For those wanting to break away from the field
About us
We’re a creative agency for those that want to break away from the field. We work in the world of sport. A competitive and often cluttered space, where too often the same ideas surface. We pursue different. We believe that being different gives our clients an edge. That edge helps them break away from their field.

Our brilliant new 3-part documentary 'Dare to Defy' is out next week on Prime Video. A huge well done to everyone involved 🎬 👏
On Monday it was incredibly exciting (and slightly surreal) to attend the premiere of 'Dare to Defy', our new 3-part documentary launching on Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios on 3rd December! 🎥 🍿 Whilst the series explores how the world of sport is striving to become a more inclusive place, it also shows some of the real-life challenges and barriers people still face even today. There's so much great work being done but still so much more to do... this is our way of trying to help with that and certainly not the end. Of course, this wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible hard work, dedication and support of our partners... shoutouts below: 🐎 Our Dark Horses team Steve Howell Mike Warren Matt Readman Jordan Dicks Sean Woodhouse who have worked tirelessly to make this happen. 💪🏼 Richard Whitehead MBE and Adele Roberts for all their time, effort and dedication... as well as allowing the team to follow them around with cameras for months on end. 🙌 Nissan Motor Corporation Leonie Tapley Sophia Villamizar John Parslow Fiona Mackay for being true partners and trusting us to tell this story. A project very close to your hearts but you always trusted & championed the ambition! 🎬 The team at Electric Robin Chris Jones Sam Bendel Ross Brandon for collaborating and producing this beautifully crafted series. 🤝 Fuse Mark de St Croix Bethany Hushon Eilish Convery Peter Wood for working side by side with us in bringing together so many critical elements. 💭 TBWA\London and MG OMD Richard Fitzgerald Natalie Christoforou for helping us make this happen. 📺 And of course, Amazon Ads Cylia Geoffrion Roy Cohen Danny Imperiale Abi Buchan Tracy Woodford Jon Davitt for being a dream to work with right from the start and of course providing a global platform to share this important story with everyone. #DareToDefy #NissanUK #AmazonPrimeVideo #NissanPossibilitiesProject

"Female fans feel underrepresented and frustrated. For many brands, this is because they have fallen into the trap of approaching the women’s game in exactly the same way as they do for the men’s game." Dark Horses' CEO Melissa Robertson talks about female football fandom and explains why brands need a deeper understanding of the way these fans think in Creativebrief. https://lnkd.in/eKEcm9Bf
