The sponsor of my dreams

March 28, 2016 by MCM Mama 22 Comments

Have you ever sat down and thought about what company you’d love to be a spokesperson for? You know, that person that EVERYONE associates with a particular product. Maybe it’s a running product like skirts or shoes, or a particular food brand, or even something bigger. That’s our topic for Tuesdays on the Run this week: Who is your dream sponsor?

I’ll admit I had a hard time with this one. After all, I am an ambassador for some pretty amazing companies whose products I’d own even if I was not an ambassador. In fact, they are just aiding and abetting my obsessions.

For example, I love Skirt Sports. I loved them from the day I put on my first Happy Hour (an old version of the Happy Girl.) I bought new skirts as often as I could and wore them for every race. How has being an ambassador changed things? Now I have enough skirts to wear to race, train, AND live in. Yep, they are definitely my enabler. (I also happen to like all the other awesome things the company does and think that Nicole DeBoom is Da Bomb. Use code MCM20 for a 20% discount off of all regularly priced items.)

And then there’s Altra Running. I ONLY run in Altra shoes and was doing that before I became an ambassador. Why? Because they work for me. I also have a bit of a shoe addiction, so easy access to new shoes as they come out? Match.made.in.heaven.

We all know I’ve been drinking nuun for years before I became an ambassador. It’s practically a food group for me.

And I’m digging the Features! socks – they’ve become my go to socks for every run.

And I plan to party at ZOOMA again this year – I’ll be running the 10K, so I can enjoy the after party sooner. ZOOMA was my very first half marathon in 2008, so they’ll always hold a special place in my heart. (Use code ERIKA16 to get 10% off any 2016 race!)

But if I were going to be greedy and ask to be sponsored by one more company? I’d have to say Southwest Airlines. They are my favorite airline. They have a direct flight to my parents and many options of one stop flights to most other US places I’d love to go. Given how many states I have left to finish my 50 states, I definitely need an airline as a sponsor. (I wouldn’t turn down a private jet if a jet company wanted to sponsor me instead. Just sayin’)

Boom! There’s my out there dream! What’s yours???

    I don’t have a running skirt, but you definitely have peaked my interest. Wow… that is a heck of a lot of skirts.

    Great choice, seriously! I love being a race ambassador but haven’t really looked into representing product brands like running shoes or socks. It’s great to make a connection with a brand that you already love.

    I did think about Running Skirts, but I have all the patterns I “needed” to have. Come to think of it, I feel that way about Sweaty Bands too. Those are impulse buys, but my impulses haven’t wanted to buy lately.

    I like Nuun too and I am also an Ambassador but that doesn’t seem like it matters. I think I receive the same discount email as everyone else gets that is not one. I bought my first pair of feetures socks the other mth and I really like them.

    Obviously I LOVE Skirt Sports, and they’re my dream sponsor. I’d love to be sponsored by Nike because I love their shorts, tops, and sunglasses. I think they treat their athletes well, too. I’d also love Asics to sponsor me so I could get free shoes all the time! haha

    ooooh Southwest…great one!!! How awesome would that be..that would make runcations so much easier!!!

    Yea Zooma…see you there 😉

    I have tries Nuun and Feetures and just have not felt a difference. I like them both though.

    I tried SkirtSports but I think m booty was a bit too bootylicious and the skirt just didn’t fit and lay right ;(

    LOVE Altra shoes. I keep seeing these cute running skirts, a little afraid to try since I’m so short… I’d be afraid they’d make my legs look even shorter (if that is possible).

    Of course you know I adore skirt too! I am not sure that I could run without my Skirt Sports! I am excited to be joining on with Zooma this year too!!! Shoes for me would have to be Hokas and Mizunos but I have never tried Altras. Love all of the colors. A travel sponsor would be a total dream for sure. Such a fun post!

    Yes! Air travel is the most expensive part of out of town races which is why I am so limited on the ones I will do!
