OUR SERVICES
MARKETING & SPONSORING
We will develop an individual strategy and brand identity for every talent. Based on the athletes profile, we will seek the right partners and brands to link each individual.
FINANCE & INVESTMENTS
We guide athletes in their financial growth. More significant portfolios will be handled in close relation to a partner chosen with the athlete.
LEGAL & RISK
We’ll have legal aid inhouse for minor cases and advice. For more significant cases and contract deals, we will rely on our partner network.
COACHING & GUIDANCE
We want to be a safe-heaven for our athletes to communicate outside their everyday surroundings when needed, through our network of current and ex-athletes.
TAX & ESTATE PLANNING
Earning money is one side, structuring money is as important. Therefore we will work out a tax planning to optimize your investments, contracts, real estate and other assets.
CONSULTING
We have proven expertise in several areas. We look for solutions to improve the daily lives of our talents. We provide advice, guidance or recommendations on what to do.
CONCIERGE SERVICE
We support our talents with a variety of tasks such as restaurant reservations, hotel bookings, arranging various services, recommending locations and booking transport.
Our ideal client is a young talent that signs at the age of 16 to be supported during their career and who is still a client of us when they have reached the age of 66 to manage their investment portfolio and structure their after-career life.

MEET OUR TEAM
MAXIMILIEN PEETERS
FOUNDER & CEO
"After a career as a hockey player I entered the entrepreneurial world. While running a marketing agency La Movida and a design agency Elle & M’s, I started with Alexandre Hauben, Niets, the company above Botaniets, the zero alcohol gin. But something was missing, a company with a link to sports, my first true love. So The Agency was born during the Covid 19 pandemic. I wanted to assemble people who already performed in their line of business, and get them together in one company."

This way, our athletes can focus on their sport without any worries and relax with their family and friends in the little time they have left.”
