Who We Are
Co-Founders Raffaella and Marcel first worked together at Liverpool FC where they instantly became a successful pairing combining their diverse backgrounds and expertise, underpinned by rock-solid professionalism and a passion for sales. Above all however, experience, trust and fun were at the centre of their success, a formula they still hold true at BallGame today. Unsurprisingly, during their careers they have both maintained long-standing, trusted relationships with clients and colleagues alike.
Raffaella Valentino
LTA · Octagon · Manchester United · Liverpool FC · UEFA Champions League · UEFA Europa League
Raffaella has worked in sponsorship sales for over 15 years successfully delivering multiple global deals and representing premium rights holders to include Manchester United, Liverpool FC and more recently UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
Fun factRaffaella is a tennis nut…will claim she had a World ranking (unproven) and was a Wimbledon member (proven)…her proudest claim, however, will always be her three young children and being a valued addition to the women in business community.
Marcel Wiegmann
FC Schalke 04 · Liverpool FC
Marcel is a result-driven self-starter with a proven track record of securing multi-million partnerships in the English Premier League and German Bundesliga, driving revenue for rights holders and significant ROIs on the brand side.
Fun factMarcel delivered part of his wedding speech in Gujarati to impress his new in-laws. By his own admission, he should have furthered his studies in it, as after 3 years of marriage all he can talk to them about is how he met his wife.
