Our pedigree speaks for itself. We remove the risks. Have genuinely influential contacts. And create rewarding commercial deals.
Our work is performed with the highest level of skill and the utmost discretion.
We’ve unearthed, pitched and brokered partnerships worth hundreds of millions of pounds worldwide.
Commercially we can help you close investment opportunities, broker acquisitions; identify sponsorship opportunities for brands; unearth partnerships for clubs; structure rights packages; help you activate rights or craft a merchandise & brand licensing strategy.
We also advise on broadcast standards/technical requirements; negotiate rights and develop strategies to maximise TV and digital revenue.
Our experience of iGaming is second to none. As founders and directors, we’ve run the likes of William Hill, Lottoland, CelebPoker, Boss Media, Turf TV, The Tote and other brands. As consultants, we’ve advised many global players, including Caesars Palace, Playtech, Harrahs, 32Red, Betway and more.
