About us

Elevating athletes in and beyond sport

We're a little different (in all the best ways)

We've been shaking up the brand and sponsorship landscape for nearly a decade.

Our mission is to put real knowledge and skills straight into the hands of athletes so they can build their own brand.

We take a holistic approach that empowers athletes to harness their uniqueness and connect with opportunity.

Elevating athletes in and beyond sport.

We're different because we educate athletes. We don't manage or represent them.

We know that athletes can do anything they put their mind to, including building their own brand. Our education teaches them how to do just that.

When athletes are in control of their own brand, they get to write their story, pick up transferable skills, nurture and grow their network and prepare for life beyond sport. That's why we put them in the drivers seat of this journey.

Athletes are surrounded by opportunity.

their brand shines a light on the opportunities that are uniquely right for them.

Kelsey Cottrell,

Lawn Bowler

"Building my brand was an important step in changing peoples perception of me from that of a young kid, to a professional athlete and an advocate for change in bowls.

I needed to fully understand my brand and what I had to offer before any of this could be possible."
