic selection · category exclusivity |
| Gold | Everything above, plus the sponsor’s name above the title on one flagship video per year · permanent Founding Sponsor designation on the channel · first look at every future format, series and resource before public release · co-branded series development · one bespoke video produced for the sponsor each year |
Term
Twelve months, paid annually or monthly. Founding status — and the rate attached to it — is held for the life of the relationship, subject to continuous sponsorship.
Founding sponsors are the only people who will ever hold TRAINJIAN Science at this rate. When the channel’s audience grows, the rate card rises; founding sponsors do not.
05Why founding sponsorship is worth it
You are buying a position, not an audience
A founding sponsor is not paying for a channel’s current reach. They are buying permanent placement in the identity of a channel from its first published video — a credit that will sit on every episode as long as the channel exists. There are a fixed number of those positions and they close when the founding window does.
The recognition is durable by design
Because credit is embedded in the content rather than appended to it, the sponsor’s name survives re-uploads, clips, shorts and embeds. Promotional spend normally stops working when the campaign stops; this does not.
You hold the rate permanently
Founding rates are locked. As TRAINJIAN Science grows, new sponsors pay the prevailing rate card. Founding sponsors continue at the price they signed at.
You help decide what gets taught
Topic input at Partner and Gold means the content can be pointed at the questions your own market is asking — the strongest form of sponsorship available to an organisation that sells to the people watching.
06Where the money goes
Founding sponsorship is what makes TRAINJIAN Science possible at all. Funds are directed to three things, in order:
- Production time. Research, scripting, filming, editing and publishing — the hours the work actually requires.
- Equipment. Audio first, then camera, lighting, storage and editing. Sponsors are welcome to meet this through in-kind product, which is often more useful to them and costs the sponsorship less.
- Distribution. Upload capacity, hosting for resources, and the tools required to publish consistently.
07Getting started
Founding positions are capped and the founding window closes 31 January 2027 — whichever comes first. Category exclusivity is allocated first-come.
| Tier | Positions |
|---|---|
| Supporter | 12 available |
| Partner | 6 available |
| Gold | 3 available |
To discuss a tier, arrange an in-kind equipment partnership, or request a custom package combining both properties, get in touch.
Draft prepared September 2026. Rates shown are in Canadian dollars and are founding rates, subject to change for sponsors entering after the founding window.
