Encore Sports & Entertainment is a brand development, licensing, and consulting firm at 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Suite 250, Del Mar, CA 92014, specializing in athlete marketing representation and sports and entertainment licensing. Founded in 2004 by Chris Stuart, the company grew out of Stuart's tenure as Senior Director of Licensing and Acquisitions at the Upper Deck Company, where he recruited and negotiated exclusive agreements with athletes including Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, David Beckham, Peyton Manning, and Derek Jeter. Stuart launched his sports career with the San Diego Chargers in their player personnel and marketing departments and holds a Juris Doctor from the University of San Diego School of Law, where he has been a member of the California State Bar since 1996. The Jimmy Durante Boulevard office sits just south of the Del Mar Fairgrounds, placing the company within walking distance of one of Southern California's most iconic sports and entertainment venues. Encore's team approach combines expertise in law, contract negotiation, marketing, philanthropy, and social media to represent professional athletes and corporations across the NFL, NBA, MLB, and beyond. The firm's boutique model deliberately departs from large-scale corporate agencies, devoting focused, individualized resources to each client while applying the same caliber of negotiation skill that secured landmark endorsement deals for legendary athletes. The firm's Del Mar base also neighbors Del Mar Racing, a fitting location for a company deeply rooted in the intersection of professional sports and brand strategy. Encore can be reached at 760-438-5705 or through its website contact form.
