The gap
Clubs were being sold generic marketing by agencies that had never walked a course. We started Expand Media to do the opposite.
About Expand Media Est. Reading, Berkshire Golf clubs only GCMA & CMAE partnered
We're not a generalist agency that happens to work with golf clubs. That difference shows in every piece of content we produce, and in every enquiry it puts through your door.
01. The gap we saw
The culture runs deep, the community is everything, and the membership decision is almost always emotional rather than rational. Generic marketing agencies don't understand that. We do.
Expand Media was founded to give golf clubs access to specialist marketing expertise that actually moves the needle. Not templated posts. Not outsourced photography. Real, on-the-ground content created by people who love the game and understand what makes a club worth joining.
Today we work with clubs across the UK, from family-run courses to established private members clubs, helping each one tell its story in a way that drives genuine membership enquiries.
Not an account manager relaying briefs to a production team you never meet. The people who plan it are the people who film it.
How we got here
Clubs were being sold generic marketing by agencies that had never walked a course. We started Expand Media to do the opposite.
Hennerton and Calcot Park backed us early. Both are still with us, which we take as the most useful review we have.
Became a GCMA Business Partner and a CMAE Corporate Partner, vetted by the two bodies club managers actually listen to.
Off-the-shelf CRMs weren't built for the way clubs sell membership, so we built one that was.
From family-run courses to established private members clubs, right across the UK. Still golf, still nothing else.
03. What we stand for
We work exclusively with golf clubs. Not hotels, not restaurants, not sports clubs. Golf. That focus means every insight, every tactic, and every piece of content we produce is informed by a deep understanding of the game and the people who play it.
The algorithm rewards real. We don't manufacture moments. We capture them. Every video, every reel, every photograph we produce is rooted in the genuine life of your club. That authenticity is what converts a viewer into a membership enquiry.
Follower counts are nice. Membership enquiries are better. We build every strategy around one goal: filling your membership pipeline. We track what matters, report on what's working, and refine until your social presence is pulling its weight.
From our co-founder
Golf clubs don't need more content. They need better content. The kind that makes a local golfer stop mid-scroll, watch it twice, and start wondering why they're not already a member. That's the only standard we work to.
Work with us
We'd love to hear about your club: its history, its goals, and what you want your social media to say about you. The first conversation is always on us.
