Safeguarding the future of the Thoroughbred industry.

Driving positive change for the longevity of our sport, by providing you with the tools to make it happen.
 
The power of being proactive is not just about avoiding a crisis — it’s about being prepared when one inevitably comes our way. By getting real, organising our messaging, and proactively addressing issues, we can reframe potential crises as opportunities for progress.

Our Clients

Driven by a mission to enhance the public perception of horse racing, we partner with businesses, individuals and governing bodies to thoughtfully improve how they—and the sport as a whole—are viewed and respected.

The dedicated team at Kick Future combines expert strategists and innovative marketers to lead you through every aspect of perception marketing and crisis communication, all with one goal in mind: securing the thoroughbred industry’s future in a rapidly evolving world and ever-changing public expectations.

1 Get Real

Every good plan begins with a discovery session. At this stage we take a deep dive into your business or organisation, hosting an open discussion to identify and communicate all potential issues that could arise.

2 Get Organised

Now that we’ve got a clear picture, it’s time to build your strategy toolbox. This is where we create a solid plan tailored just for you. We’re talking smart content, crisis communication strategies, and proactive ways to keep your audience engaged. It’s all about being prepared, so you’re never caught off guard.

3 Get Loud

Finally, let’s get your message out there the right way. We’ll use effective PR strategies and audience engagement tactics to make sure your story is heard loud and clear across all the right channels. The goal? Build trust, shape a positive perception, and set you up for long-term success.
