Alright, so I got curious about Tom Brady and all the ads you see him in. You know, the guy’s face is plastered everywhere, even after he stopped playing football for good, it feels like. So, I decided to actually sit down and figure out what deals he’s got going on. It wasn’t some big research project, just me poking around online.
First thing I did, just hopped on my computer and typed “Tom Brady endorsements” into a search bar. Pretty basic, right? And wow, a ton of stuff popped up immediately. News articles, lists from sports sites, business journals, the works. It was kind of overwhelming, honestly. Lots of noise to sift through.
I started clicking around, trying to get a sense of the big ones. Had to weed out the older stuff because, you know, deals change. Some articles were from years ago. I wanted to know what he’s currently pitching, or at least has pitched recently.
Digging Through the Pile
Spent a bit of time just reading headlines and skimming articles. You start seeing the same names pop up again and again. That helps filter things. I wasn’t exactly taking super detailed notes, more like mental bookmarks.
I noticed he doesn’t just shill anything. Seems like he goes for a mix. You got the sports stuff, obviously. Makes sense.
- Under Armour: This one’s been around forever, it feels like. Saw lots of mentions of his own apparel line with them.
- Aston Martin: Okay, fancy cars. Guess that fits the image.
- Wheels Up: Private jets. Again, fits the high-roller lifestyle people associate with him.
- Hertz: Rental cars. Saw those commercials, they were pretty frequent for a while.
- Subway: This one surprised me a little at first, but hey, everybody eats.
Then there’s his own stuff, like that TB12 brand. Health and wellness. That seems to be a big focus for him, selling protein powders and workout gear. Makes sense, gotta leverage that fitness reputation.
Some Other Stuff I Found
There was also talk about newer things, like digital stuff. He got involved with that whole NFT craze with a company called Autograph. And yeah, can’t forget the big one that blew up – FTX. Saw a lot of articles about that partnership going south when the crypto market crashed and FTX went bust. Shows these things aren’t always smooth sailing, even for big names.
He also does stuff locally back in New England, like with Shields Health Care. Saw that mentioned quite a bit. Seems like he kept some ties there even after leaving the Patriots.
My Takeaway
So, after maybe an hour or so of clicking and reading, I got a pretty good picture. The guy’s built himself a massive business off the field. It’s not just about football anymore; it’s about the ‘Tom Brady’ brand. He attaches his name to things ranging from sportswear to luxury goods to tech, and even his own wellness company.
It’s kind of impressive, the range of it all. And how long he’s kept these big deals going. Just shows the power of a well-known name, I guess. Anyway, that was my little dive into the world of Tom Brady’s endorsements. Just wanted to see what was actually behind all those ads.
