Who We Are
After more than a decade in the PR/marketing world and a lifetime on the court, I saw a gap in the industry: racket sports brands with huge potential, but no one telling their story the right way. Golden Slam Marketing exists to change that.
We blend insider knowledge of the game with strategic marketing to help racket brands break through the noise with campaigns that feel modern, thoughtful and built to win.
If you're serious about standing out in racket sports culture and beyond, you're in the right place.
