For rightsholders
Our global network generates long-term, successful partnerships between the world’s best athletes and brands. And we manage the career of athletes from being a rising star to become the number one in their field and beyond.
SPORTFIVE is the key partner of today’s top-tier rightsholders, helping them make the most of current opportunities to maximize their brand, thanks to our:
active brand contacts
sales experts in our global network
integration with local offices
The SPORTFIVE team has an enviable track record in identifying, negotiating and closing some of the most successful deals in the history of sports marketing.
Here’s legend of the industry and SPORTFIVE consultant Donald Dell, who was involved in two of the biggest sportswear deals the world has ever seen – Adidas Stan Smiths and the unparalleled Nike Air Jordan.
“We were arguing back and forth, and Peter Moore suddenly said something like ‘Air Jordan’. It just popped out of his mouth, and everybody was stunned. It was perfect. It was an endorsement, but it was so new and different, and it just caught on.”

We connect exceptional athletes with the world’s biggest brands for mutually beneficial, sustainable partnerships that get results.
What defines you as an athlete? What makes you unique off the pitch? What are your values and goals? We develop bespoke profiles, positionings and narratives for all our athletes, helping them to find suitable sponsors, while assisting with legal and contract negotiations.
We can organize everything from an athlete’s travels to their accounting and invoices, charitable activities and, where appropriate, the development of a foundation. Leaving the athlete free to focus on achieving sporting success.
Athletes’ clothing lines can be bestsellers – and we’re here to maximize our athletes’ personal brand: through bespoke apparel collections, signature sneakers or further merchandise opportunities.
Digital collectables can help athletes get closer to their fans and followers. SPORTFIVE can devise the strategic approach, creative execution and distribution of unique NFTs, through the right platform.
We have extensive expertise in creating, producing and publishing world-class content – working with our internal creative agencies, and leading original creators from all over the world.
To prepare athletes for press and media obligations, we provide expert media and PR training. SPORTFIVE can shape your professional communications and support you with ongoing public relations management.
We can help athletes with their professional as well as personal development. We offer training and coaching support for many sports, and access to leading sports psychologists. Being so in tune with our athletes’ development lets us adapt and improve and optimize sponsor and partner contracts.
For today’s sports stars, social media matters. We’re here to support athletes with all their day-to-day communication with fans and followers through social media and community management.
Through a localized brand-building and content strategy, we can enhance digital presence, boost athlete engagement outside their home markets – and make the most of commercial opportunities globally.
It feels good to give something back – so we work with athletes who are interested in starting their own foundation, and can help set up fundraisers for special causes too.
We're here to help our athletes bow out in style, with logistics and end-to-end organization, via guest and hospitality management, through to partner and sponsor involvement, for their final performance.
From the moment our athletes step off the pitch or court for the final time, we help them to remain relevant – through the right individual positioning, media and PR partnerships or testimonial deals.
