A new Glasgow-based brand, marketing and PR agency specialising in the sports and fitness industries has launched as part of the Tried&True Group.

With further locations in Harrogate, London and Sunderland, the agency will offer marketing and PR services, content creation and management, SEO, and web development tailored to clients with a presence in the sports industry.

Called CHEAT, it said it aims to adopt a data-driven approach to sports marketing, generating deeper insights for clients and a service that "endeavours to increase their brand visibility, audience reach and revenue".

The firm said CHEAT provides its clients "an unfair advantage in the marketplace by offering clients unmatched insider knowledge from both a sporting and marketing perspective".


The Herald:


It is launching with several clients on board, including RugbyPass and their portfolio of publications, Olympic Athlete and World Champion Sarah Stevenson and a business consultancy deal with former premier league star Victor Anichebe.

CHEAT’s founder and managing director David Winskill said: “My approach is and always has been to build a culture that allows people to thrive and do their thing whilst having a good time along the way and Mick is very much of the same mind.”

Founder and chief executive Mick Tilley said: “Between us, we can offer something that other agencies can’t, and that’s a wealth of experience across both the marketing and sports industries, we’re a living Venn diagram. Between our combined experience and an innovative data-led approach to marketing, we know that we can provide clients with exactly what they need.”
