A couple of weeks ago, I linked to the official press release that documented the merging of a baseball agency (Legacy Sports Group – principals: Greg Genske, Scott Parker and Brian Peters) and a marketing agency (The Agency Sports Management – principals: Jordan Bazant, Kevin Canning, Peter Raskin, Russ Spielman, Andrew Witlieb) to form a brand new entity (The Legacy Agency aka TLA).
TLA was co-founded by Chief Executive Officer Mike Principe (formerly Managing Director of Blue Entertainment Sports Television (BEST) and EVP of SFX Sports Group) and Non-Executive Chairman Bart Campbell (Chief Executive of the Sports Marketing and Management business Essentially Group). The company’s headquarters are in New York, but will also maintain offices in Newport Beach, Houston, San Francisco, Charleston, SC and London.
I recently received TLA’s roster of over 225 clients. Here are some of the more notable athletes represented by the new agency (for team contract negotiation and/or marketing)
