Basketball is our thing. Since 2008 our team works hand in hand with the players to drive them towards successful careers.
As ex-professionals, we know the dedication and sacrifice that require being a professional athlete. That’s why we bring experience, advice and support to all our #pressionaplayers.
Philosophy
We maintain a close relationship with all the members of Pressiona, creating ties through attentive communication and 24/7 support. Pressiona is more than an agency, we’re a family in which each member is valued and treated with respect and honesty. This close relationship means that we always dedicate a lot of time to call, chat, and visit our clients. We also showcase their performances on social media, create quality video and photo content for them to use, as part of our digital marketing strategy.
