PBX Pickleball partners with Zinc Agency to Provide the Ultimate Corporate Pickleball Experiences with Retired Professional Athletes
–News Direct–
PBX Pickleball, a new organization that unites the pickleball community with retired professional athletes, announced a partnership with Zinc Agency to lead the planning and implementation for customized corporate experiences centered around the game of pickleball.
Zinc becomes the official corporate sales and hospitality partner of PBX Corporate Experiences, which is one of four platforms of PBX Pickleball that will feature top retired professional athletes from all major sports, including baseball, hockey, football, and basketball.
Through PBX Pickleball, we plan to create the ultimate pickleball experience and provide a new client entertainment platform for business leaders to participate with their clients and prospects alongside professional retired athletes, said Gary Rosenberg, Chief Revenue Officer at Zinc Agency. Golf has always been considered the sport of business, but we see pickleball opening up a new channel for client engagement and relationship building.
Zinc Agency has over 25 years of experience creating customized corporate events across various lifestyle categories. The company is known for leveraging professional talent to curate customized private experiences with professional athletes, chefs, speakers, musicians, illusionists, and other entertainers.
As the fastest growing sport in America that anyone can play, pickleball is the perfect activity for businesses to leverage for entertainment, networking, and team building outside of boardrooms and video calls, said Jason Clement, CEO of The Sports Facilities Companies, the parent company for PBX Pickleball. Zinc Agency has a successful track record of selling corporate experiences across various sports and entertainment categories. When we add the element of retired pro athletes as PBX Pros, we thought Zinc was the ideal partner to create that ultimate experience.
PBX Pickleball consists of four experiences:
-
PBX Tour brings together retired sports stars turned avid pickleball players, starting with athletes who previously competed at the highest levels of their sports. Each player represents their respective sports in PBX Pickleball tournaments for audiences watching in person, via television broadcasts, and through digital media.
-
PBX Pro-Ams allow amateur pickleball players to play with and against former male and female stars of major sports teams. PBX Pickleball Pro-Ams align with professional pickleball tour stops and occur adjacent to these events, including the PBX Tour.
-
PBX Dream Weekends offer the ultimate pickleball experience for amateur participants. Pickleball enthusiasts can learn from professional pickleball players and interact with dozens of retired athletes.
-
PBX Corporate Experiences are fully customizable with turnkey services to support corporate meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions. Your employees, partners and prospects can play pickleball with retired professional athletes.
Since forming in June 2023, PBX Pickleball has also confirmed partnerships with the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association (MLBPAA) and the NHL Alumni Association.
