AO Advisory

AO Advisory

Corporate partnership advisory for sport.

The Firm

AO Advisory advises brands on the design and execution of sports partnerships. Engagements are founder-led, deliberately few, and confidential.

Practices

Sport

Commercial partnership advisory for brands seeking the right presence in sport — corporates and founder-led consumer brands without an in-house partnerships function. We identify aligned rights-holders, originate access, and structure partnerships through to renewal. Currently focused on padel, one of sport's fastest-growing commercial categories in the UK.

Approach
Origination
Identification of rights-holders whose audience and values align with the client's brand.
Introduction
Direct, senior-level introductions. No mass outreach.
Execution
Structuring and stewardship of the partnership through to renewal.
Fees
Sport engagements are success-fee led, with retained mandates for established clients.
