THE MISSION

The Greater Columbus Sports Commission (GCSC) is the only organization solely dedicated to bringing sports events to Central Ohio. With a mission to bid on, win, and promote sports events while delivering exceptional experiences for participants and fans, GCSC sought a partner to enhance their marketing and digital presence. Enter Space Age—a team of creative, results-driven professionals who collaborated with GCSC over 18 months to achieve lasting impact.

THE SPACE AGE DIFFERENCE

Space Age partnered closely with GCSC, meeting weekly to stay aligned on goals and progress. Together, we tackled several impactful projects, including:

  • Fan Experience Hub: Designed a landing page for sports fans visiting Columbus, supported by a strategic Google Ads campaign.
  • Event Planner Guide: Created a multi-level infographic, curated images, and wrote engaging content to help GCSC win more bids.
  • Girls & Women Win in Columbus Redesign: Reimagined the web page to highlight Columbus as a leader in supporting women and girls in sports.
  • Advertising Campaigns: Developed assets and strategies targeting fans of Columbus Crew, Ohio State Football, and the Columbus Blue Jackets.
  • Website Enhancements: Provided recommendations and designs for several web pages, ensuring user-friendly experiences and impactful visuals.

The Results

The partnership produced measurable and lasting results:

  • Boosted engagement to key pages in the past year, driving 4200+ visitors organically and assisting with the ad campaigns that brought 3000+ visitors to the Fan Experience Hub, Event Planner Guide, Team License Plate pages, and others.
  • Enhanced brand perception as a premier sports destination, supported by visually appealing and effective resources.
  • Delivered enduring tools like the Event Planner Guide and Fan Experience Hub, which continue to drive GCSC’s mission.

Over the past 18 months, the Space Age team—Ashlee, Tom, and Zach—have been invaluable partners in helping the Greater Columbus Sports Commission elevate our mission to bring world-class sports events to central Ohio. From creating innovative tools like the Event Planner Guide and Fan Experience Hub to their redesign of the Girls & Women Win in Columbus landing page, their creativity and attention to detail have helped us tell Columbus’ story in a compelling way. Their results-driven approach and seamless collaboration have made a tangible impact, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their marketing efforts. They truly felt like an extension of our own team and did an amazing job of bringing our ideas to life at a higher level than we even imagined."
