Annie Brooks | Endurance Athlete, Content Creator & Disability Advocate Annie Brooks (@heyanniebrooks) is a UK-based endurance athlete, content creator, disability advocate and passionate adventure seeker who believes life is there to be experienced, even when it doesn't go to plan. Diagnosed with epilepsy in adulthood, Annie has built her platform around challenging perceptions of invisible disabilities, embracing opportunities and encouraging others to make the most of life. From competing at the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, to tackling triathlons, running events and outdoor adventures, Annie shares the realities of pursuing ambitious goals, including the training, setbacks, humour and moments of joy along the way. But Annie is much more than an athlete. An award-winning blogger, experienced public speaker and enthusiastic film, music and pop culture fan, she creates content spanning endurance sport, travel, lifestyle, entertainment, nostalgia and everyday adventures. Her approachable, personality-led storytelling connects with audiences who appreciate authenticity, positivity and discovering new experiences. ## Beyond Social Media Annie offers brands more than traditional influencer content. With experience across media interviews, podcasts, public speaking and panel discussions, including a Commonwealth Games panel, she is a confident communicator who understands the importance of representing organisations professionally while remaining relatable and genuine. Alongside Instagram and video content, Annie maintains her established website, offering opportunities for in-depth, SEO-focused editorial features and evergreen storytelling that can continue attracting relevant readers beyond the initial social campaign. Her content naturally introduces products, destinations and experiences to people who might not otherwise be actively searching for them. ## Media & Brand Experience Annie's story and adventures have featured across publications and platforms including Metro, Women's Running, 220 Triathlon, BBC Radio and other specialist lifestyle, sporting and disability publications. Her previous brand and ambassador relationships include OOFOS, Athletic Brewing, Echelon Fitness and major sporting events. She brings experience in content creation, brand storytelling, product features, event coverage, interviews and advocacy-led campaigns. ## Current Focus & Collaboration Opportunities Following an ankle injury that interrupted her IRONMAN plans, Annie is documenting her return to running, with runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend at Walt Disney World in February 2027 as a key goal. Her journey reflects the message at the heart of her platform: setbacks may change the plan, but they don't have to stop the adventure. Annie welcomes collaborations across: - Sport & Endurance: Training, running, triathlon, equipment and recovery - Travel & Experiences: Destinations, theme parks, hotels, events and adventure - Lifestyle & Wellness: Everyday products, active living and personal wellbeing - Entertainment & Pop Culture: Film, music, nostalgia, launches and experiences - Disability & Inclusion: Awareness campaigns, accessibility, speaking and authentic representation ## Why Partner with Annie? Annie doesn't believe that successful brand partnerships should feel like advertisements. Her strength lies in introducing brands and experiences naturally through her own adventures, interests and storytelling, building connections with people who value genuine recommendations over overly scripted promotion. With a combination of sporting credibility, lived experience, media confidence and creative enthusiasm, Annie offers brands a relatable voice capable of engaging audiences beyond a single niche. For partnerships, ambassador opportunities, campaigns, events and creative collaborations, Annie welcomes conversations with brands that share her enthusiasm for making the most of life.

Genisys Credit Union, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, has done something most brands never do with athlete sponsorship: it kept renewing. What started as a single partnership with Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has become a multi-year, two-athlete program that Genisys has renewed and expanded every season since 2024, adding Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in 2025 and renewing him again in 2026.
