San Diego, California, June 02, 2021 - HUMBL, Inc. (OTC Markets: HMBL) announced today it has retained Athletes First as a strategic consultant to focus on the development of new business verticals in such areas as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), digital media and ticketing.
Athletes First is a leading sports agency with a multi-decade history of representing top NFL players, coaches, executives and broadcasters.

Athletes First will support HUMBL in delivering elite, white-glove service for a select group of A-list sports and entertainment talent, with an initial focus on creating highly-curated NFT galleries alongside Emmy-nominated creative house Goat Farm Media. Athletes First will also provide HUMBL with introductions in the ticketing industry, marketing and promotional support, and access to Athletes First’s digital content library.
“Partnering with Athletes First will open tremendous opportunities for HUMBL both with current and retired NFL players and other athletes and entertainers, but also across a spectrum of mobile payments, blockchain tokenization (NFTs), athlete contracts and ticketing in sports and entertainment,” said Brian Foote, HUMBL’s CEO. “We are thrilled to work with Athletes First creating NFTs, and providing unique opportunities to their top-flight roster of talent,” Foote continued.
