NXTagency Adds Daniel Blair to Staff
March 24, 2010 2:47pm
San Marcos, CA – NXTagency, a boutique marketing agency, is excited to announce the addition of Supercross rider, Daniel Blair, to its team. Blair will work alongside Todd Ballard to further enhance and build the rider management/ representation component of the NXTagency business.
Over the past 7 years, NXTagency has worked with a host of brands, teams, events and athletes on a variety of initiatives….including licensing, PR, sponsorship acquisition and management, viral marketing, event activation and more. The athlete management component is relatively new, although NXTagency has worked in some capacity with such athletes as Ronnie Renner, Ricky James, Kyle Regal, Jeremy McGrath, Phil Nicoletti, Bryce Vallee and Blair himself.
Daniel Blair brings to NXTagency and its clients 20 years of “real-life” racing experience. Blair’s career is full of achievements and awards, including 3-time Amateur National Champion, an AMA record holder, top-10 Supercross Lites rider and has raced internationally in more than 8 countries. Daniel has experienced all levels of support as a racer, from a Factory-level rider on the Geico Powersports Honda squad to the week-to-week struggles of racing as a privateer.
Besides working with NXTagency, Blair will continue to race select races in 2010 as he recovers from double knee surgery from injuries he sustained at the beginning of the 2010 Supercross Season. Daniel and his brother Vincent are also working on a new full-length album with their brand “The Main Event” and are both looking at contesting 450 class of the 2011 AMA Arenacross Series.
“Daniel is going to make a great addition to the NXTagency program”, said NXTagency’s Todd Ballard. “In addition to his lifelong racing experiences of sponsorship, travel, major injuries and training, he has earned the respect of the MX industry’s brands, teams, media, promoters and riders. Being able to share the insight and attributes that have earned him that respect and experience with other riders is invaluable.”
Daniel Blair added “With my first kid on the way, it’s time to start thinking about what I will do once the racing career is over. I’ve raced motorcycles my entire life and to be able to stay in the industry once I do hang it up is amazing. Todd is the only “agent” I have ever worked with that I truly trust and believe has the riders best interests in mind. To be able to compliment his professionalism, contacts and knowledge with my racing experience should make for a great program.”
