“Athlo Agncy is a hidden gold mine! Digging deep to define my purpose in working with brands, as well as in life, is something I never knew I needed. Within 24hrs of my first product session with Athlo, I was able to form a partnership with a brand I likely wouldn’t have landed without knowing my purpose. Not to mention, this team has some of the most personable and kind people I have met. I can’t wait to see how I grow!”

As a D1 athlete who wants to begin to navigate NIL, but doesn’t know where to start, Athlo Agncy has allowed me to understand myself better, not only as an athlete, but also as a personal brand.

Meet the Team

Athlo’s goal is to combine performance and purpose to more powerfully position athletes as thought leaders, while empowering them to create opportunities that go beyond their sport. The agency’s Co-founders have 15+ years of combined experience in brand building, product development, digital marketing, and athletics.

Athlo Co-founder and branding expert, Aly Nauta, left her role as Digital Strategy Lead for Lululemon and began her own creative agency in 2014. Aly’s agency specializes in brand integration, disruptive digital marketing, and community activation. One of the many things that makes Connective Consulting unique is their Discover Session that takes place at the forefront of every client engagement. This very framework, rolled out to nationally known brands such as Nordstrom, Tony Robbins, Design Hotels and more, became the foundation for Athlo’s course, Brand on Purpose.

Athlo’s course combines both Aly’s branding expertise and Co-founder, Isaac Nauta’s experience as both a college and professional athlete, to help athletes truly tap into who they are off the field.

Isaac’s reputation as an All-American athlete began with his ranking as a 5-star recruit and #1 tight-end in the country while playing at both Buford High School and IMG Academy. He was then selected as an Army All-American and signed with the University of Georgia. Following Isaac’s career at UGA, he was drafted by the Detroit Lions, played with the Green Bay Packers and entered his fourth year in the league as a free agent. Off the field, his mission is to motivate others to be the best version of themselves, by challenging their thoughts and facilitating vision, to cultivate fulfilling opportunities through a winning mindset.

Athlo Co-founder, Jay Fuller, is at the forefront of implementing this product as a personal development tool within Universities and other athlete organizations. Jay decided to pursue his passion for athletics and majored in sports management at Ohio University. Prior to Athlo, Jay Co-founded and sold two small businesses and continues to consult for both Saas and tech startups with a focus on partnerships, strategy, and business development. Jay has activated partnerships with Men’s Health, GoPuff, NBA All-Star Weekend, and more!

This dynamic trio knows first hand the importance of understanding what you offer, knowing how to pitch it, and leveraging your reputation to impact in a big way.

What Pro Athletes Say

“Your personal brand is the who, what, and why that you want to portray to your fan base on and off the field. Your brand gives the fans an avenue to connect to you and support you. A strong personal brand gives you the ability to continue to give back long after you're done playing the game you love, and connects you to your fans for a lifetime. Athlo Agncy is an incredible resource to helping you build a sustainable brand.”

Logan Allen | Pitcher, Colorado Rockies

"To me, your brand is an example of how you portray yourself online, to the media, coaches, friends and family. A strong personal brand is absolutely essential to the development of your growth as an athlete, business owner, and human being. It's your online business card and a strong presence will give you more financial opportunity and like-ability in your community. Athlo Agncy is setting the branding standard for athletes who are beginning their journey to greatness."

FAQ's

We understand that your time is scarce and you’re being pulled in a million different directions. Balancing study halls, tutoring sessions, workouts, meetings and your social life can all be stressful, but setting yourself up for future success shouldn’t be. That’s why our course is mobile optimized and our pre-recorded lessons range from just 5-10 minutes.

We wanted to make it both easy and digestible for you to build your personal brand on-the-go. 

The course includes 90 minutes of interactive pre-recorded lessons as well as worksheets and resources to help maximize your outcome.

You’ll hear us say this a lot, preparation breeds confidence. Before successfully executing a play, you review a playbook. The same concept applies when successfully navigating and executing collaborations. 

When you understand what you offer and why you offer it, your unique value becomes evident to brands. When your value is clear, the possibilities are endless. This could look like better aligned partnerships,  more money to be negotiated, increased brand visibility, and campaign results that keep brands coming back for more.  

Some of the most meaningful deals to date have taken place with athletes that have a following under 10k. The micro-influencer trend has become popular within NIL because athletes with smaller followings come off as more genuine when promoting products.

Not to mention, NIL deals don’t just entail million dollar brand deals for 5-star recruits, monetary incentives to commit, or paid content opportunities found on marketplaces. NIL deals can include investment opportunities for your new business idea and potential job offers once your career as an athlete is over. 

Right now you’re relevant. People know your name and they’ll listen to what you have to say. But what happens when your career as an athlete comes to an end? A year later, someone new and exciting will have taken your place, and as harsh as it is to hear, your relevance will likely fade. 

Pitch your ideas while you can open doors most can’t. Build a platform while people care what you have to say. Create content for brands you’ve dreamed about working for. And leverage your relevance while you still have it. 

After the course you’ll feel empowered to leverage your personal brand in ways you haven’t thought about before. That awareness will generate endless opportunities with brands and partners you otherwise wouldn’t have pursued. Collaborations won’t feel like another daunting task, they’ll feel purposeful and fulfilling. Partnerships won’t just generate a few extra paychecks, they’ll result in more significant monetary value and possible job offers. 

The combination of your Brand Blueprint, personalized statements, and digital resume, will unlock the potential of your personal brand. 

And then what? As an agency, we don’t want anything from you. The goal of us existing, first and foremost, is to be an advocate of YOU. After the course, we want to support you on your journey by offering continued curriculum related to your learnings along the way. As we build out our monthly subscription platform, launching March 2023, subscribe for updates and first-time access.    

As a branding agency made up of creatives and developers, we offer individual services such as logo design, brand guide development, package design, content creation, business development, website development, and more!
