About BEN

Ben Winneg is an entertainment/celebrity talent procurement professional, with agency and pro team experience.

With ProVentures, Winneg excelled in the role of Marketing Services Coordinator.  His duties included all facets of the company’s talent procurement business. This led to deals with Venus Williams (Intel), David Robinson (AT&T U-verse), Betty White (Intel), Todd Gurley (Savannah Morning News), and Joe Montana (BMW) to name a few. Always a quick study, Winneg has a knack for knowing what clients want and which personalities will be the perfect fit. 

A die-hard baseball aficionado and Boston Red Sox’s fan he entered the world of sports marketing with the Washington Nationals. During his internship with the MLB team he assisted in the team’s public relations department. This included his first interaction with sports talent when he was responsible for the coordination of interviews for the players and coaches with the national and local media. This put him in the middle of the season’s biggest event when Nationals manager Jim Riggleman abruptly resigned during an 11 game winning streak and the team brought in fan favorite Davy Johnson to run the ball club.

Following his internship with the Nats, Winneg worked in the football division of the global sports talent representation agency, Octagon. In his role, he assisted the group in the recruitment of draft eligible college talent as well as the procurement of appearances for NFL stars Marshawn Lynch (Seattle Seahawks) and Justin Tuck (New York Giants).
