NCLUSIVE Sports has announced that it has signed Denver Broncos star running back Montee Ball as a client for marketing, public relations and digital branding. The Hollywood-based sports marketing and branding firm will manage all marketing opportunities as well as the digital assets for the second-year NFL phenomenon. Ball, coming off a stellar rookie season, has hired NCLUSIVE Sports to build an interactive website, manage his social media platforms and media relations strategy.
“We are incredibly excited to be working with Montee in developing and growing his overall brand and digital presence,” says Justin Giangrande, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of NCLUSIVE Sports. “NCLUSIVE Sports is at the forefront of innovative marketing as well as the digital and online space, and we look forward to focusing our services on one of the leagues most electrifying young talents.”
In his first NFL season, Ball averaged 4.7 yards per carry with 559 total yards and four touchdowns. On December 1, 2013, Ball had the best game of his rookie season, with 13 carries for 117 yards, including a 45-yard run, which is the longest of his young career. Currently starting at running back for the Broncos, Ball is off to a great start with 172 total yards and a touchdown through two games.
“We see such potential in Montee,” says Giangrande. “To think of how early he is in his NFL career and what he has already accomplished in his collegiate career is remarkable. He is an incredibly personable and intellectual athlete who we feel will greatly benefit from our 360 approach.”
Ball, 23, was born in McPherson, Kansas and set the NCAA record for career rushing and total touchdowns with 77 and 83 respectively. In 2013 the Denver Broncos drafted Ball in the second round.
