WE HELP GOOD PEOPLE

Because behind every good story or business is great people, and we’re here to help you share it with the world.

OUR STORY

In 2017, our CEO and Founder, Rob, faced a life-changing moment during the Westminster Bridge terror attack. Narrowly escaping harm, the experience shifted his perspective on what truly matters: community, purpose, and the impact we make on others.

Later that year, Rob launched Playfair Marketing, leaving behind a successful career to create something he could be proud of while spending more time with his wife and their daughters.

Playfair has since grown into a thriving agency with a brilliant team who have been helping good people tell their stories, make a difference, and turn their passions and stories into their competitive advantage online.

Oh, and the name? Yep, Playfair is Rob’s middle name. He figured it was finally time to put it to good use!

THE FACES BEHIND PLAYFAIR

Having had several near-death experiences myself and tragically losing my sister to bowel cancer, I am passionate about spending my time with people I care about, helping others wherever I can, and living a life without regrets. I support The Bowel Movement, a small but impactful bowel cancer charity.

David Hewitt

Videographer and Editor
I believe in leaving the world better off than I found it, supporting those in need through a number of charities and also following a lifestyle that reduces my impact on the environment. I'm also a firm believer that we all have a creative streak and I enjoy supporting others to find theirs.

Wynford Dore - Zing Performance
“Rob, you and your team have done a fabulous job for Hudson and our family, thank you so very much. All videos are a very hard watch indeed but we believe you’ve captured the spirit of Hudson perfectly well in addition to imparting the impact of our tremendous loss. The videos will serve as a huge support to Hudson’s Pack Safe appeal. Thanks again Rob, a superb tribute to Hudson, a wonderful young man who’s missed so very much by so many.”

"We had the pleasure of working with Playfair Marketing and from start to finish, their team was easy to work with and maintained consistent communication throughout the process. They demonstrated flexibility in meeting our needs and worked seamlessly with the academics they were filming, ensuring everyone felt comfortable during the shoot.
