2007-08-19 22:00:53
It seems an odd strategy for sports marketing powerhouse IMG:Build the business by letting your star athletes leave.But that’s exactly the path IMG is taking these days.Certainly not all its athletes are making for the exits.IMG still crosses the T’s on Tiger Woods’ Nike deals and makes sure Roger Federer’s Wilson rackets are strung.But since private equity mogul Theodore J.”Ted” Forstmann spent $750 milllion for the company in 2004.IMG hasn’t been the glitzy campus for sports studs that it used to be.
The question swirling aroud IMG:Is that transformtion of Forstmann’s new strategy to expand the business in profitable,new directions-or a fumble that cost the company $30 million-plus?
