Teamwork – Excellence – Respect – Integrity – Innovation

We hear these words a lot, but these are the values that have kept us together and inspired the reuniting of former Helios people. Renaissance Sports is both a rebirth and an affirmation of the great team and talent that was responsible for much of our past success.

We are Renaissance Sports, and our mission remains simple and direct:

  • We strive to become a leading sports marketing agency by providing personal service and innovative solutions.
  • We prioritize our clients’ objectives and respect the environments in which we operate.
  • We act with integrity, openness and transparency in every facet of our business.

Our team of professionals maintains a singular ambition:  to guide organizations, cities, properties and corporate brands through the complexities of a changing industry and toward a return on their investment.

Our culture is one of commitment to shared success, and our past results confirm the strength of that commitment.
