With a new bill that now allows elite student-athletes to earn through sponsorship agreements and endorsement deals with commercial brands before they go professional, NIL Management, a full-service talent management company based in Columbus, Ohio comes in full force to help college and professional athletes monetize their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). Since last year, the company has quickly established itself as a leading player in the industry, with over 50 top NCAA NIL clients and deals worth two million dollars with reputable brands.
This year, founder Zach Beebe plans to continue expanding its reach across the nation and setting the blueprint for excellence in the NIL management space. In just one and a half years since opening its doors, the company has negotiated over two million dollars worth of deals for its clients with reputable brands such as Bose, Mcdonald’s, Coca-Cola, American Eagle, and many more.
The company has a team of professionals fully equipped to manage top athletes and expertly helps them monetize their NIL and make profitable connections that ensure success in their business aspirations beyond their respective sports.
In addition to its impressive list of clients, NIL Management recently announced a significant partnership that will help transcend the NIL marketplace for athletes and their fans while also playing a part in Ohio State being the #1 NIL school in the nation. With over 50 Top NCAA NIL Clients such as Heisman hopeful CJ Stroud, TreVeyon Henderson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cade Stover, and Tommy Eichenberg, NIL Management is leading the industry in the country.
“Our true passion is connecting our amazing athletes with well-thought-out brand partners! Financial literacy is key,” shared Beebe.
One of the things that sets NIL Management apart from its competitors is its client-oriented approach. “We are very non-transactional. We view each male and female client as not only a client but family. We also love working with their parents/ inner circle,” Beebe explained. “None of this could be possible without my business partner Ed Brown. He has been an attorney for over thirteen years, greatly benefiting the brands we work with, our clients, and their parents. It helps to protect, educate, and expedite these big brand partnerships while providing max ROI,” he added.
There’s so much to look forward to from NIL Management this year but one thing is for sure, they maintained the momentum last year and propelled to even greater heights they never knew could happen. This year will be much bigger for Beebe, his team, and the rest of the aspiring athletes behind NIL Management.
