WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Make the connection
mean something.
Start with a shared interest, a clear audience and something useful to create together. These are starting points for a conversation.
A story for your brand.
Short videos, athlete photography or a training-day feature for a business’s own channels, with the scope and usage agreed together.
- A short video and a selection of photographs
- Content grounded in products Whitney actually uses
- A clear plan for where and how the content appears
EXAMPLE PROJECT
A 30–60 second training-day video and 3–5 product or athlete photographs for a local business’s website and social channels.
A meaningful appearance.
A conversation, customer event or youth-sports gathering built around perseverance, confidence and the people behind an athlete.
- A moderated conversation or question-and-answer session
- A local business or community event
- An opportunity to encourage young athletes
EXAMPLE PROJECT
A 30-minute store appearance with a short Q&A and photographs with customers or young athletes.
A partnership that fits.
A collaboration with an endurance, cycling, swimming or running business that has a natural place in Whitney’s athletic life.
- Product experiences and authentic storytelling
- Campaigns with defined deliverables and timing
- A focused project or an ongoing relationship
EXAMPLE PROJECT
A three-part product campaign: an introduction, a training update and a race-week reflection.
Examples illustrate possible projects, not a commitment or fixed package. Availability and scope are agreed individually around school, training and competition. These opportunities concern Whitney’s personal participation; team appearances and school branding require separate arrangements.
TEAM FIRST
Individual ambition.
Shared values.
Whitney’s story includes the teammates who helped her recover, the coaches who challenged her and the community that supported her. She brings that same respect for shared effort to the way she approaches a partnership.
