In 2011, Denise Thompson took a leap. After years in corporate America, she saw a gap in sports and entertainment management, one that needed a more personal, business-savvy approach. Realizing her skills were fully transferable, she set out to create something different.

She built Advise Sports & Entertainment with a team of like-minded professionals, dedicated to fostering genuine connections and empowering clients beyond their careers. Today, Advise has grown to be trusted by top athletes, artists, and business leaders for management, mentorship, education, and community impact.
