The average pro career lasts only 3.8 years. We prepare our clients for their post-career from the moment they sign with us.
Whether a client’s player brand is established or in need of development, Buzz does what it takes to maximize income outside of your sport.
PHILANTHROPY
Athletes worldwide have become well-known for their philanthropic and volunteer efforts. It is a key aspect of the public image necessary to attract major sponsor and endorsement opportunities. Knowing the value in an athlete who makes a difference in the community, Buzz aligns clients with local organizations who focus on causes that mean the most to them.
PR
Our approach to Public Relations is to put a unique strategy in place for each one of our clients based on their interests, personality, personal narrative, and desired commitment. Taking these aspects into much consideration, we assist in building a sustainable image that compliments your lifestyle and positively builds your public image. In addition, we have relationships with mainstream and sports media outlets, as well as major television, film and music companies, which enable our clients to receive the best off – court coverage. If nightlife and red carpet events are your desire, Buzz has access to a variety of entertainment events in major cities across the country.
ENDORSEMENTS
After building your charity efforts and promoting your image off the playing field, we focus on endorsements and career transition services.
