To publicize its investment, the maker of the recently launched Beats Studio Pro shared a video on YouTube under the campaign “Beats Elite”, which lists all the young people who will be sponsored by her from now on. The subsidiary, however, preferred not to disclose the details of its agreements with the athletes.

Amina Charleshead of sports marketing at Beats, commented on the announcement:
As we worked with our early collegiate athletes, we realized how important it is for them to have brand support at this level. The industry is moving to really empower collegiate athletes, so we wanted to make a bigger leap in that area.
This true “mass agreement” was only possible thanks to a determination by the US Supreme Court, which, in 2021, decided that young athletes might profit from sponsorship contracts of this type. As part of the deal, they will wear custom Beats merchandise and appear in future Beats marketing campaigns.
In the video broadcast by the Apple subsidiary, it is even possible to see the athletes using a special version of the Beats Studio Pro, which has a silver finish and an inscription from the campaign. “Beats Elite” on the sides.
