The blending of athlete-brand partnerships with influencer deals is fascinating to watch. It's not just about traditional endorsements anymore; it's about creating authentic, engaging content that resonates on social media. Athletes are now able to build their personal brands and connect directly with their audiences in more meaningful ways. This shift is empowering athletes, even those outside the top leagues, to leverage their platforms and foster more genuine relationships with brands and fans alike. It’s a dynamic change that highlights the evolving nature of marketing and personal branding in the digital age.

As influencer spending rises, advertising dollars flow to emerging athletes with lower profiles. These athletes form influencer-like bonds with brands, leading to shorter, social media-focused deals without traditional team involvement. "We are seeing athletes operate much more like creators," says Sophie Berman, head of talent and influencer at Havas Play UK. This shift, driven by tighter budgets and rising athlete demand, creates lucrative, flexible opportunities for athletes to capitalize on their talent. #InfluencerMarketing #AthletePartnerships #BrandDeals #SocialMedia #EmergingAthletes #SportsMarketing #DigitalMarketing #AthleteInfluencers

Crown 'em! Big shoutout to Drew Muller, Samuel Gilbert, Ariese Bernard, and the whole HoH team for their continued success...staying so loyal to the HoH brand and audience. Going to cut and paste the part about Brand Partnerships...b/c what else would you expect? 😉 What does it mean for brand partners and advertisers? For brand partners and advertisers, the biggest difference is that it doesn't feel like you're just buying a niche audience or an influencer account. What has enabled HoH social sales to really take off is that we're now getting top of the funnel mass awareness campaigns for blue chip brands that want to spend millions of dollars to reach millions and millions of people. There isn't a better place to do that than on HoH Instagram. There's no account that is doing more scale and is able to deliver both for a sponsored perspective and a branded perspective to that large of an audience in the US. Marrying it with amazing creator relationships and our branded content studio, Playmaker, gives us the ability to master each type of top of funnel campaign but also get down to direct response campaigns and smaller brands that want to speak to a more targeted audience...
The Warner Bros. Discovery Sports company is the fastest-growing US sports media brand on Instagram for the last four years

Since this time last year, Natasha Valerie Sutedja and I have been able to 6x revenue at The Viralist Group. What's changed? We've doubled down on these three principles: 1. Walking away from brand sponsorships: We're in it for the long term: A $3,000 partnership means more commission in our pockets in the short term, but accepting deals that don't match our influencers' content or underpay our creators sets a bad precedent with brands for future partnerships. 2. Every contact is a potential for a long term relationship: Sales are becoming relationship-based. With the increasing supply of influencers, brand sponsorships are getting more and more competitive. Long-term, It is those with the best network that win 3. Be careful with the influencers you onboard: Every creator brings their own unique style to the agency, which is always a win. However, influencers with a poor work ethic (eg. submitting drafts late, unresponsive, etc) make it difficult to maintain a positive relationship with your brand contacts. They are small changes, yes, but implementing these core values have been pivotal in our growth this past year. #influencermarketing #creatoreconomy
