Derek & Margay
Media Managers
Derek, known as @wodphotography, serves as the Director of Media, while Margay is the Media Director & Marketing. Together, we took on the challenge of building the CF Events concept, starting in 2021 when we partnered with Karen and Joost to take over the Dutch Throwdown. That marked the beginning of an exciting journey that has continued to grow since.
In our roles, we manage the entire media experience for all our events, ensuring everything aligns with our shared vision. Margay oversees daily media operations, while Derek leads the media team with photography, videography, and graphic design. On event days, we guide a talented media crew to capture every moment and share the energy and excitement of each throwdown.
We’re excited for what’s next and can’t wait to continue building unforgettable experiences!
