Should You Hire Olympic Athletes? The Answer Is YES!
What a memorable 2 weeks for the U.S. Olympic Team in Rio! We saw old heroes a la Michael Phelps and Kerri Walsh-Jennings defy the odds for more Olympic Medals and newcomers like Simone Biles soar to new heights. These athletes are HOT and there’s never been a better time than now to hire Olympic athletes to motivate your audience at corporate events or help you build brand culture with a shiny new Gold Medal marketing plan!
What these athletes represent transcends beyond their sport. With the exception of a few outliers, Olympic athletes are positive role models who exhibit the type of hard work, perseverance, character and self-belief that inspires others to be the best version of themselves. When they talk, people listen. When they tweet, people listen. Olympic athletes are truly in a category of their own when it comes to the way they capture an audience.
So let’s break it down. If you’re company or organization who would like to hire Olympic athletes for meet & greets, keynote speaking engagements or marketing campaigns, who should you hire? The more important question is, who’s in my budget range? At Celebrity Speakers Bureau, we’re experts in matching your organization with top Olympic athletes in your budget range that can speak directly to the age and demographic of your audience.
Of course headlining Olympians like Michael Phelps, Simone Biles and Aly Raisman have great face value but also come with a higher price for personal appearances and marketing campaigns. But there’s also influential Olympic heroes such as Gold Medal decathlete Ashton Eaton, fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad or 43-year-old mother and 3-Time Gold Medal winning cyclist Kristin Armstrong whose stories really hit home with families back in the States. Some other great names from this year’s U.S. Olympic Team include sprinter Allyson Felix, distance runner Matthew Centrowitz, David Boudia and Anthony Ervin.
The best news is that your options don’t end with this year’s team! Olympic icons such as Mark Spitz, Mary Lou Retton, Greg Louganis, Carl Lewis, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Dara Torres, Dominique Dawes and more are still available for personal appearances and marketing campaigns today. Their legacies span decades which makes them able to relate to audiences of all ages and walks of life. Once a champion, always a champion!
