Director of BASEBALL Operations

Milk & Honey Baseball will be run by industry veteran Kyle Thousand, who previously served as Roc Nation Sports’ first-ever managing director of baseball. Thousand will work alongside existing Milk & Honey Sports partners Jake Presser, Rawleigh Williams, Dave Frank and Alex Harrow. The baseball division is based in Nashville and launches in partnership with Big Plan Holdings, a diversified family holding company with investments in cannabis, real estate, entertainment and hospitality.

COLLEGE AFFILIATION

We are proud to have major relationships with respected college baseball teams across the country in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and will be working closely with teams from all divisions.

CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS

Milk & Honey’s sport’s executives have worked tirelessly for over 13 years developing authentic personal relationships with teams front office, coaching staffs, personnel departments and key decision makers.

By representing multiple players, scaling annually and having sustained success in numerous pillars of entertainment, Milk & Honey has significant leverage over competing agencies when it comes to negotiating brand deals.

SPONSORS & PARTNERSHIPS

Milk & Honey Sports, being part of a larger entertainment company, has access to every key brand executive in the world. Brand deals are not all packaged with a brand direct relationship, often it’s the advertising agencies making these deals. Multiple executives at our company have deep relationships with key decision makers at the advertising agencies in New York, Chicago, Dallas, and Atlanta. Our relationships with these executives go beyond athlete endorsement and brand deals and extend into television commercials, placing music in ads, event and tour sponsorship, etc.

Milk & Honey’s ability as a company to leverage these relationships is incredibly strong for a boutique agency.

VENTURES

Milk & Honey has built a business of representing clients who have a desire to be entrepreneurial off the stage, out of the studio, and off the field. The firm started in traditional management representation in the music business. We partnered with artists, songwriters and record producers to build businesses – specifically in music publishing, production deals, and record companies – to harness long-term ownership of song assets. The company owns the rights to a large tranche of popular music today that you hear on the radio daily, and as a group, Milk & Honey has built big ancillary businesses and long-term asset value for our clients who own a lot of these rights alongside our firm. Milk & Honey Sports will be working with athletes to develop intellectual property. Athletes who wonder how they should spend their time in the off season, or who have an interest in being entrepreneurs during their time in the league, would all be a good fit at Milk & Honey Sports. It could be an app, an apparel brand, a spirits brand, and beyond – the company will be working with our athletes to build successful asset-based businesses. We are focused on starting today to build real enterprise wealth for our clients, beyond success as an athlete.

We are qualified to help players build companies from A to Z – from the early stages of raising money with our deep relationships with private equity and institutional capital to building the team to creating concepts and decks to launching, marketing, staffing and running a full-fledged enterprise. We believe that we can create businesses for our clients that last long after their career on the field. This is a key differentiator from other agencies in the space, and a first of its kind.
