Pro Athletes Taking Control of Their Brand Destiny
A candid discussion with professional athletes and marketers about the new ways athletes and brands are monetizing unprecedented global interest and engagement in sports. Athletes are now disintermediating the traditional media process by creating their own publishing businesses. Players have collateralized their future earnings by launching IPOs in their own image. Athletes have stepped behind the camera serving as CMOs and creative directors for brands, in addition to being the subject and promoter of original content. This panel will leverage the professional experience in sports, marketing and digital media from panelists driving new approaches in uncharted athletic monetization strategy.
