Sports agency IMG has expanded its entertainment practice by signing its first rock/pop music client, the Irish four-piece band The Corrs, for endorsement, sponsorship and music licensing work.

The group, sisters Andrea, Caroline and Sharon and their brother, Jim Corr, has sold more than 27 million albums worldwide since its 1995 debut.

"We have produced pop acts and we are the largest manager for classical musicians

... but this is really the first time we have ever represented a pop group on an exclusive basis for endorsements and tour sponsorship," said Peter Johnson, IMG senior corporate vice president, who oversees team sports and sales and marketing for the company's many athlete clients.

IMG's clients include Tiger Woods, Venus and Serena Williams, Derek Jeter, Vince Carter and Peyton Manning.
