🧠 About Carrick Rangers: A Football Club with a Global Vision

Carrick Rangers, one of Northern Ireland’s most respected football clubs, had a vision far bigger than their local roots. They wanted to bring global ownership and investment into football—giving fans and supporters the chance to invest in the future of the club.

They weren’t just looking to fund the next season. They were looking to build something bigger:

A global football community powered by capital, storytelling, and belief.

To do that, they partnered with Space Funding—and the results were game-changing.

🚨 The Challenge: Build the Story, Build the Audience

Carrick had the team, the tradition, and a loyal fan base. But they needed to:

• 🎯 Define a compelling, investment-ready narrative
• 📊 Set up infrastructure to collect and nurture investor interest
• 🌍 Expand beyond their region and attract a global audience
• 🔁 Turn fan passion into financial support—not just one-time donations

Like many forward-thinking sports brands, they didn’t want to rely on outdated fundraising tactics or be buried on marketplaces.

So we did what we do best—built them a story-powered, data-driven funnel.

🧩 Step 1: Crafting a Compelling Investment Story

Our first priority was helping Carrick find and tell their story.

This wasn’t just a football pitch. It was an invitation for fans around the world to:

"Own a piece of football history. Invest in the future of Carrick Rangers."

We combined:

• 🎬 A compelling video-led pitch
• 📱 A mobile-first, branded investor funnel
• 📩 Email automation sequences for education and retargeting
• 📊 Full tracking across every click, bounce, and behavior

We didn’t just build a page—we built a system for belief and conversion.

🚀 Step 2: Activate the Fanbase + Attract the Right Investors

With the funnel live, the campaign went international.

We helped Carrick Rangers:

• 📣 Reach new fans via organic and paid traffic
• 🧲 Capture leads from retail AND accredited investors
• 🔁 Retarget warm leads with personalized follow-ups
• 🔥 Use momentum to spark interest from large investors and sponsors

And it worked—fast.

🧠 Why It Worked

Carrick’s campaign was successful because it checked every modern capital-raising box:

✅ Clear Narrative

People didn’t just see a club—they saw an opportunity to own a piece of it.

✅ Full Funnel Control

Every lead, every investor, every click—tracked and stored in their system, not someone else’s.

✅ Smart Infrastructure

No one-time launch. We gave Carrick long-term tools to follow up, re-raise, and scale.
