The customized portal enhances communication and simplifies the process, while the Influencer app showcases additional opportunities. This partnership promises to elevate GSU athletes’ personal brands and streamline transactions for tax reporting.
Exciting New Venture for Student-Athletes in Atlanta!
Atlanta has just become a buzzing hub for student-athletes, as Georgia State Athletics introduces the GSU Panthers’ Exchange. This innovative program, under the guidance of Athletics Director Charlie Cobb, is all about unlocking amazing Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities for young athletes across campus. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!
What is the GSU Panthers’ Exchange?
The GSU Panthers’ Exchange is a brand-new partnership with Teamworks Influencer, a celebrated name in the world of athlete branding. This platform is set up to help student-athletes connect with local businesses eager to work with them. Whether it’s through social media promotions, endorsement deals, or even signing autographs, the possibilities are endless!
Best of all, this program is completely free for both student-athletes and businesses. You heard that right—no costs involved!
A Customized Portal for Seamless Communication
The Exchange features a customized portal designed to make communication as smooth as butter. Businesses that sign up get access to a database filled with Panther student-athletes, which they can search through using various criteria. This means that finding the perfect athlete for your brand just got a whole lot easier!
How cool is that? Businesses can directly message athletes or even ask for their contact information. However, it’s important to note that neither Influencer nor Georgia State Athletics will meddle in any NIL negotiations. They’re simply there to facilitate connections.
Discover Opportunities through the Influencer App
On top of all that, the Influencer app acts as a treasure chest for student-athletes looking for opportunities from third-party businesses. From personal appearances to camp promotions, this app showcases the whole array of possibilities that await at their fingertips.
Once an NIL agreement is in place, the Exchange makes sure that the transaction process is streamlined. This means ensuring that athletes get paid directly and that the GSU Compliance Office gets notified automatically. Talk about efficiency!
Simplified Tax Reporting?
Both businesses and student-athletes will appreciate the end-of-year convenience too. All transactions will be compiled into a single 1099 form for easier tax reporting. No more headaches when tax season rolls around!
A Partnership that Goes Beyond Numbers
Georgia State’s partnership with Teamworks Influencer means access to a platform that supports over 3,500 collegiate and professional sports teams and boasts more than 70,000 active athlete users. This means GSU athletes will have all the resources they need to enhance their personal brands and online presence.
Boosting Engagement and Assessing Performance
The Influencer platform also provides a content delivery system that features media, photography, videos, and analytics. This system is invaluable in helping student-athletes track their audience engagement, giving them insights that can improve their visibility and marketability.
A Bright Future Ahead!
The information gathered will also be instrumental for Georgia State. It will assist in analyzing the factors affecting attendance at games, recruiting strategies, fan engagement, and even fundraising efforts. The future looks brighter than ever for GSU athletics, and it’s fantastic to see such a robust effort made for its student-athletes!
