SO YOU HAVE A GREAT PHOTO OR VIDEO—NOW WHAT?

Even the most dynamic teams struggle to create enough high-quality content to keep fans engaged. While organic and user-generated content has its place, nothing matches professional production when you need to showcase your team’s true excellence. 

At Go Forth Marketing, we know great content is just the start. Success comes from strategic distribution – knowing exactly how to optimize each piece across social platforms to maximize impact. We’ve created a quick guide below to help you navigate these waters.

Ready to take your content strategy to the next level? Our team of experts is here to craft and execute a winning game plan.

Post your videos as Reels on Facebook to dramatically expand your reach beyond standard posts.

Better yet, link your Facebook and Instagram accounts to share Reels simultaneously on both platforms, doubling your impact with a single upload.

Maximize video views by posting natively to X rather than sharing links. Keep clips under 2 minutes and lead with action. You have just seconds to grab attention in the feed.

Optimize your YouTube videos for search by crafting detailed titles, descriptions, and tags that match what fans are actually looking for.

Vertical format (2:3 ratio) performs best, and descriptive titles are crucial since users often save content to revisit later.

Keep videos under 3 minutes, add closed captions, and post during business hours when your professional audience is most engaged.

AWESOME SAMPLES, AND CATEGORIES TO CONSIDER.

GAME-DAY EXPERIENCE VIDEOS
The best way to generate buzz about your team! These help with attendance, season ticket sales, engagement, brand awareness, and can provide enormous value to any sponsor appearing in the video
The CCFC Home Game Experience

The very first home game for CCFC would set the tone for what fans can expect when they buy a ticket. You’d never know it was a 4-1 loss as the video captures all the intensity, excitement, and joy that fans brought to the stadium. 
The client posted this to all of their social media channels and it ran on Apple TV during televised matches.

CCFC Inaugural Game Experience

The inaugural game for CCFC featured a massive effort by the club to introduce an amazing fan experience, even at an away game. We captured the sights, sounds, and feelings of an ultimately triumphant and exciting effort and brought CCFC to the world for the first time.

PROFILE VIDEOS

Want to connect with your fans to drive engagement? A short documentary profile video provides an emotional connection between players/coaches/staff and the public. And if they’re recognizable names, they can help drum up excitement for the club!

Donovan Ricketts:
Goalkeeper Coach Profile
Not every interview subject seeks the spotlight. But we can still tell their story! Some creative solutions led to us piecing this profile together through the testimony of the coach’s players, painting a well rounded portrait of the man and his coaching style.
GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEOS

Whether it’s new player signings, jersey reveals, or fresh sponsor additions, Announce- ment videos come in many shapes and sizes. What style matches your organization?

CCFC Founding Partner/Sponsor Announcement

This piece is a scripted, comedic video that was created to announce Go-Forth Home Services as a founding partner of CCFC. We utilized real players in funny scenarios to help connect fans to the players they root for in a different and fun way, while also promoting both businesses. The cost of this video was split between the sponsor and the Club, because the sponsor received such high branding value with the creative concept.

CCFC “Why” Video
One of the largest scale ‘why’ videos that we’ve produced, this story needed to connect the community to the mission and intention behind the efforts to bring professional soccer to the Core of North Carolina. Featuring nine interviews and majestic b-roll from around the region, this documentary-style video helped lay the foundation for the strong relationship between CCFC and its fanbase.
HYPE VIDEOS
Get them pumped up! Want to sell some merch or tickets? This is the way to do it. Sometimes featuring voice-over, interviews, or graphics to help the story along, hype videos tap into a more instinctive part of the audience’s brain. They need to FEEL it.
CCFC Pre-Season Hype Video

Using an exciting script, recognizable locals, and beautiful cinematography, we got the community amped up to see a new professional soccer team come to their back yard. The challenge for this project: the team was brand new. We had no footage to work with, no logo or colors, and no players.

COMMERCIALS
Have a specific goal in mind for your team? A 15 or 30 second commercial can grab attention and deliver a call-to-action that gets people moving. Whether for television/ streaming purposes or social media, a short commercial can address granular needs.
CCFC Home Experience Commercial (30 seconds)

This video is a perfect example of providing additional value from a single project. This 30 second commercial piece was edited
from the longer Match Day Experience video that we had already created. One production, several videos, multiple uses. The client ran this on television during Copa America and European Championships to help drive ticket sales.

CCFC Inaugural Game Commercial (30 seconds)
An identical production situation as the above example, except this one was cut from the longer Inaugural Game video. There was also a different call-to-action on the end card; the purpose of this one was to advertise the upcoming first home match. This commercial was also run on television during sporting events.
DAY IN THE LIFE VIDEOS
Usually longer in form, Day in the Life videos tap into a popular format that spans social media video platforms. Day in the Life videos not only gives fans an inside look into players/coaches lives, but it also creates an emotional connection between them.
Day in the Life of a Soccer Player

While shooting our feature documentary Through the Lines, we snuck in questions and a shoot day that would serve both the documentary and a stand alone video featuring the home life, leadup, and game action for a typical game day in this player’s life. This garners deeper connection for fans with that player while also promoting the jersey sponsor.

PHOTOGRAPHY THAT ENGAGES

Compelling images are the heartbeat of sports marketing. Our team captures it all—the roar of the crowd, the intensity of competition, and those split-second moments that define the game. These powerful visuals don’t just fill your content library—they fuel social media engagement, elevate your website, and transform advertising into must-see moments.

GRAPHIC DESIGN SUPPORT
Beautiful, well designed, graphic materials are another essential component of a brand. That is particulalry true for Sports Marketing. Whether for Social Media posts, video titles and graphics, or logos for team merch’, quality professional design shows a commitment to the team that elevates the value and enthusiasm for players and fans.
