After researching ideal companies within the Sports Marketing and Sponsorship field that I would like to someday be employed with, I came across Octagon. Here are a few interesting facts about the award winning company, with locations in the US; Virginia and Connecticut; Brazil, Australia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.
Octagon is the world’s largest sponsorship consulting practice and a pioneer and leader in athlete & personality representation & management. With more than 800 employees globally, Octagon manages/influences billions in worldwide sponsorship rights fees and activation. They track passion and the emotive power of sports and entertainment content in order to create measurable awareness and loyalty of fans.
The company has been around for over 40-years and represents the notion that they know the industry and the corporate marketplace better than anyone. They truly believe that no matter what sport or area of entertainment, their creative and collaborative approach combined with their trademark passion will continue to set them apart from the competition. All operational tactics are derived from within. Octagon owns and manages many of the world’s most prominent professional sports events, including premier tennis and golf tournaments, and some of the world’s largest marathons. There are more than 13,400 events managed per year. The Sports Business Awards named them “Sports Agency of the Year” in 2008.
Octagon represents NBA stars like: Stephen Curry, Rudy Gay, David West and Kirk Hinrich. Also, NFL, MLB and Soccer stars like: Justin Tuck, Willie Parker, LaMarr Woodley Andrew Johnston, Jeffren Suarez, David Ospina and Emilio Nsue. Our event producers and directors are some of the finest in the world whose credits include: The Emmys, The Neighborhood Ball with President Obama, The American Music Awards, The Academy of Country Music Awards, America, The Radio Music Awards, The Source Awards, the BET Hip Hop Awards, and Miss USA.
I became highly attached to this company because they are extremely versatile. Although they have been around for 4-decades, other sports marketing and sponsorship companies have had the opportunity to enter the global realm of this field, but no other company has ever exceeded the 360-entertainment representation approach of Octagon. This company is truly a well-rounded entity.
Passion. Engagement. Results.
