NPMA Industry Awards and General Session with Keynote J.B. Bernstein
Syngenta is a proud sponsor of the Industry Awards and General Session with keynote speaker J.B. Bernstein on Thursday, October 23 from 8:30-10 a.m. in Northern Hemisphere A-D.
As a 25+ year veteran of the consumer goods and sports marketing industries, Bernstein knows what it takes to receive positive results. As the CMO of Seven Figures Management, a sports marketing and athlete representation firm, Bernstein was the mastermind behind The Million Dollar Arm contest. This revolutionary reality TV show and talent search for baseball players in India yielded the first two Indian-born men to ever sign pro sports contracts in the United States, both signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bernstein’s story is now the subject of a Disney motion picture that was released in May 2014. Bernstein is portrayed by actor Jon Hamm of Mad Men fame.
He is also the co-founder and president of the Access Group of Miami and has represented some of the greatest athletes of all time, including Barry Bonds, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith and Curtis Martin. Bernstein was responsible for creating groundbreaking programs like Smith’s “Run with History,” which is now the standard deal in NFL milestone marketing. He also orchestrated Barry Bonds’s departure from the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) group licensing, making him the first baseball player to successfully operate outside of their auspices.
Moreover, Bernstein’s services were retained by Major League Soccer (MLS) from 1995-97 to act as their head of licensing and create the league’s and the players’ entire merchandise program. He secured over 50 partners and reached levels of licensed goods sales of nearly $50 million in 1997.
Bernstein got his start in sports during the formation of The Upper Deck Company. As the director of development for the memorabilia division, he developed over 250 products and is widely known as one of the godfathers of milestone marketing for his work on Wayne Gretzky’s 802nd goal program and Dan Marino’s all time touchdown record.
Bernstein – a true marketing expert – will give you the starting tools and inspiration you need to help you develop big ideas and turn them into viable programs. Don’t miss your chance to see J.B. Bernstein!
