Sponsors & Brand Partners

Reach engaged anglers across Romania and the wider region. Tackle brands, bait companies, tourism boards, and outdoor retailers — work with LakeBooking.

Sponsors & Brand Partners

LakeBooking is the booking platform anglers reach for when they're already in buying mode — picking the lake, planning the session, choosing the swim. That's a useful moment for the right brand to show up.

This page explains the sponsor formats we offer, what we don't accept, and how to start a conversation.

Who we work with

Tackle & bait brands with products relevant to coarse, carp, predator, and fly fishing in Central and Eastern Europe.
Outdoor retailers and chain stores running active fishing departments.
Regional tourism boards promoting fishing destinations.
Manufacturers of bivvies, boats, sonar, and water-side accommodation gear.
Conservation NGOs and fisheries authorities running stocking, research, or education programmes.

What we offer

Featured lake collections

A curated row on the homepage — e.g. "Top 12 carp lakes in Transylvania, supported by Brand". Brand logo, short copy block, and an outbound link beside lakes that pass our editorial bar. We control the editorial selection.

Lake-page contextual placements

A respectful sidebar block on a lake's detail page, geo- and species-targeted. For example, a fly-fishing tippet manufacturer can appear on grayling-stocked rivers in Bucovina. No takeovers, no autoplay video, no pop-ups.

Co-funded stocking & catch reporting

We can ring-fence sponsor funding for a host's annual stocking, in exchange for an in-product "Stocked with support from Brand" badge and a published catch report after each season. Best for tackle brands that genuinely want fish in the water.

A single, clearly-marked sponsor block per monthly newsletter. Frequency-capped at one feature per advertiser per quarter so the same offer doesn't fatigue our list.

Event & tournament sponsorship

We're piloting hosted tournaments after our first season settles in. Title and category sponsorship slots will be available.

What we won't do

Promote products inconsistent with fish welfare — banned-substance baits, illegal nets, electrofishing gear, undersize-fish equipment.
Affiliate-link search results or paid lake rankings. Search ordering is editorial.
Pop-ups, interstitials, or autoplay creative. No exceptions.
Sell or share our angler list. We will run a sponsor message to our list on a sponsor's behalf, never the other way around.
Run political, gambling, alcohol-targeting-minors, or weapons advertising.

Editorial independence

We separate editorial from sponsorship deliberately. The team that picks "Top 12 carp lakes in Transylvania" doesn't know what brand is funding the row until selection is complete; the brand can decline the placement if the list isn't a fit but cannot influence which lakes appear.

Rates and reach

LakeBooking is a young platform — we're transparent that our reach today is in the low five-figure monthly anglers, concentrated in Romania (~78%), with growing audiences in Hungary, Bulgaria, and Italy. We don't publish standard rate cards because our placements are small enough to need a real conversation. Expect range:

Newsletter feature: €600–€2,500 per send
Featured lake collection: €1,500–€8,000 per month
Lake-page contextual placement: from €0.80 CPM, geo- and species-targeted
Co-funded stocking: from €5,000 per lake per season
