Akis Tsolis
Akis Tsolis
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Founder and CEO of ActiveMedia Group, Akis Tsolis has spent nearly three decades shaping the Greek sports, sponsorship and communications industry. His journey in international sport began in 1996 with World Championship projects leading into the Atlanta Olympic Games — and since 2000 he has been a defining presence in sports production, sponsorship and sports management, and a pioneer of sports tourism in Greece since 2008.
On the production and marketing side, Akis has organised and co-produced multiple Greek and FIBA All-Star Games and led the sports marketing operations of 12 basketball clubs. One landmark moment was bringing Turkish Airlines — fresh from its Manchester United deal — to Maroussi BC, during the historic season the club reached the Euroleague Top 16. He has also guided the careers and Olympic paths of two-time Olympic medalist Alexandros Nikolaidis, Olympic medalist Spyros Gianniotis, and Olympians Gelly Skarlatou and Tina Kefala, among others.
Under his leadership, ActiveMedia Group has owned the premium golf space for over a decade — from the Hellenic-Turkish Golf Tournament in 2012 to the Messinia Pro-Am and the Greek/Glyfada Maritime Golf Events — while the agency's Sports Presentation division delivered flawless operations for the Mediterranean Beach Games. Today the group proudly runs NFL initiatives in Greece in official partnership with the NFL and the Los Angeles Chargers.
Under his direction, ActiveMedia Group has worked with leading sports brands and global names across entertainment, technology, gaming and aviation — gathering well over 250 top-tier industry awards in little more than a decade.
Six times named Sports Marketing Agency of the Year — 2019, 2020, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
