BUILT AROUND THE GAME.

1457 was founded by director, photographer and creative strategist Ollie Allison, after a career spent working across golf, sport and the brands that surround them.

Growing up in his Dad’s professional shop, golf came long before advertising, filmmaking or photography. That understanding of the game, its history, people, humour, rituals and peculiarities, still shapes the way 1457 approaches every brief.

Today, 1457 works with brands, tournaments and individuals across the game, combining that golf-native perspective with strategy, creative direction and world-class production.
