Agents,
but with taste.

Somm is a sponsorship agent. It reads Qloo's cultural taste graph to find the brands a podcast, tour or team's fans already love, says no to the deals it can't prove, and shows the receipt for every number.

How Somm decides

  1. 1

    Reads the fans

    It turns your show, lineup or roster into Qloo entities and builds a fingerprint: who the fans are, where they live, what else they love across music, TV, podcasts and brands.

  2. 2

    Pairs the brands

    For each sponsor category it finds the brands those fans over-index for, then scores each one from five Qloo signals: affinity, love back, age and gender match, geography and momentum.

  3. 3

    Refuses what it can't prove

    Code, not the model, blocks category conflicts and age-restricted deals it can't clear. Pitches are claim-checked: any number without a Qloo receipt is struck before it ships.

Checked against real deals

We tested Somm on 202 real sponsorships across 24 podcasts, festivals and teams, with the method fixed before the first run. What we found: today's sponsors are no better matched to their fans than brands in the same category that didn't sign. Sponsorship money isn't following taste yet.

Your agent can ask too

Somm runs on Qloo's official MCP server and exposes its own: fan fingerprints, sponsor prospects, fit scores and offer reviews, each with receipts and a link to the full report.
