The team behind Ninethree

A specialist team for brands and agencies working in motorsport. We turn a partnership with a team, a series or a driver into an experience that shows why the brand is there.

Rob Statham

Co-founder

Rob has been building live events and brand spaces since 2010, from modular structures and large-scale venue transformations to fan zones on the Formula 1 calendar, for brands including Aramco, Disney, F1 Arcade, Hot Wheels and Uniqlo. Beyond F1 he has delivered across Formula E, BTCC, WEC and Goodwood Festival of Speed, and outside motorsport at Roland Garros, the Australian Open and the Paris 2024 Olympics. A Porsche guy at heart, he takes his cues from surf and skate culture, fashion, design and the outdoors.

Jake Smith

Co-founder

Jake has spent nearly a decade in experiential marketing and Formula 1, delivering fan zones, paddock builds and touring activations at Grands Prix across Europe, the Middle East and the Americas for brands including Allwyn, AWS, eBay and IBM. An aerospace engineering graduate, he brings a systems thinker’s eye to every project, and a feel for culture from his early days promoting and producing underground electronic music events. Off track he’s into classic cars, fashion, design and art, and never far from a good coffee.
