Why Focus on Public Relations and Media? Isn’t Sponsorship and Branding More Important?
We believe that public relations and media are the foundation of an athlete’s career success. A strong media presence not only attracts top brands and sponsors but also opens doors to bigger endorsements, high-profile tournaments, and enhanced opportunities. Without effective PR and media strategies, it’s challenging to build a sustainable brand or secure the right sponsorships. In essence, PR and media are the key drivers for everything else in an athlete’s career.
