The deal is one of the first of its kind announced for Genies Avatar Agency, a creative marketing agency for digital avatars. The NFLPA brokered the partnership through its athlete-driven accelerator, OneTeam Collective.
“We are thrilled to be working with the NFLPA and OneTeam Collective,” says Allison Sturges, managing director, Avatar Agency. “Through this partnership, we’ll be able to offer players unprecedented experiences and benefits that they aren’t able to access in the real world. Genies have proven to be the ultimate branding experience for celebrities across the world, and our partnership is going to further that message this season.”
Avatars in the deal will be accessible through the “Genies” app. The deal sees players’ avatars as well as different digital apparel and actions become available through the app.
“We’re excited to team with Genies and explore even more opportunities for players and fans to express themselves through intelligent and dynamic avatars,” says Ahmad Nassar, president, NFL Players Inc., and chairman, OneTeam Collective.
