PLAYBRAVE

Serving style, performance & reach

OVERVIEW

Born from the frost-bitten grit of the Lake District and launched in 2010, PlayBrave is a premium British brand crafting performance tennis and fitness apparel engineered to go the distance. Inspired by elite sport and extreme conditions, PlayBrave’s collection is designed to help athletes chase their personal best — whether they're battling it out on the court or braving the elements outdoors. With royal fans and tennis royalty like former World No.1 and Wimbledon doubles champion Jamie Murray on board, PlayBrave isn’t just about looking sharp — it’s about performing even sharper.

STRATEGY & EXECUTION

Our campaign was rooted in four key pillars: bold storytelling, strategic partnerships, relentless media outreach, and powerful content.

PR & Partnerships

  • We activated PlayBrave’s sponsorship of Jamie Murray and The Boodles, creating compelling media narratives that positioned the brand alongside top-tier tennis talent.

  • Managed on-the-ground event logistics, from influencer hospitality and coaching clinics to real-time press office operations.

Content & Channels

  • Developed a full-spectrum content engine: daily blogs, high-res photography, social-ready videos, and exclusive player interviews brought PlayBrave’s story to life.

  • Oversaw daily channel management across Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), engaging with fans and fuelling community growth.

Influencer & Media Outreach

  • Built a robust influencer and blogger network to amplify the brand across lifestyle and performance spaces.

  • Delivered strategic product placement, competitions, and reader giveaways to drive buzz and trial.

Paid & Editorial Media

  • Negotiated and launched premium placements with Tennis Threads and other key verticals.

  • Wrote and designed punchy advertorials to spotlight the collection’s technical edge and sleek style.

OBJECTIVES

Our mission? Put PlayBrave firmly on the radar of tennis, fitness, and sportswear enthusiasts — in the UK and around the world. We were brought in to drive awareness and online sales by launching their latest technical tennis collection. Central to our campaign was PlayBrave’s high-profile partnership as the official clothing sponsor of The Boodles Tennis at Stoke Park — a stylish summer showcase where luxury meets sport.

RESULTS & IMPACT

The campaign smashed expectations and served up results:

  • 158 pieces of media coverage

  • 82.9 million online readership reach

  • 16.1K estimated article views

  • 231 social shares

  • 116 YouTube views on custom video content

  • 25 average domain authority for featured placements

PlayBrave’s presence was not just seen — it was felt. From luxury lawn tennis events to global online communities, we positioned PlayBrave where it belongs: at the intersection of performance, prestige, and passion.
