[ The story ]

The brief in 30 seconds.

Grow a new club fast without pulling a single member from the owner's existing club down the road.

01 · The problem

Same postcode, two clubs.

Protecting the existing membership was as important as growing the new one, in a market full of competitors.

02 · The play

A content ecosystem.

Separate identities for each club, then a content library big enough to carry the presale and the first six months.

03 · The result

800 to 1,589.

800 founding members by opening day at $31 a lead, nearly doubling within six months.

[ The positioning ]

One owner, two identities.

Each club got its own value points, strengths and reasons to join, so the community never saw them as the same thing.

The existing club

Protect what's working.

  • Its own identity and strengths
  • Members kept, not poached
  • Clear space in the market
Southbank

Something new for the inner city.

  • Distinct product value points
  • Elevated, modern creative
  • Varied content pillars across the whole presale
