Connecting Brands With Athletes From

NFL/NCAA NBA/WNBA CrossFit Combat Sports Endurance
The Gatekeeper Problem

You Can't Just "DM"
A Champion.

Partnering with high-level athletes provides an ultimate "halo effect" for your brand. But securing these deals is a nightmare. DMs go unread, agents ignore cold emails, and if you do get a response, the asking price is often inflated by 300%.

Worse, many brands pay massive flat fees for a single Instagram post, resulting in a vanity spike but negative ROI. You need a partner who negotiates for eCommerce performance.

The "Whitelisting" Secret

We don't just buy a post on their feed. We secure "Whitelisting Rights." This allows us to run targeted Facebook and TikTok ads from the athlete's actual social media handle, multiplying your ROAS instantly.

The eComHoard Playbook

  • Scouting & Vetting

    We bypass the fake followers. We analyze audience demographics to ensure the athlete's fans match your ideal customer profile (ICP).

  • Contract Negotiation

    We negotiate past the agents to secure performance-based deals (Base + Affiliate %), usage rights, and guaranteed deliverables.

  • Campaign Activation

    We provide the creative brief to the athlete, ensuring the content is structured to sell (hooks, CTAs) rather than just looking cool.

Locker Room FAQ

How much do athletes charge?
It varies wildly. A local D1 College athlete might accept a $500 product package + affiliate link. A mid-tier pro might want $2k-$5k per post. Top-tier stars are $50k+. We focus on finding the "undervalued" athletes where the engagement-to-cost ratio is highly profitable for your brand.
What is NIL?
NIL stands for "Name, Image, and Likeness." Recent rule changes allow college (NCAA) athletes to profit from their personal brand. This has opened up a massive opportunity for brands to sponsor highly influential young athletes before they turn pro.
Do you guarantee sales from an athlete post?
No agency can guarantee sales from a single organic post. That's why we emphasize Whitelisting. By securing the rights to run paid ads from the athlete's account, we guarantee targeted reach and predictable scaling based on data, not just hoping a post goes viral.
