Athlete to agency
It all started in the mountains of Scotland
Humble beginnings
Founded by ex-World Cup mountain bike rider Stu Thomson, Cut Media began when a career-ending injury meant swapping the bike for a camera, and a whole new adventure in filmmaking began.
Our early years were driven by one goal—collaborating with athletes to place their sports and talents at the heart of creative entertainment and captivate mainstream audiences.
Fast-forward a decade, and Cut Media has created some of the most successful and iconic sports content the world has seen—notably with long-time collaborator Danny MacAskill, with the pair achieving hundreds of millions of YouTube views.
Squad goals
This lot here makes us who we are.
We’ve evolved a lot since those early days. Based at our studio in Glasgow, our crew is a passionate team of athletes, sports fans, creative thinkers, and problem solvers who put their heart and soul into everything they do.
Fuelled by caffeine and a relentless drive to challenge the norm, our team continually pushes us—and you—to see things differently, always moving forward on elevating the way people connect with sports.
The power of sports
We’re here to tell sports stories in an inspiring and relatable way. From day one, it’s always been about collaborating with athletes to bring your vision, our creative, and their talent to life.
Our focus hasn’t changed—connecting athletes to audiences is what we do best. From Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen to Valentino Rossi and Geraint Thomas, we’ve worked with the biggest names in sports to create content people actually want to watch and engage with.
