Barely two months after making the move to Iran Pro League’s Kheybar Khorramabad FC, Harambee Stars midfielder Antony Akumu has secured a significant partnership with Next-Generation Media Management Agency.
This agency, a part of the global World Media Family, specializes in social media management and promotional services for top athletes across the globe.
In a recent Instagram post, the agency welcomed the former Kaizer Chiefs star, hinting at the long-term nature of their collaboration.
The partnership will see Next-Generation Media manage Akumu’s social media presence, highlighting his journey both on and off the field.
Additionally, the agency will handle the creation of match-day posters and motivational videos, ensuring Akumu stays connected with his growing fanbase as he gears up for international duty with the Harambee Stars.
As Akumu trains with the national squad in preparation for their upcoming AFCON qualifier against Zimbabwe at Nambole Stadium in Uganda, the support from this media partnership is set to bolster his visibility.
Next-Generation Media’s roster includes other high-profile footballers under the World Media Family umbrella, such as former Newcastle United winger Gael Kakuta, and Kevin and Charles Boli, both of whom are currently playing in Iran.
The agency’s expertise in athlete branding is expected to elevate Akumu’s profile as he continues to make strides both in Iran and with the national team.
Since joining Kheybar Khorramabad FC, Akumu has quickly established himself as a key player, featuring in all four of the club’s opening matches.
His contributions have been vital in helping Kheybar secure seventh place in the standings, reflecting his immediate impact on the team.
This partnership with Next-Generation Media marks another milestone in Akumu’s career, as he not only focuses on his performances on the pitch but also on strengthening his brand off it.
