What is nil?
Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) refers to the rights of collegiate student-athletes to profit from their personal brand. With recent changes in legislation, athletes can now engage in partnerships and endorsements, allowing businesses to connect with these talented individuals. This creates a unique opportunity for brands to amplify their visibility and reach through authentic storytelling and community engagement.
How it works
At the Zags NIL Collective, we facilitate strategic partnerships between businesses and student-athletes. Our team helps businesses develop tailored content and campaigns that align with their brand’s objectives. We guide you through the entire process, from finding the ideal athletes to collaborate with to creating impactful content that resonates with your target audience.
