The evolution of NIL
Good morning.
Did April just fly by for anyone else? Sheesh.
The focus is narrowing for our team as we are less than 100 days away from the start of the Paris Games.
Deal flow is increasing. Post Paris appearances are starting to be discussed. Media and interview requests by our clients are seeing a huge spike.
A few years ago our team set out to create a product that could help prepare any athlete to be "market" ready. That product is called "Brand Camp." Brand Camp helps take an athletes story and niche market attributes and weave it into a beautiful brand platform to help them capitalize on their NIL value.
Little did we know, Brand Camp by CG Sports would be extremely well setup to support the NCAA NIL market landscape.
Today, we have launched the brands of nearly 100 athletes and are giving them the tools that are often only available to the 1% of pros.
Check out the video I recorded about NIL resources at CG Sports, in this week's "Taylor Explains" section.
I'm happy that May gives us nearly 5 weeks of dealmaking time. There's still a lot of time left to drum up more business for athletes this summer and fall.
Time to lock in.
