Youth Athlete Promotion on Social Media

Hi! I’m looking to hire someone immediately to help promote my son, Keagan, who is currently competing in the 2026 Youth Athlete of the Year competition.

We have only 6 days remaining in this round, and supporters are allowed to vote every day, so I need someone who can treat this like a short, aggressive social media campaign rather than a one-time promotion.

Our goal is to get Keagan in front of as many real people as possible, drive them to his official competition page, get them to vote, and then encourage them to come back and vote again each day for the remainder of the round.

I’m looking for help with:

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, and other relevant social platforms
Reels, Stories, posts, short-form videos, and shareable graphics
Outreach to influencers, sports pages, soccer pages, parenting pages, local Texas pages, and community accounts
Legitimate DM outreach where appropriate
Getting large pages or influencers to share Keagan’s campaign
Driving real visitors to the voting page
Building a daily reminder strategy so supporters vote again each day
Retargeting/re-engaging people who already interacted with the campaign
Creating urgency around the final 6 days
Tracking clicks, engagement, traffic, shares, outreach, and results

Official voting page:

https://athleteoftheyear.org/2026/keagan-9311

Keagan is a youth soccer player from Texas, so soccer fans, sports families, youth athletics, Texas communities, parents, coaches, athletes, and sports influencers would all be relevant audiences.

Important: Everything must be legitimate and comply with the competition rules. We do not want bots, fake accounts, automated voting, fake engagement, or anything that could risk disqualification.

When responding, please tell me:

What you can do specifically over the next 6 days
How you would get people to vote today and then return to vote daily
Which platforms you would focus on
What size audience or reach you believe you can generate
Whether you have influencer/page outreach capabilities
Whether you can create the social content as well
How you track clicks, engagement, and results
Examples of similar short-term campaigns you have promoted

I need someone who can start immediately and actively work the campaign every day for the next 6 days.

This is not a “make a few posts” job. I’m looking for someone who can help us create real momentum, consistent exposure, daily voting reminders, and as much legitimate reach as possible before the round closes.

The marketer should also expand outward from these into San Antonio/Texas parenting creators, youth-sports accounts, soccer trainers, soccer clubs, athlete pages, family creators, and community pages. The ask should be simple: share Keagan’s story, link to the official voting page, and remind followers that they can return and vote daily through the end of the round.

Track each account in a sheet with handle, follower count, contact method, date contacted, response, price/request, posted/not posted, link used, and results so you can tell which influencers actually generate traffic and votes.

* Any software intended to generate votes

The official rules specifically state that bot activity and robotic or automated voting mechanisms are not accepted.

The competition may also take action against competitors whose entrants encouraged, solicited or knowingly participated in fraudulent voting.

### 2. NO fake voters or fake accounts

Do not create or obtain fake identities/accounts for the purpose of generating votes.

Every person voting should be a legitimate individual using the competition's approved voting process.

All campaign messaging should be truthful.

# IMPORTANT DISTINCTION

We are hiring you to:

**MARKET KEAGAN → REACH REAL PEOPLE → ASK THEM TO VISIT THE OFFICIAL SITE → LET THEM CHOOSE TO VOTE**

We are NOT hiring you to:

**GENERATE VOTES YOURSELF THROUGH AUTOMATION, FAKE ACCOUNTS OR MANIPULATION.**

Traffic, impressions, influencer outreach, shares and legitimate audience growth are the objective.

Every actual vote must go through the official competition voting system.

---

# APPROVED CORE MESSAGE

# WHEN IN DOUBT

If a marketing tactic involves:

* Automated voting
* Fake users
* Circumventing voting limits
* Purchasing guaranteed votes
* Manipulating verification
* Joshua's money being used to buy votes

**DO NOT DO IT.**

If the tactic involves:

That is the type of marketing campaign we are looking for.
