WHAT SPONSORSHIP CAN DO

Make a challenge more accessible. Make your brand part of the story.

Workcrowd challenges normally require participants to make their own commitment. Sponsorship lets your organization subsidize that commitment while supporting people who are actively building their skills and careers.

Subsidize participation

Help cover part or all of the challenge fee so more professionals can participate.

Support real skill development

Back professionals who are learning by doing instead of simply consuming another course or webinar.

Build meaningful brand visibility

Associate your organization with a relevant professional challenge and the work created around it.

Recognize great work

Support awards, badges, prizes, featured submissions, or other forms of recognition.

    Professionals do the work

    Participants complete the challenge, publish their work where appropriate, earn recognition, and create professional proof.

WHY SPONSOR

More meaningful than another logo placement.

Workcrowd sponsorship connects your brand to an activity professionals are actually participating in, learning from, and talking about.

Employer Branding

Support professionals in fields your company hires from.

Community Building

Give members of your professional community something meaningful to participate in.

Product Education

Sponsor challenges connected to skills, workflows, or problems your product helps solve.

Thought Leadership

Put your organization behind important professional topics and emerging practices.

Talent Discovery

See great work produced by people who choose to participate.

Professional Development

Support people entering or progressing within an industry.

Sponsorship does not automatically provide access to participants’ personal information or private work.
