Empowering Female Athletes: A New Era
In the world of sports, women have long been sidelined, but that is changing. Mother Nature took note, and in 2019, a new chapter began for women's sports. Jessica Robertson received an unexpected call from U.S. Women's National Soccer Team star Alex Morgan, who was preparing for the prestigious 2019 FIFA World Cup. Morgan was eager to disrupt the media landscape by showcasing the powerful stories of female athletes—a mission that resonated deeply with Robertson, then head of content at the Players’ Tribune.
"Alex was tired of waiting for others to invest in female athletes' narratives," said Robertson, who recognized the importance of amplifying women's voices in sports. Together, they formed Togethxr, a dynamic media company dedicated to redefining the portrayal of women in athletics. Their unique platform blends evocative storytelling with community engagement to paint a fuller picture of women in sports.
From Startup to Cultural Powerhouse
Since its launch in March 2021, Togethxr has transformed from an audacious startup to a beacon of empowerment in the sports community. Teaming up with renowned athletes like snowboarder Chloe Kim and swimmer Simone Manuel, Togethxr has generated continuous revenue growth, illustrating the strong market demand for female-centric sports media.
As the company builds a thriving community around women's sports, it is set to inspire a generation of young athletes who now see their dreams reflected in a more accessible media landscape. Unlike traditional sports platforms, Togethxr champions the athlete's journey, focusing on individual stories that unite their audience.
The Future of Women’s Sports Media
The media landscape is shifting. With Togethxr at the helm, women’s sports are not just being covered; they are celebrated. The company's innovative approach serves as a model for future endeavors, demonstrating that when women take control of their narratives, they create more than just visibility—they carve out spaces that challenge the status quo. This shift in storytelling enriches the community, giving voices to those who have long been unheard and paving the way for equality.
