Architecting Empires.
Not Just Careers.
The world's most elite athletes and founders don't just want deals—they want dynasties. We provide the blueprint to turn potential into permanent leverage.
The Method
NIL & Deals
We help athletes and creators turn influence into income by structuring, negotiating, and managing NIL opportunities that align with their personal brand and long-term goals. Our edge is strategy over volume. Every deal is intentional, defensible, and designed to build lasting value, not just short-term payouts.
Business Consulting
We partner with founders, executives, and high performers to clarify strategy, optimize operations, and accelerate growth. What makes this different is the execution of practical, legally informed guidance that turns ideas into scalable, revenue-producing systems.
Digital Presence
We build and refine digital ecosystems that command attention and convert credibility into opportunity. From positioning to platforms, we ensure your online presence tells the right story, attracts the right audience, and works for you 24/7 as a business asset, not just a highlight reel.
Professional Brand Management
We manage brands like portfolios intentionally, strategically, and with the long game in mind. By aligning identity, messaging, and opportunities, we help clients protect their reputation, increase leverage, and grow influence that opens doors well beyond a single moment or market.
The Blueprint
Turning visibility into value. We build brands that outlast the spotlight.
OSC bridges the gap between raw talent and executive strategy. We don't measure success by attention, but by what you own, sustain, and scale.
Our Mission
Empowering growth with clarity. We operate at the intersection of creativity and commerce, protecting your IP and positioning your brand for lasting impact.
Our Vision
Moving beyond hype to sustainable equity. We ensure your brand is respected, protected, and monetized for the long game.
We don’t chase the first 15 minutes of fame. We own the 16th.
