About Direct Adventures

Small Dogs. Big Perspectives.

Direct Adventures began with two little dachshunds, two very different personalities and a simple idea: the way you look at the world changes what you discover.

We just gave them job titles.

Stories inspired by real personalities.

Direct Adventures creates stories and experiences inspired by Izzie and Anna: two real miniature dachshunds with very different ways of seeing the world.

Izzie observes. Anna investigates.

Their adventures bring together storytelling, humour and the wonderfully opinionated nature of dachshunds, creating something children can enjoy, adults can recognise and dachshund people know all too well.

Children see an adventure.
Adults see their world.
Dachshund people see their dogs.

Part of Something Bigger

Direct Adventures is part of Direct Networks.

Direct Networks brings together a family of businesses built around a shared belief: better things happen when people are given the space to think differently, work differently and explore what’s possible.

From organisational transformation and leadership to operating models and storytelling, each Direct business has its own purpose, while sharing the same DNA.
