OUR STORY
Filip Zwicky Agency was founded in August 2000 under the name of Scandinavian Raceweb with the vision to innovate and explore new ways of serving the horse racing industry in the then-new era of internet marketing.
Filip's racing background comes from growing up a mile from Klampenborg Racecourse on the outskirts of Copenhagen.
During high school he assisted the Danish Jockey Club constructing yearling sales catalogues, racing annuals and editorial writings for the official Scandinavian Racing Magazine.
From 2001 to 2007 Filip was Head of the Press and Marketing at Klampenborg Racecourse, founding and directing the popular "Irish Day at the Races" and co-reinventing the race programme "Galoppen".
And a few other things.
