Hester Inks Representation Deal For Off-
Field Marketing With PPI And Evolution |
Star Bears kick returner DEVIN HESTER has signed a deal to be jointly represented by PPI Marketing and Evolution Management & Marketing LLC for off-the-field deals, including endorsements, promotions, speaking engagements, and media opportunities. KRIS CUMNOCK from Dallas-based PPI and JOSH SCHWARTZ and BRIAN SAMUELS from N.Y.-based Evolution will represent Hester in all off-the-field work, except for memorabilia. Veteran NFL player agent EUGENE PARKER will continue to represent Hester in NFL playing contract negotiations. “The reason we signed him is we think he is one of the premier show-stoppers in the NFL right now and we think he makes a really good addition to a sponsors’ activation plans, both in Chicago and nationally,” Schwartz said. “Right now, he holds the record for the second most return touchdowns in the history of the NFL and he has only been in the league two years” (Mullen & Mickle, SportsBusiness Journal).
BLUE SKY: Blue Sky Sports & Entertainment will represent Patriots rookie LB JEROD MAYO for marketing and personal appearances (BOSTON HERALD, 8/6).
