Personality Marketing, Endorsements & Tax Preparation: There´s a difference between being a
gifted athlete and a marketable personality. At ISM, we can help clients showcase their best
“people skills”. One way to do this is to encourage our clients to become involved in their
communities. Another way is to retain speech of acting coaches for clients when necessary.
Still another way is to retain publicists to maximize public exposure opportunities. All this may
seem more “showbiz” than sports-oriented, but the lines between the two worlds are very
thin indeed.
At ISM we are always on the lookout for marketing possibilities, from athletic apparel,
endorsements and other national advertising contracts to local appearances and community
oriented activities. Our creative drive has led to many new opportunities for our clients and
their friends & families.
Annual Tax Return Preparation: ISM has prepared hundreds of federal and state income tax
returns for professional athletes. We´re experts in preparing tax returns and our cost for this
service is included in our fees for contract negotiation. In other words, there´s no hidden
charge for this service. Athletes frequently have distinct and complex financial issues and
nobody knows how to untie and explain these issues better than ISM. It´s also good to know
that the people who do your taxes are the same people implementing and administering
your financial plans.
