Club
Cranfield United
Cranfield United FC is a long-established community football club based in Bedfordshire, competing in the non-league system with a strong emphasis on local identity, volunteer support, and accessibility. The objective of this engagement was to bring structure and clarity to the club’s digital presence, align its content with its community role, and manage social media in a way that feels honest, grounded, and representative of the people who make the club what it is.
We focused on defining how Cranfield United should communicate as a community-first football club. The strategy prioritised local supporters, players, and families, with messaging that felt inclusive and rooted in matchday reality rather than polished promotion.
