Meet Mathew
Hi, my name is Mathew Basso, I am 13 years old, live on the Mornington Peninsula (VIC) and I have been racing go-karts at a state level since I was 8 years old.
I have always loved racing cars and things that go fast, so when my parents bought me an electric go-kart for around the house at age 4, I instantly fell in love with the sport.
I now compete at the highest level and love the close racing that racing at this level brings.
When I’m not racing around a track, you’ll often find me playing tennis, riding my bike, and helping my Dad in the garage. I also like drawing, listening to music, and honing my driving skills on F1 2023 Xbox.
Together with my Karting achievements this year, I’m really happy to have recently been awarded an Academic Scholarship through to my VCE year.

Influencer
After just a short time in the Go Kart arena, I’ve gained quite a following and presence among my peers, followers, and across the Karting industry.
I have established a strong following and believe this will grow further as I progress my racing across Australia.
I can help entice Karters with the goods and services that make me and that could ultimately make them a Champion too!
Engagement
I can post regular business or company articles, present new products, product updates, product testing, and product reviews using my Social Media Platforms.
My aim is to work with you to develop a Social Media Strategy that works for you and your business. Together we can produce the content and I will do my best to get that message out.
Overall, the aim is to increase your Reach, Engagement, and Click-Through Rates for your products or services.
Brand Activation
While a sticker on a kart doesn’t really do much by way of advertising your business or the products it sells, I still believe that there are opportunities for Brand Promotion at both a State and National Level of racing that I attend.
We have a professional pit set up so the placement of banners, flags, brochures, fake tattoos, sticker giveaways, and other visual ideas will all work together to help build brand awareness to a demographic that will potentially purchase your product.
Thank you for taking the time to view my sponsorship proposal and I hope that I have been able to communicate to you the value that I may be able to add to your business.
If you would like to discuss how we can collaborate together to form a mutually beneficial and rewarding partnership arrangement, please contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you soon with any questions or feedback that you may have.
Massive thank you to all my partners and supporters
