This Woman Needs Our Help

Posted by Team UT on March 20th, 2009   Inspiration

In today’s time of financial hardship, our hearts were touched when we learned the plight of this woman in an article in USA Today, who says she has no income and is going through a divorce. Her post-nup is only going give her $43 million, but luckily she’s going to court to get the amount she really needs to live on – $100 million and $130K per month in alimony

We all know how tough it can be to live on $53K per week in these tough times. For sure we can all relate to some of this woman’s weekly expenses: $700 for limousine service, $4,500 for clothes, $1,000 for hair and skin treatments, $1,500 for restaurants and entertainment, and $8,000 for travel.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers….

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.

Without the agent’s commitment to the internet, the athlete’s online presence is going to be second rate at best.
