Help Daniel take Australia to the world stage.
DANIEL SHLIMAK, a 15-year-old athlete, has earned selection to represent Australia at the
2026 WKF World Championships in Poland.
1 of 32 Australians.
Daniel, like many elite amateur athletes, is self-funded. Rather than seeking traditional sponsorship,
we're looking to build genuine partnerships with businesses that see value in supporting
a young Australian on this journey,
while creating meaningful opportunities for their own brand.
Ten Years of work for one extraordinary opportunity.
Daniel began karate at four years old. What started as a childhood sport has become a disciplined
international pathway built on training, resilience, travel and commitment.
More than a sponsorship request
This is an opportunity for a business to align with a genuine young Aussie athlete and
share a story of preparation, ambition, family commitment and representing his country.
Why partner with Daniel.
This isn’t about placing your logo on a uniform.
It’s about aligning your business with a genuine story of discipline, resilience and achievement that customers actually want to follow.
Daniel’s journey creates authentic opportunities to tell your brand story through professional content,
real experiences and meaningful community engagement.
Whether your goal is to build brand awareness, strengthen customer relationships, create engaging content or demonstrate your support for young Australian talent, every partnership is tailored to create value for both your business and Daniel.
If that’s the kind of partnership you’re looking for… here’s what the journey looks like.
Who this partnership is perfect for:
Businesses wanting authentic content.
Businesses wanting to support Australian sport.
Businesses wanting to engage families and young athletes.
Businesses wanting a long-term ambassador rather than a one-off advertisement.
Businesses that value authenticity over influencer marketing.
Our Approach.
Every business is different.
Rather than offering fixed packages, we work with each partner
to create a collaboration that delivers genuine value.
The best partnerships are those where both Daniel and your business grow together.
Built around the right fit.
Every partnership can be tailored around what matters most
to the business, its audience, and its brand.
As simple as 1, 2, 3 or as comprehensive as you need.
Choose one. Combine all three. Build something unique.
