The Key to an Athlete’s Success Online – The Agent

Posted by Team UT on February 25th, 2009 Interactive, Sports Marketing

Our studio has been developing official websites for athletes for over 10 years now, and we’re often asked what the key to having a successful athlete site is – the answer without a doubt is the athlete’s agent.

I’d like to thank the FWA (Rob Ford and everyone else behind the scenes) for featuring my FWA STEAK wallpaper today! The idea and inspiration behind the wallpaper is kind of funny.

Yesterday morning i found myself walking through the snow and wishing there was a site i could go on to list these companies – and there you go, an online promo idea out of nowhere.
