04The firm
Not the biggest firm in the room. The one that knows the people in it.
Headquartered in the Pacific Northwest. Working across Europe.
Dark Horse is small by design and shows up to win.
an American firm with an American network: growers, processors, dealers, agencies and officials
years inside American agriculture: sales, operations, management and the conferences where the industry does business
of an international agricultural industry association, and the relationships across Europe that come with it
- Dutch and American commerceDeep expertise in international communications and commerce with the Dutch, and the ability to translate one culture's directness into the other's consensus.
- An operator, not an observerWe have run sales and operations inside American agriculture and closed the deals. We know how American buyers decide and what a dealer needs to say yes.
- National communications experienceYears spent representing a national American sporting tradition to press and public. We know how to tell a company's story so that American buyers, agencies and communities listen.
- Conferences and networksWe know who attends the international agricultural gatherings, who decides, and how to put you in the right room on either side of the Atlantic.
The principal
Dark Horse is led by one principal: sixteen years inside American agriculture, raised in the American West, with a decade of business done directly between Dutch and American companies. You work with her from the first call to the last negotiation.
Not a team assigned after the pitch. That is who picks up the phone.
Case studies and impact reports are available on request, under NDA. Ask for them here.
A dark horse wins because nobody was watching it. Our clients arrive in America with the right partners already in place, before their competitors know they have landed.
