Co-Founders Anthony and Swann will collaborate with Stagwell across the challenger network's events ecosystem
NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) today announced an expanded partnership with the global wine brand, VII(N) The Seventh Estate, co-founded by 10-time NBA All-Star and entrepreneur Carmelo Anthony and long-time business partner Asani Swann. This multi-pronged creative partnership builds upon the co-founders' existing relationship with Stagwell, which originated at Sport Beach 2023, the flagship sports business destination at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
Following the success of Sport Beach 2023, Anthony and Swann returned to Sport Beach in 2024, launching the first-ever Wine and Spirits Festival at Cannes Lions. On site, guests sampled athlete-founded wine and spirits brands including VII(N) The Seventh Estate, Casa Azul Tequila Soda from two-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce, Garage Beer by Super Bowl champions and brothers Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, La Fête du Rosé from co-owner and San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul, Le Portier premier cognac from NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe, and The Paloma by Don Julio, the official cocktail of Sport Beach 2024.
Together, Stagwell and VII(N) The Seventh Estate will continue to tap into key cultural moments that surround the growing impact of business, sports, and culture. On Wednesday, November 13, Anthony will join Dan Gardner, Co-founder & Executive Chairman of Code and Theory, a Stagwell agency, at Web Summit to unpack how technology and creativity are transforming the world of sports.
"We look forward to working closely with Stagwell and ushering in new opportunities for both of our businesses," said Asani Swann, Founder of Business Beyond the Ball and Co-Founder of VII(N) The Seventh Estate. "By combining our strengths and reach, we'll have the ability to amplify our impact in both sports and business across platforms."
"In partnership with VII(N), Carmelo and Asani's critical role in bringing the Wine and Spirits Festival to Sport Beach took our activation to the next level, and I am excited to build on that momentum through this expanded partnership," said Stagwell's Chief Brand and Communications Officer Beth Sidhu.
