NextUp Partners Helps Innovative Brands Build Business Utilizing Our Unmatched Team of Leaders From Across the Industry
Why NextUp Partners
The sports world is forever changed. Navigating today’s landscape amidst the COVID-19 pandemic continues to present real-time challenges to leagues, teams, brands and startups. As a result, the way we evaluate, invest, strategize, activate and engage consultants and agency partners across the sports industry must also evolve.
We believe the current agency model no longer meets the shifting needs of today’s emerging brands and properties. Gone are the days of inflated retainer costs and agencies piecing together an account team of staffers and consultants who lack the true hands-on experience needed to thrive in today’s dynamic sports landscape. The NextUp Partners team consists of a cadre of senior and mid-level executives with decades of proven success across sports leagues and teams, leading and emerging brands, creative agencies and startups. 
Our extensive network of deep sports industry relationships and unmatched strategy and activation experience can help streamline decision making and maximize profitability.
We are uniquely positioned to build a customized resource model, matching your company with the right team of consultants, for the right number of hours, with the right budget to elevate your business to the next level.
