Brandinc PR and Flow Forward Media Expand Athlete Brand Partnerships in NIL Market

AUSTIN, Texas - March 11, 2026 - PRLog -- Brandinc PR, a boutique public relations agency specializing in strategic visibility and brand partnerships, announced its ongoing collaboration with Flow Forward Media to support brand partnership opportunities for athletes affiliated with the Texas Tailgaters collective.

Since 2025, Brandinc PR has worked alongside Flow Forward Media to help connect athlete creators with brands seeking authentic partnerships in the evolving Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) marketplace. Through this collaboration, Brandinc PR has supported outreach efforts and brand matchmaking designed to align athletes with partnerships that reflect their personal brands and audiences.

"College athletes are no longer just competitors on the field," said Brandi Sims, MBA, CEO and Founder of Brandinc PR. "They are emerging creators and entrepreneurs. Our role is helping brands recognize the value of these voices and facilitating meaningful partnerships that benefit both athletes and companies."

Flow Forward Media works with athletes across multiple sports to identify partnership opportunities, while Brandinc PR provides strategic support in brand outreach, positioning, and communications strategy.

"Partnering with Brandinc PR has been a game changer for us," said Marcus Johnson, founder of Flow Forward Media. "When we first started exploring larger brand partnerships for the athletes we work with, we realized we needed strategic PR support. Brandi was one of the few people who picked up the phone and immediately saw the opportunity. Since then, Brandinc PR has helped open the door to partnership opportunities that are accelerating the brands of these athletes."

The collaboration reflects the growing demand for strategic communications and brand partnership development in the rapidly expanding NIL economy.

"As the NIL landscape continues to evolve, athletes are increasingly looking for opportunities that extend beyond traditional endorsements," Sims added. "Strategic communications and thoughtful brand alignment are becoming essential components of long-term athlete brand building."

Brandinc PR will continue supporting partnership development and media visibility for athletes working within the Flow Forward Media network and the Texas Tailgaters collective.
