Imagine this: You’re sitting at your desk, thousands of miles away from a tiny island in the Philippines. On your screen, a baseball coach is staring down a massive python that’s slithered onto his makeshift field. And there, on his shirt, is your company’s logo.
That’s not a fever dream. That’s a potential Tuesday for a sponsor of “Building the Coconuts,” a new YouTube reality series that starts streaming bi-weekly on April 29.
We aren’t building a baseball academy in a nice, quiet suburb. We’re building it on Bohol, a tropical island where the biggest threats to our practice schedule aren’t rain delays—they’re typhoons, earthquakes, and the occasional majestic (and terrifying) King Cobra.
For 60 episodes over 8 months, we’re documenting the whole chaotic, sweaty, heartfelt journey. And we’re inviting a few brave brands to come along for the ride.
This Isn’t a Commercial. It’s an Adventure You Fund.
Here’s the best part about sponsoring this madness: 100% of your investment goes directly to our Community Soup Kitchen. Your marketing budget doesn’t just buy an ad; it buys hot meals.
But let’s be honest, you’re also here for the exposure. And where else can your brand get exposure like this?
Forget sterile studio backgrounds. Your brand will be seen battling the elements, celebrating small victories, and being part of a story that actually means something. We have a few ways you can jump in.
Leave Your Mark on Every Episode
Maybe you want to be a foundational part of the story. We have two very exclusive, season-long spots for partners who want their names woven into the fabric of the show.
The Executive Producer sponsorship is $1,000 for the entire season and is strictly limited to two spots. You or your company will receive a dedicated, full-screen “Executive Producer” title card at the beginning of every single episode this season. You will also receive a top-line link in all YouTube descriptions, plus a custom, framed Bohol Coconuts jersey sent directly to you. This is for the true believer who wants their name synonymous with the story from start to finish.
The Associate Producer sponsorship is $250 for the entire season and is strictly limited to four spots. Your name will appear in the rolling end-credits of every episode this season. You will also receive an official club t-shirt and a personalized video shoutout from the team. It’s a simple, affordable way to support the dream and be part of every single episode.
Dress the Cast, Feed the Kids, Look Great Online
This is where things get really fun. Our hosts, Lerma and Coach Merv, need to look good while chasing pythons. That’s where you come in. If you have a streetwear, athletic, or boutique brand, we want to feature your gear on camera.
And for our U.S. brands, here’s a pro tip: You don’t need to navigate international shipping. Just mail your gear to our Texas address by March 21, and we’ll personally fly it to the set.
The “Official Fit” sponsorship is just $100 per episode and is your entry point. Send us gear for the hosts. In return, you get a full-screen “Clothes Provided By [You]” card at the start, an end-credit nod, and a verbal shout-out during the show. Simple, effective, and feeds seven kids for a week.
The “Fit Check” package is $150 per episode and turns your sponsorship into social media content. You get everything in the Official Fit package on YouTube, plus our team will film a dedicated, 15-second vertical “Fit Check” video tagging your brand. You can use it as high-quality, authentic user-generated content on your own TikTok or Instagram pages.
The “MVP Swag” package is $200 per episode and creates a genuinely heartwarming marketing moment. You get all the YouTube features of the base tier, but you ship one extra item. During your mid-roll shoutout, we will award that extra item to our “Coconuts Player of the Week” on camera. Your brand gets associated with a kid’s smile and a moment of pure joy.
The “Lookbook Takeover” is $350 for four consecutive episodes and is perfect for showcasing a seasonal line. Dress Lerma and Coach Merv for an entire month. You get four weeks of intro and outro credits and weekly verbal shoutouts, building real brand recognition through repeated exposure.
*Sponsors are responsible for the cost of the clothing and shipping to our Texas location before March 21. Please keep items lightweight, such as t-shirts, jerseys, light hoodies, and hats.
Got a Beat? We Need a Soundtrack.
Are you an independent hip-hop, reggae, or island-beat artist looking for a visual home for your music? We need you.
Forget paying for a generic stock track. Your music can be the heartbeat of an episode.
The Official Theme Song Slot is $100 per episode and gives your track serious airtime. Your music will be featured as the official 60-second intro theme song for one episode, plus a 90-second extended play during the end credits. That’s two and a half minutes of placement.
The “Spotlight” Mid-Roll is $150 per episode and adds a personal touch. You get the Intro/Outro theme song features, plus the host will give you a dedicated 10-second shoutout in the middle of the episode, displaying your album art on screen and pinning your Spotify or Apple Music link to the top of the comments section.
The “Viral Video” Package is $250 per episode and is the ultimate artist promo. You get the Spotlight package on YouTube, plus our team will film a dedicated 15-to-30-second TikTok or Instagram Reel of the Coconuts players warming up or hitting baseballs to your track, tagging your account. This is basically a cheap music video shoot on a tropical island.
The Label Takeover is $350 for four consecutive episodes and is perfect for independent record labels or management teams. Secure an entire month of intro and outro theme song slots to cycle through your roster of artists. Four episodes, four different artists from your label get featured.
The First Episode is April 29. Don’t Watch from the Sidelines.
Spots are limited. The U.S. shipping deadline is looming. And there’s only one first season.
This isn’t just about buying airtime. It’s about joining a crew. It’s about putting your brand on a jersey, in a jungle, on a mission to build something real for 70 kids who just want to play baseball.
