Why The Commercial Athlete Program?

Whether you're a Club, Players Association, National Governing Body, Sporting Federation or Player Management Agency providing expert Personal Branding education to the athletes you support is critical.

  • Your fans are 4x more likely to engage with your athletes' social accounts before your Clubs

  • If an athlete understands their brand they'll be better at promoting yours and being a positive club and sport ambassador

  • Educate your best sales tools (your athletes) with the why and the how to drive ticket sales, merchandise and attract sponsors

  • The larger the athlete profile the more fans and potential sponsors are attracted

  • Manage their wellness and transition by exposing them to dual career and post-career opportunities and networks

  • Give them the "why" on effectively engaging with your sponsors

  • By raising the profile of your athletes you in turn raise the profile of your club and affiliated sport

Highly recommend Agency X’s “Commercial Athlete” workshop. Carlie recently ran this workshop for the 2024 Sport Australia Hall of Fame Scholarship Holders – a group of elite junior athletes – and it was brilliant. The session was insightful and informative and gave the athletes practical advice on how to build their personal brand, manage social media, work with the media and everything in between. Carlie was engaging and dynamic and the content was all topical and relevant with real life examples which the athletes could easily relate to. The 2 hour session flew by! We will definitely be engaging Agency X to run this workshop for our Scholarship Holders again next year.

The Commercial Athlete Workshops run by Agency X opened my eyes to the opportunities and possibilities there are for every individual footballer to grow their brand through various avenues.

 

Carlie presented examples of successful athletes and ways to leverage yourself to the public. I wish I had this knowledge earlier in my career.

Loved every moment of it and would love to do another one in the near future on evaluating how we went with our branding.

 

Carlie was very engaging and you couldn't keep your eyes off of what she was talking about! She is a fantastic presenter and she really wants all of us to reach our potential.

The Agency X personal branding and social media workshops highlighted the opportunity for individual footballers to leverage professionally and financially from consciously managing their brand. 

 

In addition, Carlie painted a vision for the elite level football community to raise the stakes and produce better outcomes by setting new standards of engagement with networks.  Players walked away with an understanding of what to focus on and some simple next steps to take to start elevating their brand.

How We'll Teach Your Athletes

The sad irony is that in the past, your athletes brand and social media education has probably mostly consisted of telling them what not to do, by instructors who haven't worked in complex environments.

That doesn't work!

We help them to discover the "why" and show them from doing the right things and how to use the tools and framework what is achievable.

They learn using easy-to-follow content, educational videos, and engaging hands on activities.

Based on our experience and research, we've designed our program to be an optimal learning experience.
