As the General Manager of the Knights Table Collective, I am thrilled to share with you why Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) is not just a game-changer for student athletes, but also a golden opportunity for businesses to grow their brand like never before.
Here are 5 compelling reasons why your business should get involved with the Knights Table Collective and leverage the power of NIL:
Unmatched Reach and Engagement: Student athletes are social media stars in their own right, with massive followings and high levels of engagement. According to a recent study by Nielsen, college athletes have 3.6 times more social media followers than the average college student. By partnering with our Collective, your brand will gain access to this captive audience, allowing you to reach and connect with potential customers in an authentic and impactful way.
Increased Brand Exposure: Student athletes are widely recognized and admired figures on and off the field. Their achievements and successes garner attention from local, national, and even international media outlets. By aligning your brand with our Collective, you can tap into the spotlight and gain valuable exposure through media coverage, interviews, and other promotional opportunities. This heightened visibility can significantly boost your brand’s awareness and recognition among your target audience.
Enhanced Authenticity and Credibility: Student athletes are known for their hard work, dedication, and passion for their sport. When they endorse a product or service, their recommendations carry a high level of authenticity and credibility. According to a study by Kantar, 84% of consumers trust recommendations from athletes. By partnering with our Collective, your brand can leverage this trust and authenticity to build strong connections with your audience and establish your brand as trustworthy and reliable.
Diverse and Inclusive Partnerships: The Knights Table Collective is proud to represent a diverse group of student athletes from various sports, backgrounds, and communities. By collaborating with our Collective, your brand can showcase its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This can help you connect with a broader and more inclusive audience, and demonstrate your brand’s values and social responsibility, which is increasingly important for today’s consumers.
Long-term Brand Loyalty: When businesses invest in student athletes through NIL partnerships, it goes beyond a simple transactional relationship. By building meaningful and strategic partnerships with our Collective, your brand can cultivate long-term brand loyalty among our athletes, their fans, and the wider community. This can result in repeat business, positive word-of-mouth, and a strong brand advocate network that can benefit your brand for years to come.
