“We have experienced significant month-over-month revenue growth with AVO x Yea Alabama since we launched our first influencer event in September at the University of Alabama, both online and at the campus bookstores. These influencer campus events coupled with the Greek life photo shoots and ambassador program are creating an amplification model that is very scalable and powerful,” said Hil Davis the Chief Executive Officer of Digital Brands Group.
This special event offers students, alumni, families and all fans of both Alabama and Clemson a unique opportunity to attend a meet-and-greet with Sydney, as well as sign AVO x Yea Alabama apparel (https://store.yea-alabama.com/collections/avo).

Additionally, AVO and Yea Alabama are committed to generate future NIL market driven opportunities for female student-athletes, which is one of the first NIL initiatives directed specifically to female student-athletes. To support this initiative, Sydney will also share a special discount code for Bama x Avo apparel on her socials, just in time for holiday gifting.
