We are a team of seasoned sports and entertainment marketing executives and agents with over ninety years of combined experience.  We focus on partnership strategies, activation, athlete representation and management, public relations, and philanthropy.  We leverage this experience and our strategic business relationships to provide our clients unparalleled depth of service across a broad spectrum of the sports and entertainment marketing industry.

We are experienced marketers focused on advising clients on creating corporate strategies and programs that maximize partnerships to drive client’s business goals. We are strategists who build platforms and frameworks that guide major sponsorship programs that differentiate our client’s brands. We have a deep and broad specialization in the Olympic and Paralympic space.

We have a long history of working with athletes in all facets of their lives and have done hundreds of deals on their behalf. As sports marketing consultants we work with athletes primarily in two ways.  First, as athlete agents we directly represent a collection of elite athletes and manage their marketing, sponsorships, endorsements, publicity, public speaking and charitable associations.  Second, we have an extensive and constantly growing network of champion athletes from all different sports who we source to participate in a wide variety of speaking, appearances and marketing campaigns on behalf of our clients.

We work closely with our athlete clients to bring their unique and powerful stories to life by creating presentations that surprise, delight and inspire audiences of all types and sizes.  We work diligently with our athletes on their presentation and delivery skills.  Finally, we produce compelling marketing materials and proactively pitch them to strategically targeted markets. Contact the Director of Speaker Services, Suzanne Craig, to find the right speaker for your upcoming meeting or event.
