Joachim Davy is a seasoned creative leader and media specialist with over a decade of experience in video production, content strategy, live event production, and visual design, primarily within the sports industry.
Starting as a content creator driven by his passion for table tennis and videography, Joachim rose to become the global Content and Creative Director for World Table Tennis (WTT). His experience includes managing, mentoring and training teams of up to 25 professionals worldwide and overseeing all aspects of content creation, from social media and websites to live sports broadcasts. His team has handled media work for more than 40 events annually, including major competitions like the World Championships, World Cups, and WTT Grand Smashes. One of his most significant accomplishments was driving the rebranding of WTT, where he played a key role in defining the visual identity of table tennis on the global stage. He was responsible for redesigning the centre show-court, which led to the creation of the celebrated WTT Infinity Arena, unveiled during the Singapore Smash 2022.
In addition, he oversaw the production of event content for LED screens and live broadcasts, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience for fans both in-person and online. Known for his hands-on leadership style, Joachim remains deeply involved in all areas of production. He actively contributes to animation, video editing, cinematography, graphic design, sound design, and more, with deep expertise in tools like After Effects. His leadership goes beyond team management; he also introduced a new Digital Asset Management (DAM) system at WTT, streamlining the organization and distribution of content from WTT’s extensive video and photo archive, which dates back to 1935. Joachim played a key role in producing corporate events, live shows and supporting broadcast teams by providing content, graphics, and ensuring effective content delivery. His work on digital rights protection and optimizing the backends of public-facing channels has been instrumental in driving revenue and maintaining control over distributed content.
From managing live event presentations to collaborating with broadcast teams, Joachim is recognized for his versatility and deep understanding of the entire content production lifecycle. His ability to combine strategic vision with technical expertise has established him as a creative leader in the sports industry.
