About us

Helping you achieve your aims.

A bold statement right?

Where "moonshot" entered the public's vocabulary for the first time in 2020, to some derision we might add, the sentiment isn't a bad one. As brands, we are increasingly seen by the strength of our purpose and conviction. Sales are increasingly driven by value propositions (quality, longevity, responsibility etc..) and cash allows us to build better business's. 

So how can we help?

We amplify your brand message through media, strategy and guidance. We create beautiful films and imagery to inspire, craft and place campaigns that drive call to actions, from drinks retail to engineering, we help your message reach new audiences that you didn't know had a latent desire to join your journey.  

Founded in 2013 by Tommy Wilkinson,  we are embedded in the culture of the outdoor sports world and simultaneously able to bridge the gap to corporate and more traditional industries, in part thanks to Tommy's wider earlier career experience as a marketing manager of a well-known charity and a client base that stretches from ROV developers to artisan Gin distillers.  Of course, racing his mountain bike around the world has also helped DW forge international relations with athletes and brands as well. 

Our focus is to work with brands who share similar values - great product, services and experiences, invested in their people, environmentally responsible, and aiming to make a positive difference in their sector.  

Our story

DWACO was founded in 2013. As a mix of well-respected sports journalists, photographers, cinematographers and brand strategists, we saw an opportunity to amplify the brands that we both love and work for across the globe and conversely those we are surrounded by here in stunning Northumberland. 

We are also, though we would say this, pretty decent craic. Especially on a Friday night where we can often be found bivvy'ing with a dram. 

Our holistic approach

We view each project as a meeting of the physical experiences we seek, with the digital content that inspires us. It takes more than just aesthetics to create work that makes people smile and take action - it takes an innate understanding of being alive, in the moment, and how to amplify those experiences.  

We work with you in a collegiate style - ideas are shared and bonds are built. Sometimes you might have a specific brief for us, and at other times you might not have developed your ideas fully - ideas and conceptual work are a big part of our remit. 

Why the holistic approach? Looking at the bigger picture allows us to focus on what you need when you need it, and how we are going to make it happen in a time and cost efficient way.

Our culture

We are problem solvers - our equipment is our tools for the job. As well as having great equipment, we are also A2 Certificate of Competency (A2CofC) drone operators.
