Their creation of engaging, creative content has both helped generate significant media coverage and raised the profile of our brand. ”

Anton Ivanov, Business Development Director, COPYBET

“ We first worked with Performance for the Dubai debut of SailGP and, when it was clear we were returning for a second year, we didn't hesitate for who we would work with again. Performance Comms' knowledge of the market, key stakeholders and the media, as well as how quickly they got up to speed with our brand, was impressive. And, working with them on the ground at the Dubai Sail Grand Prix really felt like we were just working with an extension of our team. Every client’s agency dream! ”

Sacha Kemp, Communications Director, SAILGP

Neil Reeve, Manager, Product Comms, NISSAN EUROPE

James Dimmock, Social Media & Influencer Manager, MICHELIN

Cricket at the Olympics, it’s just not cricket!

Let’s set the record straight, I don’t like cricket, I love it* but cricket at the 2028 Olympics, is that really necessary?
