Our Team

At J&J we’re more than just a marketing agency—we’re family. Our team is made up of former players and who grew up together, starting with tee ball and playing all the way through high school. Many of which went on to compete at the highest levels of Division I baseball, with several appearances in the College World Series.

Our unique bond and shared experiences on and off the field create a tight-knit environment, allowing us to guide and mentor the next generation of athletes with passion and expertise. We know what it takes to succeed, and we’re here to make sure your path is supported by those who’ve been there.

Brand Partners

We view a spokesperson as more than just their athletic skills; they embody a brand’s identity both on and off the field. It’s essential for an athlete’s personal values to align with the overarching brand message to create a unified image.

We take pride in creating opportunities for our brand partners to connect with audiences in memorable and emotionally resonant ways that align with our shared values. In every partnership, we strive to exceed expectations, delivering value that extends far beyond the lifespan of a campaign.

Our strategy for partnering with brands is rooted in natural synergy. We believe that when the values, goals, and aspirations of athletes align with those of the brands they represent, it opens the door to opportunities that surpass conventional sponsorships. This alignment fosters authentic connections and generates results that genuinely reflect both the athlete and the brand, forming a powerful partnership that resonates with audiences and creates lasting impact.
