While sponsoring Tiger Woods or Roger Federer is most likely way outside of your budget.
Athlete sponsorship can be more accessible than you’d think.
On this episode, I chat with Andrew Stallings from the Athelo Group, about how he identifies opportunities, what areas are undervalued, and why the talent story is more important than their Instagram followers.
Andrew Stallings, Founder / Head of Partnerships of the Athelo Group, is a 10+ year Sports and Entertainment Professional that has worked in many realms of the industry from Media (SiriusXM Radio) to Sponsorship and Brand Strategy (Octagon / AB InBev).
After working with a wide variety of pro athletes for several years, I discovered a need for niche category athletes in terms of 360 management, creative strategy, and partnership consulting + execution.
With Athelo Group, we pride ourselves on working with athletes in Action Sports, UFC, Motorsports, and other rising properties by offering a vast and extended array of services that are beneficial to both the athletes we represent and brands we consult for.
