Team Marketing partners with Baller League
the Swiss sports marketing agency Team Marketing has announced a new partnership with the Baller League, marking its first new client since the end of its decades-long collaboration with UEFA [[1]]. The agency will support the six-against-six competition in its sales efforts and conduct a strategic review for a potential long-term partnership.
Founded in 2023, the Baller League focuses on an entertaining football format featuring influencers and former professional players, targeting a young demographic [[2]]. Following a accomplished first season in Germany, the league has recently expanded to Great Britain, with plans for further expansion into the USA.
“With our new team Ventures division, Baller League is an exciting new sport that corresponds to our goal to advance innovation-driven products,” explained Simon Crouch, Managing Director of Team Marketing.
Baller League founder Felix Starck stated: “The Baller League is not just a league – it is a movement. […] The partnership with team gives us access to an experienced operator who understands how to build first-class sports IP.”
This collaboration signifies a strategic shift for Team Marketing.

They have already initiated collaborations with FIBA and other sports formats and launched a new agency brand, T/Squared.
