don’t just take our word

  • Portland State University

    "I'm so thankful to have met Lauren and begun working with her. Lauren's work with our athletic department has gone so far beyond the single guest speaking event. She's been extremely generous with her time as our student-athletes have asked to meet with her individually after the fact. That's been instrumental in our department growing our NIL plan. A lot of our student-athletes didn't know where to start with NIL, so having someone like Lauren available to them has been very beneficial to us and our student-athletes. "

  • Total NIL Alum: Alex Forsyth

    Alex Forsyth, a University of Oregon center for the Ducks worked with Total NIL his final year of college. We sat down with Alex and figured out his passions, his brand strategy, and how we were going to secure him brand opportunities. Alex was a perfect fit for an app that sells player cards, Fangravvy, in which he had tons of success. Helping Alex not only create his brand, but find him NIL opportunities was extremely rewarding. Alex was selected by the Denver Broncos in the 2023 NFL Draft.

  • The University of Mississippi

    During the summer of 2022, we spoke to several different groups of student-athletes at the University of Mississippi. In the 45 minute session, the SA's gained insight on building their brand and social media, while learning the best strategies & practices to earning NIL deals, and taking advantage of their NIL opportunities.

  • Brand Testimony: OpenSponsorship

    "Lauren and I worked together via the "College Champions" program.. She served as one of the initial program ambassadors for college athlete name/image/likeness (NIL). In this role, Lauren connected with local businesses in the Oxford, MS community as well as other brands outside of the area in order to promote OpenSponsorship as a tool for these brands to utilize within their marketing approach. Lauren set the standard for our team in her energy, outgoing and optimistic attitude, and creativity in how to connect with + interact with local business owners....Through her efforts, she brought HUNDREDS of brands to OpenSponsorship as potential leads (which we then worked to close as clients).
