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 the start of a whole new adventure.
From day one, we’ve believed that behind every sport are human truths that unite fans and athletes, driving their sport’s culture, dedication, and fandom.
Our vision from the start has been clear: collaborating with athletes to place their passion and talent at the heart of the story, bringing sport to life in a way we can all feel, be part of, and that lasts.
Over the past decade, this vision has shaped our work, helping us create some of the most iconic and emotive sports content in the world—not just seen, but felt.
Squad goals
This lot here makes us who we are.
We’ve come a long way since the early days. Based at our studio in Glasgow, we’re a tight-knit team of athletes, sports fans, creative thinkers, and problem solvers who pour everything into our work.
Fuelled by caffeine and a relentless drive to challenge the norm, we always push each other (and you) to see things differently.
To move people, shift perspectives, and raise the bar for how fans connect with the sports they love.
Great content isn’t just seen, it’s felt.
We unlock what we call the Human Truths in sport—the stuff that connects fans and athletes and builds the culture around them.
Because people give sport its soul—the grit, joy, struggle, fun, creativity, action and everything else that makes fans love it so much. We tap into those human truths and turn them into creative rocket fuel.
From Lewis Hamilton and the England Women’s Cricket team to Max Verstappen and Marianne Vos, we’ve helped brands build athlete campaigns and create content that actually makes a meaningful and lasting impact.
