Curious about how to get sponsored in speedcubing and really stand out?
Cameron Brown, CEO of SpeedCubeShop, shares his top five tips for getting sponsored as a cuber. Whether you’re chasing your first partnership or looking to level up your current presence, these insights can help you put your best foot forward.
1. Patience and Listening to Feedback
Not every great applicant gets accepted right away and becomes a sponsored cuber; sometimes it’s simply a matter of timing. We may not be bringing on new sponsors at that moment, even if you check all the boxes. Don’t get discouraged. We do our best to reply to every inquiry and give feedback. Use that feedback to improve your skills, grow your audience, and be ready for the next opening.
Pro tip: While you’re waiting, keep sharpening your cubing skills and building your personal brand. Our best speed cubes collection can help you perform at your best in practice and competition.
2. Find Your Own Style
Originality is your secret weapon. There’s no magic formula; being original means leaning into your personality, ideas, and creativity. If you’re making videos, think beyond the standard cube review with background music. Show us something we haven’t seen before.
Many of our top sponsored cubers were already making content people wanted to watch, engaging, entertaining, and authentic. Figure out what makes your style unique and run with it. Originality is key if you want to secure a cubing sponsorship and stand out from the crowd

3. Write a Standout Application
A great application doesn’t mean pages of text telling us how amazing SpeedCubeShop is (we appreciate it, but that alone won’t get you sponsored). Instead, tell us about you, your skills, your achievements, what you can offer, and how you’d represent our brand.
Link your social media accounts, share your best competition results, and include your WCA profile if you have one. The more we know about your work and community presence, the easier it is to see why you’d be a great fit.
4. Understand Sponsorship Value
A sponsorship isn’t just “free stuff.” It’s a partnership. We provide gear, promotion, and event opportunities, but in return, we expect genuine promotion, creative content, wearing our merch at competitions, and helping spread the word. Providing value is essential in how to partner with a Cube brand successfully.
When you apply, be ready to show that you’re committed to helping the brand grow as much as we’re committed to helping you grow.
Bonus tip: Wearing SpeedCubeShop merch in your videos or at competitions is a great way to get noticed. Our latest apparel drop has options for every style.
5. Believe in the Brand
Only apply if you truly believe in the products and the brand’s values, this is a crucial part of how to represent a cube brand authentically. If you don’t connect with what a company offers or stands for, it will show. The most successful sponsorships happen when both sides are genuinely excited to work together.
Think of it like sports, if a pro athlete signed with Adidas but was always wearing Nikes off the clock, it wouldn’t feel authentic. Your audience can tell when your support is real.
