Why ROX Academy Thinks It's Ready for a Brand Deal
Andrew Lee20 clinics. 500-plus players coached. A footprint across three cities. That is the case ROX Academy is putting in front of brands, alongside an open invitation to partner across apparel, equipment, nutrition, recovery, community and events.
A Young Academy Making a Fast Pitch
ROX Academy's own introduction post on Instagram is dated 11 July 2026, captioned "today, I'm proud to introduce ROX Academy." In the weeks since, the account says it has run 20-plus clinics, coached 500-plus players, and taught across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Bangkok.
Head coach Shaun Pickering holds IPTPA Level 1 and Level 2 certification and has international competition experience, including at WPC Vietnam. He was separately described as having coached over 500 players in a post from 16 July, days after ROX Academy's own introduction post, suggesting that coaching history extends beyond this one account's own short posting history.
A DUPR-Tracked Base With Real Buying Power
The academy's player base is DUPR-tracked, split roughly 50-50 between men and women, spanning ages 8 to 70, and skews affluent with real spending power, exactly the kind of profile a brand partner would want to reach.
What Brands Would Actually Be Buying Into
The pitch itself is direct: apparel, equipment, nutrition, recovery, community, and events. ROX frames it as wanting a real hand in building something in the sport, not a logo on a banner, and the academy is still actively expanding, with clinics running in Bangkok as recently as this week.
