We're always aiming to push the boundaries, working closely with our talent to produce forward-thinking content for their channels and this partnership gives us the freedom to delve even deeper and do more. We're excited to provide fans with a unique insight into the lives of Eddie, Anthony and Alex over the next twelve months.” Managing Partner of SBX Studios Rowan Wilkinson said, “Our focus at SBX Studios is to develop authentic and original content collaboratively with talent and this partnership with Facebook allows us to do this in it’s purest form, whilst also drawing on the social media expertise of our sister company Soapbox London. We’re fully committed to making a big success of this partnership and we’re very grateful to Facebook for the backing.” Cris Bowyer, Athlete Partnerships Manager at Facebook said, “We’re delighted to be partnering with SBX on this. Giving athletes an authentic and purposeful voice is at the heart of what we do. SBX and Soapbox London have led the way when it comes to athlete-driven storytelling and innovative content on our platforms, with both Anthony and their entire talent portfolio. We can’t wait to work with them to continue supporting their athletes during what is shaping up to be an incredible year of sport ahead” Placing talent-led development at the heart of offering, SBX Studios was set up in October 2020 by leading sports communications agency Soapbox London and Anthony Joshua to provide original talent-focused sports and entertainment content for brands and broadcasters.  |
