Question

The Answer is Young individuals becoming professional athletes in sports such as golf, tennis, and auto racing often need to manage their own marketing affairs to build their brand. The number of avenues to self-market are plentiful as compared to athletes from generations ago. As a result, it is important to maximize the use of these digital technologies in an integrated manner.
The advice provided in the response should focus on the various services available for use and options for the best services (a minimum of six). The choice of social media platform to be used should highlight how the athlete will be able to reach different segments of followers (including potential sponsors), how certain social media platforms can focus on particular geographical areas (especially important for independent contractor athletes who often travel the world for tournaments or events), and the need to potentially use multi-lingual communication in their marketing efforts (again to reach a wider audience).
