NXTagency Adds Daniel Blair to Staff




Blair
to assist in athlete management and
representation


San Marcos, CA (March 24, 2010)
NXTagency, a boutique marketing
agency, is excited to announce the addition of Supercross rider, Daniel
Blair,
to its team. Blair will work alongside Todd Ballard to further enhance
and
build the rider management/ representation component of the NXTagency
business.



Over
the past 7 years, NXTagency has worked with a host of
brands, teams, events and athletes on a variety of
initiatives….including
licensing, PR, sponsorship acquisition and management, viral marketing,
event
activation and more. The athlete management component is relatively new,
although NXTagency has worked in some capacity with such athletes as
Ronnie
Renner, Ricky James, Kyle Regal, Jeremy McGrath, Phil Nicoletti, Bryce
Vallee
and Blair himself.




Daniel Blair brings to NXTagency and its clients 20 years of “real-life”
racing
experience. Blair’s career is full of achievements and awards, including
3-time
Amateur National Champion, an AMA record holder, top-10 Supercross Lites
rider
and has raced internationally in more than 8 countries. Daniel has
experienced
all levels of support as a racer, from a Factory-level rider on the
Geico
Powersports Honda squad to the week-to-week struggles of racing as a
privateer.



Besides working with
NXTagency, Blair will continue to race select races in 2010 as he
recovers from
double knee surgery from injuries he sustained at the beginning of the
2010
Supercross Season. Daniel and his brother Vincent are also working on a
new
full-length album with their brand “The Main Event” and are both looking
at
contesting 450 class of the 2011 AMA Arenacross Series.



“Daniel
is going to make a great addition to the NXTagency program”, said
NXTagency’s
Todd Ballard. “In addition to his lifelong racing experiences of
sponsorship,
travel, major injuries and training, he has earned the respect of the MX
industry’s brands, teams, media, promoters and riders. Being able to
share the
insight and attributes that have earned him that respect and experience
with
other riders is invaluable.”





Daniel
Blair added “With my first kid on the way, it’s time to start thinking
about
what I will do once the racing career is over. I’ve raced motorcycles my
entire
life and to be able to stay in the industry once I do hang it up is
amazing.
Todd is the only “agent” I have ever worked with that I truly trust and
believe
has the riders best interests in mind. To be able to compliment his
professionalism, contacts and knowledge with my racing experience should
make
for a great program.”
