The awareness problem
Make the possibility visible.
U.S. specialty-equipment retail sales reached $52.65 billion in 2024. That is market context—not a viewership or audience claim.
Most drivers do not see how a need becomes a recommendation, how a product is selected, how professional installation protects the outcome or how manufacturers, distributors, restylers, dealers and consumers connect.

Before you decide
Partnership questions.
What responsibilities does a partner have?
Partner responsibilities are defined in the written agreement and may include providing accurate product information, approved brand assets, timely factual approvals, a primary contact, and any agreed product, access or promotional support.
Can I begin at one level and upgrade later?
Yes. When availability permits, eligible fees may be applied toward a higher partnership level during an agreed step-up window. The credit and remaining deliverables will be documented before the upgrade.
Can we also have a referral, JV or strategic-alliance relationship?
Yes. Sponsorships, referrals, joint ventures and strategic alliances may work together when there is a legitimate mutual fit, but they remain separate relationships. A company is never required to sponsor Restyling America to maintain a genuine referral or alliance relationship.
How do I know people will actually watch?
This is a new series, not an established audience buy. The filmed pilot and trailer show the production approach. Your proposal defines the content assets, usage rights, launch work and reporting you receive; views and audience growth are not guaranteed.
What will you do to build traffic?
Launch efforts may include full episodes, trailers and vertical clips; Restyling America’s website, email and social channels; AutoStyle Marketing’s established audience of restylers, upfitters and related businesses; featured-shop promotion through customers, dealerships and local markets; and voluntary amplification by participating manufacturers, distributors, creators, podcasts and industry organizations. Paid amplification is separately priced when appropriate. Outside participation, distribution, audience behavior, views, leads and sales cannot be guaranteed. No SEMA or SEMA PRO endorsement or promotion is promised.
Why not just buy ads or use established influencers?
Advertising and creators can provide reach or trust. Restyling America adds a coherent transformation story and reusable content that those channels can amplify.
Why invest before the series is proven?
An early partnership can include planning access, founding recognition and a defined set of assets your team can use. That value comes from the agreed work and rights—not a prediction of future audience size. If established reach is your main requirement, that trade-off matters.
What exactly is guaranteed?
The agreement defines the deliverables, usage rights, timing, launch actions and reporting we control. Third-party distribution, views, leads and sales are not guaranteed.
What if a planned integration is cut or the story changes?
The agreement can protect contracted value through an alternative episode, companion feature, standalone asset, comparable replacement or credit.
Will sponsorship turn the show into an infomercial?
No. Products must serve the real story. Partners do not purchase praise or editorial conclusions.
Do partners get approval or editorial control?
Partners may review product facts, claims, names, logos and brand accuracy within a defined window. Final editorial conclusions, participant opinions and truthful outcomes remain independent.
What usage rights are included?
Rights are defined by asset, format, channel, duration, geography and organic or paid use. Raw footage, broad paid rights, broadcast, sublicensing, major recuts and indefinite exclusivity are separately scoped.
Can competing brands appear?
No level includes automatic category lockout. Category priority or limited exclusivity requires a signed agreement defining category, term, scope and exceptions.
How is success measured?
Reporting may include views, watch time, retention, completion, engagement, tracked links, clicks, inquiries and partner feedback. Observed performance is not presented as a guaranteed business outcome.
Is an industry-association endorsement included?
No. Partnership levels do not promise endorsement, marks, sharing or promotion by SEMA or any outside association.
Start with fit—not pressure
Request a partner call.
Start with a short fit conversation to define the business goal, identify the strongest truthful story and choose the appropriate scope. If there is a fit, the next step is a written proposal covering deliverables, rights, timing, responsibilities, safeguards and measurement.
