Gateway Sports launches U.S. Office
Gateway Sports & Entertainment launches U.S. Office
We are delighted to share some exciting news from Gateway as we announce our expansion into the United States.
With London as our HQ - we’ve extended to the sunshine of Miami, Florida 🌴 and we cannot wait to help athletes and brands achieve their visions.
Deji Akande, Gateway Sports CEO & Founder shared “Over the last few years I’ve had the privilege to build relationships in the U.S. and with it being the home of sport and entertainment, I believe an agency of our ambition must operate in the biggest market for our industry”.
So why the United States? And why now?
A number of Gateway clients are now based in the U.S. - and we have exciting news to come as we build our U.S. athlete roster!
There’s huge years of major sporting events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup and of course the LA 2028 Olympics on the horizon.
Sports & entertainment in the states is on an all time high - from the year on year powerhouse professional leagues, to the innovative new championships / break away league formats - our favourite sports are only getting bigger and bigger.
Collegiate athletes are changing the game and re-creating the meaning of student athletes - with opportunities around NIL (Name, Image & Likeness) college athletes need athlete marketing expertise to maximise these new avenues.
Brands & athletes are forming deeper and more meaningful partnerships and we believe we have the passion and expertise to add strategic value for both for talent & brand communities.
The time is now to double down, keep believing and keep striving to create the next generation sports & entertainment agency.
To sit alongside this huge news, it’s also a pleasure to welcome Leana Edwards, who joins Gateway as are our US Athlete Marketing Manager, based in Miami!
Leana will play a pivotal role in amplifying and unearthing opportunities for our talent in the U.S. and with her sports media background will be a huge support as we amplify our athletes' stories to brands & fans across the world.
