About

Built from inside the sports industry.

Hi, I'm Lewis, the founder of MiddsDigital. I've spent over a decade working inside sport, across professional and semi-professional clubs, private sports businesses and leading agencies.

Most agencies treat sport like any other industry, and it shows in the work. We don't. Sport moves fast, fixtures change and what worked last month can be irrelevant this month. You shouldn't have to explain any of that to your marketing team, every time, from scratch.

I've seen first-hand the challenges founders and coaches face trying to grow their sports businesses while running everything else. Most sports businesses are doing excellent work, but very little of it is visible to the people who matter most.

MiddsDigital exists to fix that. Sport is our niche. Marketing is what we do.

Our Approach

It starts with what makes you different.

No two sports businesses are the same. Your marketing shouldn't be either.

Before we think about websites, videos or social media, we get to understand your sports business properly. What you do best. Who you're trying to attract. Where you sit in the market. And, most importantly, why someone should choose you over another sports business.

From there, we build the strategy around what actually makes you worth choosing.

01

Find Your Difference

What makes your sports business worth choosing?

We identify your strongest selling points, your strengths as a sports business and the things your competitors can't easily replicate. That gives us something meaningful to build your marketing around.

02

Define Your Position

Who are you for and where do you fit?

We look at your programmes, people, local market and competition to establish how your sports business should position itself. Not every sports business needs to appeal to everyone.

03

Build The Strategy

What should your sports business be saying?

We decide what your sports business should talk about, what needs promoting, which stories are worth telling and how each part of your marketing should work together. Content, campaigns and your website all start serving the same strategy.

04

Show It Consistently

How do we make the difference obvious?

We turn the strategy into marketing people actually see. The right content. The right message. The right creative. Consistently. So when someone discovers your sports business, they quickly understand what you offer and why they should take the next step.
