Empowering the Next Generation of High-Performance Leaders
iFOLIO Brand Ambassadors don't just sign deals; they master high-performance digital marketing software.  Through this immersive program, athletes learn to market a company, scale their personal influence, and build a sophisticated digital brand that serves them long after their competitive careers. 

2026 Impact & Performance:
The 2026 iFOLIO NIL Ambassador class represents the pinnacle of collegiate excellence. Selected through a rigorous nationwide process evaluating over 1,000 athletes, these leaders were chosen for their exceptional athletic and academic records.
While building their digital footprints with iFOLIO, our 2026 class dominated on the national stage:

• 9 Standout Ambassadors from across the Power 4 conferences.

• 5 Athletes competed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament.

• 3 Elite Leaders reached the Sweet Sixteen.

In its fourth year, the program has expanded to a national footprint, featuring standout athletes from the University of Kentucky, University of Iowa, University of North Carolina, University of Southern California, University of Georgia, and Georgia Tech.

The Foundation: Innovation
This groundbreaking initiative began as a strategic collaboration between iFOLIO Founder & CEO Jean Marie Richardson and legendary coach Nell Fortner. Driven by a commitment to help female student-athletes grow their influence beyond the court, iFOLIO equips ambassadors with professional marketing skills, a patented personal brand portfolio, and the digital infrastructure to secure high-value NIL opportunities.

The program has been praised by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) as “The way NIL is meant to be.”

2026 Sales Ambassadors:
In 2026, the initiative expanded into the iFOLIO Sales Ambassador Program. This track offers business-oriented leaders the opportunity to join iFOLIO in innovating the future of digital marketing and communications. These ambassadors gain hands-on experience in enterprise engagement, preparing them for high-impact careers in the technology and business sectors.
