Headhunted by Slazenger’s CEO, Alexei Hamblin is the 23-year old put in charge of the brand’s recent Off-Court collection.

Hamblin created videos on TikTok of him browsing Sports Direct stores and explaining what he would change about items to give them a more luxury feel. This resulted in the British sports equipment brand, founded in 1881, inviting the TikTok influencer to have full creative control over this refreshing campaign.

In 1935, Slazenger produced the first fluorescent tennis ball, as well as the first synthetic leather football - incredible history, right?

Unfortunately for the historic company, the brand fell off from what it used to be to the public, even after its bright orange ball won the England 1966 World Cup. They took a leap of faith by hiring Hamblin - a huge risk to try and re-capture an audience that they don’t have much experience with.

Well… what do you think of the outcome? 🧐

Our locations agency has been in the biz for over 25 years now.

When the company was first established, really the only existing option clients had to shoot their campaigns was to book a standard photographic studio at places like The Worx or The Lemonade Factory.

Our founder saw a gap in the market and 1st Option Locations was born 👶

We couldn’t count the number of shoots we’ve made happen, but it’s a lot! From fashion editorials and interior spreads, to short films and pet shoots, we’ve done it all.

at Richmond Road back in ‘08 ☺️

This shoot location was one of the first to join our location library (and is still here, iconic) - the same library that’s been building since 2001, and now offers 500+ shoot locations of all shapes, styles and sizes.

This beautiful campaign is shot at Elm Grove - our contemporary location house which was clearly perfect for the vibe of this shoot 🙌

🆕📍👋 The Family Edit - Anerley is a Victorian semi-detached home set within a rare 1/3 acre plot in South London.

A warm, inviting and generously proportioned home with beautiful period character throughout. Downstairs the kitchen-diner connects via double doors to the lounge, which then opens out to the garden through French doors.

The true standout is the garden: a vast lawn with pond and shed, dedicated children’s play areas (including swing, slide, sunken trampoline and muddy kitchen), multiple seating spots with a hammock, and a substantial decked area - offering a huge amount of versatile, usable outdoor space.
