EGC Group Season 1 Episode 15

As college sports kick off this season, a new era of social media influencers has emerged: College athletes who capitalize on Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. In this episode of EGC’s Marketing Edge, our hosts Christina Botte (Director of Social Media and PR), Chris Canadeo (Director of Growth), and Max Ross (Digital Account Manager) dive into how NIL deals are transforming the influencer marketing landscape. We explore what this means for the future of sports and social media, and how athletes are becoming powerhouses beyond the field.
