Karl-Anthony Towns Has Signed An Endorsement Deal with Hola Prime

Karl-Anthony Towns has signed on as the first-ever sports ambassador for Hola Prime, a fintech platform that’s apparently decided the best way to explain trading to the masses is through a 7-foot All-Star center with a three-point shot and a knack for brand synergy.

The campaign—titled “#SpeedIsSuccess”—leans into the idea that trading is like basketball: fast-paced, strategic, and best executed by someone who’s already made $70 million in career earnings. Towns, who joined the New York Knicks in late 2024, is now applying his on-court agility to financial markets, or at least to the marketing of them.

This isn’t Towns’ first foray into endorsements. His portfolio includes partnerships with Beats by Dre, Dove Men+Care, Fast

Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano Has Signed with Anna Agency

Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano have signed with Anna Agency for representation across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania, which is less of a “new era” move and more of a finely-tuned geographic shuffle. The duo stays with UTA for North America, because of course: when your tribal-house empire spans four continents, you need a multi-pronged booking strategy that’s as layered as your percussion tracks.

The Dutch DJ-producer pair first broke out with 2013’s “S.O.T.U” (with Nicky Romero), a Beatport Top 100 smash and a track title that still reads like EDM shorthand for world domination. Since then, they’ve served up peak-hour anthems like “Triton,” “Salute,” and “Come Follow,” cycling through Spinnin’ Records before staking out their own lane with SONO Music under the Armada Music umbrella—a label that doubles as a calling card for their distinctively

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Sign with Independent Artist Group

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have signed with Independent Artist Group for representation, which is probably less about a change in direction and more about updating the machinery behind one of dance music’s most persistent export operations.

The Belgian-Greek brothers have built their careers on scale: crowd sizes, BPMs, and enough pyrotechnics to register on climate maps. Ranked No. 1 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list in both 2015 and 2019 (and reliably hovering around No. 2 in between), they’ve been EDM royalty for over a decade—and like most royalty, their empire runs on infrastructure. Smash The House, their label founded in 2010, still churns out festival bait with algorithmic precision.

Their catalog includes massive crossover moments like “Tremor” with Martin Garrix and “Higher Place” with Ne-Yo, but the real asset is their presence. Think Tomorrowland, Creamfields, EDC, UNTOLD, and

Shedeur Sanders Has Signed an Endorsement Deal with Delta Airlines

Shedeur Sanders has signed an endorsement deal with Delta Airlines, because in 2025, even your boarding pass needs a storyline.

A day after being drafted 144th overall by the Cleveland Browns—several rounds later than most projections, media takes, and probably his own expectations—Sanders quietly launched his next brand move. A TikTok clip dropped showing him boarding a Delta flight, wearing a Delta sweatshirt, and delivering the tagline: “It’s time to keep climbing.” Subtle? No. Effective? Absolutely. It’s self-mythologizing with gate assignments.

This is not a post-draft recovery deal. It’s a flex. Delta’s not betting on the No. 144 pick. They’re betting on the Shedeur Sanders brand—built not just on his QB stats, but on a perfectly curated blend of swagger,

Jessie J Has Signed with UTA

Jessie J has signed with UTA for North American representation, marking what appears to be the opening act of her next reinvention arc. She remains with CAA for the rest of the world, is managed by Darco Artist Partnerships, and handled on the PR front by Satellite 414. So, yes, the infrastructure is in place—and now the routing map is getting updated.

She’s also back with new music, independently released no less. “No Secrets”, which dropped this month, is her first new single in four years and sounds like both a confessional and a warning shot. The track is raw, melodic, and deeply Jessie J—a reminder that she’s still got the vocal firepower to peel paint off arena walls, even if she’s choosing to use it a little more sparingly now. There’s also a Ryan Tedder-produced single on deck (“Living My Best Life”), which is either a promise or a branding exercise, depending on your level of optimism.

The Weeknd Has Signed With WME

The Weeknd has signed with WME for representation. Because in 2025, when your brand encompasses chart-topping albums, cinematic ventures, and global tours, aligning with a powerhouse agency is as much a strategic move as releasing a hit single.

This partnership comes as The Weeknd continues to solidify his position as a global entertainment force. With over 116 million monthly listeners on Spotify, his reach spans continents, resonating in top markets like Jakarta, São Paulo, Mexico City, Sydney, and London.

Currently, he's in the midst of his "After Hours Til Dawn" 2025 stadium tour, which kicked off on May 9 in Phoenix and is set to conclude on September 3 in San Antonio. The tour supports his latest album, "Hurry Up Tomorrow," the final installment of his trilogy following "After Hours" (2020) and "Dawn FM" (2022) .

MANDY has signed with Corson Agency

Belgian hard dance phenom MANDY has signed with Corson Agency for North American representation, a move that makes perfect sense if you’ve ever seen her set—and less sense if you’re trying to track BPMs below 150. She’ll continue to be repped by Platform Artist Agency in Belgium and managed globally by One World Artists, which is to say: the team is tight, and the sound is louder than your heartbeat.

MANDY blew in back in 2017 with “RaggaDrop,” a viral, rave-leaning banger that made hardstyle briefly feel like it could break through to the masses. It didn’t (entirely), but MANDY did—thanks to relentless touring, a cultish fanbase, and a string of releases that kept pushing the limits of what you can reasonably call “melodic.”

Chappell Roan Has Signed With Foundations Music for Management

Chappell Roan has signed with Foundations Music for management, marking a pivotal moment in her career following a significant year of achievements. She continues to be represented by Wasserman for live bookings, with PR support from Biz3 in the U.S. and Satellite 414 in the U.K.

Roan's ascent in the music industry has been marked by her 2024 hit single, “Good Luck, Babe!”, which propelled her into the spotlight and significantly boosted the success of her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. The single debuted at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 6, while the album reached number 2 on the Billboard 200, solidifying her status as a rising star.

Jalen Williams Signs Endorsement Deal With Ecko

Jalen Williams, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s breakout star and newly minted 2025 NBA All-Star, has teamed up with Ecko Unltd. as a brand ambassador and capsule collaborator. The partnership marks a smart evolution for Ecko—reviving its streetwear DNA with the help of a player who’s quietly become one of the most stylish, positionless forces in the league.

Williams—“J-Dub” if you’re paying attention—has helped lead OKC to the #1 seed in the Western Conference this season, averaging over 21 points per game and playing with the kind of length, vision, and versatility that makes coaches drool and stylists take notes. At just 23, he’s not only locked in on the court, he’s also building out a brand persona that feels custom-tailored for Gen Z fans: calm, cool, ultra-efficient.

Ecko Unltd., meanwhile, is in legacy-revival mode. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, the brand is leaning back into its ‘90s and early-2000s skate-hip-hop ethos, with limited-edition

Canelo Álvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion and global boxing icon, has been announced as the latest brand ambassador for luxury fashion house Amiri. This collaboration marks a significant move for both parties: Amiri expands its influence into the Latin American market, while Álvarez continues to diversify his brand beyond the boxing world.​

Mike Amiri, founder and creative director of the brand, emphasized the shared values between the athlete and the fashion house: “We share a philosophy of excellence and a dedication to inspiring others.” This partnership aligns Álvarez with other Amiri ambassadors, including South Korean rapper Sunwoon, highlighting the brand's commitment to cultural diversity and global reach.​

For Álvarez, this is not his first foray into the fashion industry. He has previously collaborated with luxury brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuitton, and his association with Amiri further cements his status
