About Us

WaV Sports & Entertainment was born out of a desire to end the status quo.  We’re an agile, results-driven firm with a committed focus on client service. One of our tenets is that we have learned what not to do as much as what to do.  We execute with intent and zero-in on quantitative, actionable results.  We have taken all of our experiences across professional sports and entertainment and have combined them to form an agency that finds unique ways to solve age-old problems in sports marketing. 

We are committed to providing an inclusive, diverse and synergistic work environment that provides our team with the proper tools and support to execute at the highest level. We believe in working hard, yet providing our team with an atmosphere that promotes a healthy work-life balance.
