Denver Broncos Tight End Julius Thomas Teams With Marketing And Digital Agency

+Denver Broncos tight end Julius Thomas had a break-out year in 2013, recording 788 receiving yards, 12 touchdowns and earning his first trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. He is now looking to expand his presence off the field and has retained Hollywood, California-based NCLUSIVE Sports to manage all of his marketing opportunities, public relations and digital assets going forward. NCLUSIVE will begin by building Thomas an interactive website, managing his social media platforms and procuring new marketing opportunities for the fourth year +NFL  player.

“We are incredibly excited to be working with Julius in developing and growing his overall brand and digital presence,” said Justin Giangrande, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of +NCLUSIVE, inc. “NCLUSIVE Sports is at the forefront of innovative marketing as well as the digital and online space, and we look forward to focusing our services on one of the leagues most electrifying young talents.”

Julius Thomas is added to an already impressive list of clients for the young, but emerging, NCLUSIVE Sports division of creative agency NCLUSIVE, inc. The company’s existing clients include +Real Madrid C.F.'s, Gareth Bale, (for his United States-related opportunities), +NFL defensive back Antonio Cromartie, +Washington Wizards guard John Wall (for digital purposes only), and the recent additions of +Houston Astros outfielder Dexter Fowler and +Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Mercedes Lewis.

FORBES previously highlighted all of the positive things John Wall has done on and off the court, including the launch of an interactive website roughly one year ago. That website was built by NCLUSIVE and has been managed, along with Wall’s social media platforms, by the California corporation. Thomas will seek to gain the same type of exposure that Wall and other NCLUSIVE clients have received since teaming up with the firm.

“What Julius is doing is phenomenal,” added Giangrande. “To think of all of the greats who have played the game and to be the first Bronco tight end to catch 12 touchdowns is truly incredible. Julius has a great opportunity to elevate his brand and personality off the field to his level of play on it. It is only natural that we help him do this through a 360 degree approach to leverage his brand in sourcing both traditional and digital marketing opportunities.”
