Whether you like it or not, as a sports professional, YOU WILL HAVE AN IMAGE. What it all boils down to is this: Will you create that image, or will you allow someone else to create it for you?
If you are willing to create an image yourself then you need to know how to develop it and maintain it. Sports Media Challenge can help develop your true image that delivers consistently for you and those people and organizations you represent including those who count on you including both yourself and those people and organizations who you represent..
Our Philosophy:
Sports Media Challenge believes in developing the genuine image not a phony facade. By being saddled with a truly manufactured image, people under pressure are bound to crack. We incorporate your brand image as part of your overall marketing strategy.
Our Approach:
Developing a certain public image is like a big puzzle whose pieces have to be carefully combined to form the desired representation. Sports Media Challenge evaluates the coherence between your present public image and that which is desired and then carefully identifies ways to cultivate it into one clear marketing message. Following are pieces of the public image puzzle that we focus on.
Performance
Identify means to maximize your marketing message as an athlete, coach or executive. Athletic, coaching or business performance is your identity and this is where your image is established.
Appearance
Develop the appearance that matches your image goals. The way you look and carry yourself conveys an instant message about who you really are.
