Hello potential AAG partner,
The above posting is commonplace in the sports and entertainment
arena that I have been blessed to play in and that Allied Athlete Group
lives in. The social media age has blurred the line between real factual
media accounts and individual grievances from employees or contractors
who lost an opportunity to be a part of something that they saw initial
value in. We understand the emotions involved in our seperation
with this individual and the dynamics of our current media marketplace.
In other words, we understand the game that influencers and the
businesses that deal with infleuncers play in.
Allied Athlete Group is a resource for professional athletes
interested in maximizing on the leverage created during his or her
professional sports career. As a resource we provide a concierge for our
athlete members.We ourselves do not provide financial services
or assist athletes in managing finances. We have an annual
dues structure for all athlete members that equates to about $83 a month
until the value proposition deems and increase. This membership fee
goes into building annual programs like the AAG Power Lunch (pics)(http://georgia.exclusiveaccess.net/content/2010/02/07/allied-athlete-group-lunch/), The Allied Angels Program (www.prweb.com/releases/2010/06/prweb4181084.htm) , The Allied Angel House Program , The Franchise Summit www.franchise.org/Franchise-News-Detail.aspx?id=50484 and
the many other programs that are geared towards education and
networking with the ultimate goal of leveraging future opportunities
with corporations and the right individuals. Other than our athlete
owners who own stock in our organization we bare no comparison to the
usual suspects who are looking for the athletes dollars. Yes, a weekend
of comradery based events was conducted in Miami for the 2010 Super
Bowl. It included the AAG PowerLunch, Gifting Lounge and 4 days of
events at the AAG Landing Pad (a licensed relationship with the Coliseum
Enterprises Landing Pad Hospitality Marketing Platform.) (http://georgia.exclusiveaccess.net/content/2010/02/07/aag-dinner-party/ ) .
The weekend was a huge success and has led to many corporate and
athlete requests for participation in this year's event. As far as
things changing during the weekend, yes, we parted ways with a "Proof
Marketing" event planner. Other than the confusion involved with sorting
out the midflight adjustments that went along with that shuffle, the
event was seamless. For Miami Superbowl sponsor references please email mstone@alliedathletegroup.com.
I will also refer you to the 2 postings above from the DJ and Chef that
were the two named "ripped off"vendors. The proceeding posts were made
by the DJ and the chef a couple of days following the event and our post
event records show that all bills accumulated during the event were
paid in full.
Note:
My
past life as an athlete has taught me to respond to words with defining
actions and ignore the political gesturing pertaining to presenting an
external image. As I am learning through my experience as a CEO; image
plays a much larger role in the corporate world that it did in the,
actual fact, world of sports where if you out work, you win, no matter
who thinks that you should not be crowned.
Thank you for your time and please reach out if you have any further
questions. Also reach out if you would like any athlete of corporate
references.
