TORONTO – AthletesCAN, the association of Canada’s national team athletes and athlete marketing influencer partner FireWork are pleased to announce they will be co-hosting their next webinar on Athlete Monetization Best Practices.
The webinar will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, featuring FireWork Founder Nate Behar of the CFL’s Ottawa REDBLACKS, alongside Morgan Burkett, Head of Athlete Relations. Behar and Burkett will discuss how athletes can monetize their personal brand, create connections with prospective partners and tips for a successful campaign.
Previously, Behar and guest speaker Randy Osei of Athlete Technology Group and Rozaay Management teamed up on July 14 to educate AthletesCAN members on Personal Branding Best Practices, providing an overview for athletes how to create their own online persona. National team athletes can still take advantage of resources from the first webinar ahead of Part 2, including an intake survey designed to help create a personalized media kit.
FireWork collaborates directly with athletes to generate new digital brand and sponsorship opportunities that best align and allow for brand growth for both parties. The webinar series provides a key resource for athletes as part of AthletesCAN and FireWork’s ongoing two-year partnership.
National Team athletes wishing to participate in the Athlete Monetization Best Practices webinar can register for the event below.
