Over six years, we managed Voltaire Design UK’s marketing, focusing on social media growth. Through strategic content and consistent branding, reach, engagement, and following increased significantly, strengthening the brand’s presence in the equestrian industry.
We also managed marketing campaigns and trade stands at major events like Badminton, Burghley, and the London International, aligning sponsorship and on-site activation to maximise visibility and drive audience engagement.
A key highlight was the three-year Badminton Grassroots sponsorship, where we focused on brand placement and target audience impact. We also partnered with key riders across disciplines, creating authentic visibility and credibility for the brand.

We identified and developed management processes for commercial videographers and created a new role for competitor video reels, working closely with content creators to produce engaging, high-quality material for social media and other marketing channels.
In addition, we managed social media strategy, marketing for ticket launches and sales, merchandise promotion, and all aspects of the show, collaborating closely with programme publishers to deliver cohesive branding and a seamless audience experience.
