Today, fan-favorite collegiate female athletes from across the country were featured in the first-ever “All American Creator Team,” a groundbreaking initiative designed to honor exceptional and rising star female college athletes who not only excel in their athletic achievements but also brand partnerships and social media influence. The team, which Brand Innovators created in collaboration with Us Weekly and PlayBooked, was revealed today in three feature articles on UsMagazine.com, a special badge shared on social media by the players, and in the inaugural edition of RISE Women In Sports, an all-new women’s sports magazine produced by a360media that newsstands nationwide this morning. Help give applause to these superstars by sharing the news and purchasing a copy of RISE at your local newsstand or on MagazineShop.us! https://lnkd.in/gE46PDsT #womenssports #collegesports #sportsmarketing #creatormarketing
