Not sure if you were responding to me, but I wasn't trashing anyone, simply expressing from experience where the more gratifying relationships seem to be from a sponsor perspective.
And it's true that the Sachs team is on a different level, but the opportunities for promotion created by social media are equally important (and equally available) whether you're established or just starting out. It just takes time, effort, and some creativity. The most successful grassroots teams have a cohesive image, 'message' and culture that is much more important to capturing eyeballs than a focus purely on results.
Just my 2｢.

If development is your focus, you must consider the time sink that it is going to be to do it right. Trash the Seniors and Masters all you want, but the right group of cats will manage themselves.
