Helene Hope, head of global brand marketing at Umbro said: “We teamed up with Common Ground for our Spring / Summer 2023 Pro Training campaign.

We could not have found a better partner to bring their unique storytelling approach to the project – a truthful, empathetic, and visually beautiful approach.”
