Across all of our capabilities, we intend to continue to set the highest standard for creative excellence in the ever-evolving world of entertainment marketing.”

The DBC London executive team comprises creative partners Joe Talboys, Luke Butland, and Geoff Court, with Trish Garcia-Tuohy managing business operations. Operating as the European arm of DBC and sharing a deep love for all things gaming, Talboys, Butland, Court, and Garcia- Tuohy boast specialist experience across large- scale marketing projects for major video game developers and publishers in EMEA.

Geoff said, “Dark Burn is renowned for their absolute commitment to the craft, so, as gamers ourselves with a deep respect for the process, we couldn’t be more excited to join the team and double down on their authentic ‘gamer-first’ approach in Europe. With the full resources of Trailer Park Group at our back, this expansion represents an incredible opportunity to deliver DBC’s signature brand of excellence to the European market.”
