Athlete Speakers Bureau assists companies and individuals with booking athletes for speaking engagements and appearances. CTO Anthony Fernandez and his team have built relationships with players, agents, publicists and managers over the last few years. The launch of AthleteSpeakers.com looks to create a more open and positive experience in the athlete booking business.
The site allows users to search based on the desired talent and budget. There are many categories to specify your search such as Christian athletes, Hall of Famers, Sports Writers and more. There are over 5000 athletes on the site, which allows potential buyers to have more information on the sports celebrities that fit what they’re looking for.
Athlete Speakers also hopes to create more transparency in the talent procurement industry. “One of the biggest frustrations we face is that there is still a misconception that these athletes and celebrities are unattainable,” said Fernandez. They have a blog that updates the public on what athletes are up to and recent appearances/speaking engagements. The blog will inform fans where the athletes are appearing to connect fans with the potential to meet them. These include events put on by other companies.
The site and blog both allow the buyer to be more knowledgeable but Athlete Speakers still maintains a hands-on approach to with all of their clients. “We work with our clients to give them recommendations based on crowd, budget, and location,” said Fernandez. “We have developed relationships with many different people which allows us the unique ability to get them to do different appearances.” After speaking with Anthony, it is no surprise that they have worked with celebrities ranging from Mark Cuban and Robert Herjavec to Magic Johnson and Tim Tebow.
