NIL Marketplace MOGL Partners with Marketing Agency Salvi Media
Salvi Media and MOGL are both founded by former Notre Dame football players
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (February 2022) -- MOGL, the first fully compliant online marketplace to connect businesses and brands with collegiate athletes for opportunities to monetize their name, image and likeness (NIL) is partnering with Chicago-based creative video agency Salvi Media.
Through this partnership, Salvi Media will be a branded content resource for MOGL and the athletes and businesses on the MOGL platform. MOGL will continue to provide value and help MOGL customers amplify awareness of their brands, products and services.
Founded by two former Notre Dame football players and brothers Christopher and William Salvi, Salvi Media is a creative video agency dedicated to creating exceptional content for brands focused on visual storytelling. Salvi Media has worked with companies and organizations such as Notre Dame, Northwestern University, Ulta Beauty, Entrepreneur Magazine, Wintrust Bank, and Saint Ignatius College Prep.
“MOGL is excited to partner with a company that excels in helping brands amplify their impact with creativity,” says MOGL Co-Founder and CEO Ayden Syal. “Through this partnership, Salvi’s extensive experience in digital content and passion for helping businesses will add great value to our platform.”
The partnership is especially exciting for MOGL as Salvi Media was also founded by Notre Dame alumni. The two Notre Dame alumni-founded companies recognize the synergy between the two businesses. As a name, image, and likeness marketplace that aims to empower both athletes and businesses, MOGL is committed to bringing brand stories to life.
“We couldn’t think of a better ally to match our purpose of standing out as trusted business partners and community leaders than MOGL,” said Salvi Media Co-founder Christopher Salvi. “MOGL’s inspiring mission to empower athletes and brands connecting them through business opportunities makes me imagine endless possibilities to serve better our customers while contributing to build a better community where we all can thrive.”
Similar to Salvi Media, the MOGL team also has numerous connections to the University of Notre Dame. MOGL Business Development Representative Xavier Lezynski and MOGL Co-Founder and Chief Athletic Officer Brandon Wimbush both played on the Notre Dame football team. MOGL Customer Success Manager Nicolette Ruiz and Founding Partner of MOGL Partner Platform Venture Studios Tim Connors are also Notre Dame alumni. A lead investor in MOGL, IrishAngels is a Notre Dame investment network. MOGL was a finalist in the 2021 McClosky New Venture competition hosted by Notre Dame and the Notre Dame Idea Center. The Notre Dame Idea Center has previously highlighted MOGL CEO Ayden Syal and published his profile. Similarly, the Notre Dame Idea Center highlighted Salvi Media Co-Founders and their profile as well.
