Sponsor Hunting
May 02, 12:00 PM

Being a member of the Frag Dolls and the leader of PMS Clan, I get lots and lots of questions about how people can go about getting their team sponsored.  While I can’t really tell you how to go get sponsored (as it really comes down to selling yourself and a companies products/services), I can help you put a sponsorship proposal together that would assist you in your hunt. This is something that should be sent to any company that asks for more information from you, and can be emailed out to potential sponsors. You can even organize your proposal into a brochure to hand out at tournaments and industry events! You can use this same outline for many sponsors, just remember that there are some areas that need to be tailored specifically for each company so edit those every time. While this should be done in a Word document for easy emailing, PowerPoint also works great, too. It works especially well if you have a lot of images you want to include, but I HIGHLY suggest you convert it into a .pdf file so the information can’t be changed by others, as it provides security. Be sure to keep the file size down and keep image size small so that there are no issues sending it via email. A basic sponsorship proposal should contain the following:Cover Page- Contain Title with Team Name (i.e. Green Team 2008 Sponsorship Package) and …

A big smile, great weapon handling and a voice that carries like a cheerleader’s goes a long way – especially if you are a female gamer in a male-dominated industry plagued by “ideas” of what a girl gamer should be. Driven to dispel the stereotypes that exist about girl gamers and help create a safe haven for other female gamers, Amy has made a mark in the gaming community like no other female gamer before her. She helped to create and lead the largest
multi-platform female clan, consisting of more than three hundred gun-toting women that compete on five FPS (First-person Shooter) games, in ten separate divisions. 

Competition is no stranger to Brady who is more then just an online gamer. Brady is known as “Valkyrie” in the video game online community as a member of Ubisoft’s all-girl gaming team, the Frag Dolls. The team includes seven members who each boast a signature name and the intent to not only win but dominate. It’s obvious that Brady contributes considerably to the team with her extraordinary organizational abilities and leadership on the field.

Brady was also one of the creative force behind building, developing, and marketing the Pandora’s Mighty Soldiers (PMS) Web site into the largest Xbox LIVE clan community, with more than 3,000 registered members since launch. Her degree in psychology of organizational development and experience in human resources has helped her succeed in organizing and promoting clans.

Although Brady’s introduction to professional gaming came with the formation of the Frag Dolls shortly before the release of Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow, she has been a gamer ever since the days of Atari. Once spending two days straight playing Final Fantasy III, Brady consistently proves she is passionate about playing video games. Aside from the considerable amount of hours spent on practice a week for the Frag Dolls, Brady pours in an additional 50-60 more hours of personal game play. A lover of all genres, titles such as Rainbow Six 3, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Halo 2, and Final Fantasy XI are responsible for keeping her so busy today. 

In December 2006, Valkyrie was part of the four member Frag Doll team that took first place in the Rainbow Six Vegas tournament at CPL in Dallas.
