The 5 Wave 3 objections

Click each question to expand the answer. Each block is grounded in what we signed with previous-wave partners and the public Wave 3 pricing grid on /en/partenaires/faq.

How much does a PULSAR partnership cost?

Wave 3 has three transparent pricing tiers: Bronze €500, Silver €1,500, Gold €3,000 (ex-VAT). Each price covers the full EVA Challenger League 2026 season — visibility, content deliverables, and any Geekfest placements listed on the tier sheet. No hidden fees.

For one-off activations (single-event sponsorship, off-season reach, isolated match coverage), we build a custom quote based on your brand objectives and timing — request it via the contact form using the "Custom" option.

How big is the PULSAR audience, really?

Three concrete axes. EVA Challenger League: live broadcasts and replays pulled in thousands of cumulative views across the 2026 season on the league's official channels. Discord community: active members following training sessions, VOD reviews, and match announcements. Nouvelle-Aquitaine regional reach: local pull through Geekfest events, regional tournaments, and partnerships with local media.

Detailed numbers — monthly view counts, Discord size, EVA Conférence Beta standing — are kept current on the /stats page.

How do you measure ROI?

Every Wave 3 partner receives an end-of-season KPI report that aggregates: podium mention counts across EVA broadcasts, recap publication cadence on /news, dedicated article count, social impressions on PULSAR channels, and — when applicable — inbound lead counts from UTM-tagged links on the partner contact form.

Gold-tier partners get an additional deep-dive: pre-match video segment metrics, YouTube + TikTok replay numbers, and per-match reach reconstruction. We don't promise a one-size-fits-all methodology — we align the KPIs to your actual objective (local awareness, lead generation, or brand association).

Can my competitors also become partners?

Exclusivity depends on the tier. Gold: one master partner per home EVA match day — your category is locked for that match day's Gold slot. Silver and Bronze: non-exclusive at the category level — multiple brands can coexist, but jersey and live-screen placements remain assigned to a single partner per activation.

The Wave 3 outreach pack itself closes once the three sponsor slots are filled. Beyond that, the next season opens under Wave 4 — see /academy for the parallel pipeline aimed at brands who want to reach academy graduates.

Where exactly does my brand appear?

Depending on the tier you choose, your brand appears on these placements throughout the season:

Silver — logo on the EVA training jersey, live-screen placement (5 min / match), booth presence at Geekfest Bordeaux 2027, dedicated article on /news.

Gold — everything in Silver, plus logo on the official competition jersey, dedicated video content (YouTube + TikTok), pre-match segment placement, and main sponsor of one home match day.

Bronze — placement in the PULSAR site footer, social media mentions (4 posts across the season), 2 PULSAR newsletters, and 1 meet-and-greet seat at the finale.
