The agency has been appointed following a competitive pitch process to support the prestigious golf club to enhance its profile and develop engagement with its audience and community.
Founded in 1887, Royal Ascot Golf Club was granted Royal status by Queen Victoria and is set in 150 acres of wooded Crown land off Winkfield Road and adjacent to the world-famous racecourse. The club’s new course was formally opened in May 2006 having moved from its original location on Ascot Heath in the middle of the racecourse a year earlier.
