We need your help finding an international sales agent!

What can I do?
We’re hoping you know a sales agent or new media representative that would be a good fit. It could be as simple as writing to new media networks and letting them know your favorite YouTube show is looking for representation. Many of these agencies won’t even respond unless they are hearing about a show multiple times from multiple people.

How should they contact Flite Test?
Please have them contact us through our online contact form... HERE

What is an international sales agent?
A sales agent is a person or an agency that would represent Flite Test exclusively to sell advertising for the weekly episodes. This person, or agency, needs to have extensive experience in media buys for new media. The sales agent will be offered a straight commission.

Who is the perfect sales agent for Flite Test?
The perfect sales agent for Flite Test is someone that sees the value in the quality content that we provide. Someone who understands how to match up corporate sponsors to the right outlet. We are looking for mutually beneficial, and long term relationships. We initially started out by making videos that we liked watching. Now we’re looking to connect with an expert that has experience in taking new media publishers to the next level.

Are there qualifications for a Flite Test sales agent?
Yes. We are only interested working with sales agents that:
1. Have experience and a proven track record.
2. Have quality contacts that would value our content and audience.
3. Work with integrity and have an interest in supporting our mission.

Here are some examples of high quality sales agents that we have not had any luck getting in touch with. Maybe you can get their attention. Be kind and thoughtful... Please don’t spam or harass anyone.

Why doesn’t Flite Test want hobby industry sponsors?
We would love to have hobby industry sponsors. However there are two problems though...
1) We want to diversify our base of support in order to keep bringing Flitetest to our main audience and beyond.
2) We want to continue bringing as fair and unbiased reviews as possible.
Even though we’ve minimized our cost to create each show, the total operating budget for Flite Test is still considered high in the hobby market. We have highly effective advertising ad packages available on our website geared towards hobby industry advertisers.

Why would an international company that has nothing to do with the hobby want to sponsor Flite Test?
Our viewers are a very unique and concentrated demographic. Many manufacturers, distributors and service providers would find high value in exposure to our specific demographic. Some examples would be web hosting, technology based corporations or educational institutions.
