Build & enhance brand

It's not just your player's social media presence that's significant. As an agency, you also need to be active on various social media channels to achieve greater awareness of your brand. You can benefit enormously from the reach of the players. There is also the opportunity, in the B2B sector, to establish initial contact with potential sponsors. Some agencies have already realized to profitably place their own brand on social media. Don't miss this step and the connection to your competitors.

Attract new sponsors for players

Authenticity and reach are the be-all and end-all as messages of a brand. The greater the number of a player's fans, the more interesting the player is for sponsors. Professionally managed social media channels with a consistent post frequency sustainably increase the reach and engagement of users. Companies take a close look at the accounts of their potential partners and quickly recognize the potential - or not. With strategically managed player channels, we offer sponsors suitable testimonials for their products or services.

Retain existing sponsors of the players

For companies, the authentic and professional placement of the product or service on their advertising partner's channels is crucial.

This results in a strong and sustainable relationship with the cooperation partners.

Increase market value of the player and the agency

It's no secret that an enormous number of fans on social media has an impact on the market value of the player and thus the agency. For clubs, the channels of their players in social networks are not insignificant. They represent the club to the outside world and thereby increase brand awareness at the same time. Accordingly, the player makes a decisive contribution to the so-called employer brand of the club. In transfer and contract negotiations, social media channels can have an impact on redemptions and salaries. Together, we increase the market value of the player in the long term, which in turn increases the value of your agency.
