The Deep

A Film By - The Deep. 'BELFAST' is our new short film, where we embedded ourselves with the fans of @caernarfontown in their historic European tie against Belfast's Crusaders. Music by @alffa_band

THE DEEEEEP

Football is changing, and so are we. Heritage and identity have become key differentiators for football clubs. Those who understand and channel these concepts are quickly rising to the top. Commercially, culturally, creatively. Our partnership with Football Heritage — who are a key driver of this movement — ensures that both parties are able to deliver cutting-edge and interesting work. Not just for our clients, but now in a more front-facing manner. Building in public. This partnership has three key ‘p’s. Podcast: we will be delivering a podcast series on identity in football speaking to some of the most interesting figures across a variety of disciplines. Print: football culture is physical, and we will not turn our back on that. There’s a print run in the pipeline bringing thought-provoking writing to football fans around the world in a gritty fanzine. Process: the key part of ensuring we deliver our clients the best work around brand and identity means continually refining our process. Football Heritage brings a fresh perspective, and new way of doing things. Likewise, we can provide FH with access and insights previously gate-kept. All in, this is an exciting moment, and a key part of our 2025 roadmap for growth after finishing the year on our strongest quarter.

Diving 𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒓 than we ever have before. We're delighted to announce our partnership with The Deep Creative. Don't let the officiality of it put you off - we've been friends with the guys at The Deep for a while, and this is our way of formalising what is already a strong relationship. It makes total sense.

@OUFCOfficial have emerged as frontrunners in the creative football club stakes. From amazing music collaborations to a really well crafted brand identity. So when they asked us to brand their new run club — the first to our knowledge — we accepted, and immediately wanted to enhance their rich existing brand framework. So, here’s United Run Dept. A thoroughly enjoyable project. Thanks for the trust to the great team at Oxford United 🙏

One of our most recent projects — creating a unique brand identity for a foot care brand focussed on the everyday athlete. 🆘

👏

We helped Oxford United celebrate Cam Brannagan’s momentous 300 appearances for the club with some graphics and merchandise. A really fun project!

Listen to one of our founders Edd talk about identity in football. His thoughts, and a glimpse into what we do.

Discovery. Identity. Emotion. Football is a fan’s connection to place, people, and the lens through which the world is understood.

This is what we’re all about.

@DewiOwen10 @OvalWays 🙌🙌

@OvalWays @thedeepcreative It’s very different to anything else that anyone is doing in the Welsh league - progressive 👌

Said it before and make no apologies for repeating myself: @thedeepcreative are smashing the match day posters this season, really enjoying their efforts 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💛💚

@OvalWays Thank you Paul 🙏

Sometimes we dream of a world where football is only played at night. Magic.

We set out to make @CaernarfonTown *the* standout club in Wales for identity and culture. A long way to go, and a lot of exciting work in the pipeline, but seeing posts like this instil the belief that we’re on the right path. Thanks @V_S_studios.

Thanks for the support @_footyheritage. These guys are doing great work for the culture of our game. And what part identity and heritage plays in it.

@Amcgrory_ @DundalkFC 🤝

Fair play lads @DundalkFC

What’s happening at @DundalkFC is awful. Football clubs are much more than the matches at the weekend. We have a friend, who the club means the world to. Not just him, and his family, but his community. A healthy club = a healthy community. We’d like to offer Dundalk FC our full service, pro bono, to help them get into a better place, and utilise their identity to drive fan engagement and revenue. The process: - Deep dive into heritage and culture of the club. - Strategies utilising the data and insights we collect, to match the club’s ambitions. - Project management and direction on the execution of these in partnership with the club. If anybody at Dundalk FC wants to add the same value to fan engagement and commercial growth as we have done at many other clubs — please contact us. A strong identity is a strong foundation for growth. We’d be happy to help.
