Why DanPat and not another

What we give you, aggregators can’t

Our own content, not recycled

Interviews, podcasts, analysis: we produce, we don’t aggregate. Your brand sits inside original content, not next to copy-paste news.

Access to the protagonists

Players and staff from the National team, Benetton and Zebre come to our studio. A relationship built over years that someone starting today can’t replicate.

A free, credible voice

Independent from the Federation and the institutions. When we partner with a brand, the community knows it’s a genuine choice — and that works for you.

Activations

Many ways to be there, not just a logo

🎥 YouTube video integrations

Mentions and integrated content in our videos, where attention is highest and the audience is warm.

📱 Social content

Reels, stories and posts on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook: over 1.3M views in 90 days on Instagram alone.

A partnership story

When Gilbert wanted the grassroots of rugby, they built a tournament with us

4th Gilbert Touch Rugby Cup
Not a banner. A live experience.

At Stadio Monigo, home of Benetton, the day after Benetton–Leinster: a touch rugby tournament open to digital communities, clubs and individuals, with National team and Benetton players on the pitch. Gilbert didn’t rent visibility: they stepped into the middle of the community, with two stands, branded gear in the hands of the public, and dozens of social content pieces created on the day.

“With DanPat, a brand gets in the game — literally.”

The Maul perks

Our partners aren’t advertising: they’re brands a rugby player would actually use. That’s why the community gets real perks — and for the brand it’s an offer reaching an active audience, not passers-by.

Brands’ questions

The answers you’re looking for

Is there category exclusivity?

Yes, at Main partner level. We guarantee no direct competitor in your product category as a partner, to give real value to the brand association.

How fast do you reply?

Within 48 hours of your media kit request, we’ll reply with up-to-date data and a tailored proposal.

Can we collaborate through product or service exchange?

Yes. We don’t work on budget alone: for many partners a supply, product or service exchange makes sense. Let’s talk it through.

How is sponsored content created?

We design it together, true to our voice: not generic ad spaces, but storytelling the community accepts because it’s authentic — and always disclosed.
