NIL & Sports Sponsorships: Win on Game Day, and Every Day

Sports have always been a powerful way to build brand affinity. But today’s playbook is evolving. From Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) sponsorships to high-impact OTT media buys and stadium activations, PrecisionLocal helps brands get in the game with strategies that drive measurable results.

Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) Sponsorships

NIL sponsorships allow brands to tap into the local star power of collegiate athletes, creating authentic connections with loyal fanbases. Whether you’re sponsoring a single athlete or building a campaign around a full roster, NIL gives your business the opportunity to:

  • Align with high-impact local influencers
  • Generate buzz across social media and digital channels
  • Build trust with a new generation of buyers
  • Drive foot traffic and measurable results in your local market

We’ll help you identify the right athletes, craft a compliant sponsorship strategy, and bring your campaign to life with video, social, and in-store activation.
