(Steamboat Springs, Colo.) March 9, 2015—Honey Stinger, the leading manufacturer of honey-based nutritional products, is now accepting applications for Hive athlete sponsorships on Hookit, a digital platform designed to support athletes, brands and sports. The Honey Stinger Hive program supports the athletic pursuits of Honey Stinger customers and supporters by offering discounted Honey Stinger products and merchandise.
Both pro and amateur athletes on Hookit can track their progression and ranking alongside others while earning recognition, deals and sponsorships based on their Hookit Score. The Hookit Score ranges from 1-1,000, measuring athletes based on their results, fan base, social media activity, engagement and more in the motorsports, board sports, cycling/endurance, outdoor, team and Olympic categories.
“Hookit is the new standard for brands and industry insiders to identify the most active, valuable and influential athletes participating in a variety of sports,” said Marketing Director Len Zanni. “We look forward to using this platform to help grow our Hive program by fueling athletes who are out there pushing themselves.”
Brands on Hookit have the ability to track and rank athletes, teams and brands’ exposure and activity in social media using the Hookit Index. Data provided by the Hookit Index shows which athletes are most influential on social media, thus simplifying the discovery process and connecting athletes and brands seamlessly.
