Chris Allen, group account director at Pitch Marketing Group, said: “We’re delighted to be appointed by Unscriptd. They are at the cutting edge of athlete marketing and we look forward to helping build their awareness as part of a drive to further commercialise their business.”

Unscriptd, which has offices in London, Barcelona, New York and Melbourne, creates value for its clients through social audience growth and engagement as a means of increasing athletes’ personal brand value and their value to existing and potential sponsors.

Unscriptd’s decision to retain Pitch Marketing Group is the latest account win for the agency which has recently been appointed by the Premier League, Beats By Dre and the Telegraph Media Group.
