OUR STORY
Founded in 2023, DRIFT is a digital agency built exclusively for athletes and sports brands.
Think of us as your digital creative partner, with a national footprint. We carefully bring together the UK’s brightest designers, developers, writers and content creators - all of whom share a passion for sport - to deliver scroll-stopping brands, websites and campaigns.
Our overarching mission is to give professional athletes the foundations to thrive in life after sport.
We support the transition into entrepreneurship by bringing business ideas to life and building brands that succeed in the digital world.
We also help clubs, federations and agencies communicate their story to a global digital audience through the power of design, copy and film.
WHY DRIFT?
The name DRIFT stems from our founder Joe Davis’ experience transitioning away from a 10-year career in professional football. Without clear direction and a loss of identity, retired athletes are in danger of drifting through life without ever rediscovering their purpose. This is what we call ‘the drift’ and it forms the basis of why we exist - to help you avoid it and to instead lay the foundations for a successful entrepreneurial career alongside, or after, professional sport.
Meet the FOUNDER
JOE DAVIS
DRIFT was born out of Joe’s passion for helping athletes launch businesses, either in tandem with their sports career or in retirement, along with his creative flair and expertise in digital communications.
Having experienced first-hand the challenges that can arise when transitioning away from full-time football into another career, Joe is now committed to making the process a seamless one for as many athletes as possible, bridging the gap between sport and business and giving individuals the confidence to pursue entrepreneurial careers.
