Client Overview
Newton Abbot Rugby Club is one of the oldest rugby clubs in Devon. Established in 1873, the ethos of the club is firmly rooted in community and team camaraderie with an emphasis on creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where anyone can come along and participate regardless of playing ability or experience.
Priority Pixels collaborated with the club to modernise its brand and digital presence, starting with the development of a vibrant new brand identity that reflected its values and sense of community. We extended this branding across a range of marketing materials, including flyers, posters, and banners, to boost visibility locally. A complete rebuild of the club’s website on WordPress followed, featuring streamlined navigation, event booking, an online shop, and match schedule sections for an improved user experience. Finally, we revitalised the club’s social media strategy, creating engaging content that increased online engagement and connected with a wider audience.

Branding & Graphic Design
To modernise its presence, Priority Pixels first collaborated with Newton Abbot Rugby Club to develop a vibrant new brand identity that truly captured the club’s heritage and community spirit while positioning it for future growth. The rebranding process was meticulous and strategic, beginning with an in-depth understanding of the club’s core values, aspirations and the essence of camaraderie that defines its community-focused ethos. By combining these insights with innovative design concepts, we crafted a cohesive and dynamic visual identity that resonates with members, supporters and the wider community.
The new brand identity is versatile and impactful, featuring a refreshed colour palette, typography and design elements that seamlessly translate across a variety of mediums. This cohesive branding is now evident across all digital and print platforms, from the club’s website and social media profiles to tangible marketing materials used within the local area. We created an extensive set of brand guidelines to ensure consistency in all visual communications, providing clear instructions on how to apply the brand elements effectively in various contexts.
Priority Pixels then extended the new brand identity to a range of promotional materials, including flyers, posters, banners and pop-up displays, all designed to advertise the club and its activities in the local community. These materials not only feature striking visuals that grab attention but also communicate key information in an engaging and approachable manner. Flyers and posters were crafted to announce upcoming matches, community events and club news, while banners and pop-up displays were created to enhance the club’s presence at events and on match days, reinforcing the brand wherever the club is represented.
The cohesive branding and high-quality promotional materials have made a lasting impact, elevating the club’s visibility in the community and ensuring that all communications reflect the club’s modern yet rooted-in-tradition image. This comprehensive rebranding laid the foundation for further digital advancements, ensuring that Newton Abbot Rugby Club’s presence is not only memorable but also reflective of its welcoming and inclusive ethos.
Social Media Management
With a solid brand identity in place, Priority Pixels turned its attention to enhancing Newton Abbot Rugby Club’s social media presence, ensuring the club’s revitalised image effectively reached and engaged a broader audience. We worked in close collaboration with the club’s team to craft a strategic, dynamic approach to social media that aligned with the club’s values and engaged its diverse community. Our focus was on creating a consistent stream of engaging content, from celebratory match day highlights and player features to community event announcements and interactive posts, all designed to spark conversation and foster a sense of belonging.
The visual content played a crucial role in this strategy. We developed striking visuals that adhered to the newly established brand guidelines, ensuring a cohesive and professional appearance across all platforms. This included high-quality graphics, short and engaging videos and attention-grabbing animations that stood out in crowded news feeds. As a result, the club’s social media channels experienced a significant increase in follower growth, engagement rates, and overall visibility. The renewed online presence helped bridge the gap between the club and its supporters, connecting with both long-standing members and new audiences.
Web Design & Development
Following the rebranding, we embarked on a comprehensive rebuild of Newton Abbot Rugby Club’s website, transforming it into a dynamic and user-centric digital platform. Built on the robust and user-friendly WordPress system, the new site boasts a streamlined, intuitive interface that places the user experience at the forefront. Key design principles focused on simplicity and easy navigation ensure that visitors can effortlessly find what they are looking for, whether they are long-time club members or first-time guests.
The website is equipped with advanced functionality that greatly improves the club’s operational efficiency. An integrated event booking system allows for seamless organisation and management of club events, making it simple for members and the community to participate in club activities. Additionally, the online shop is designed to showcase and sell club merchandise efficiently, providing a smooth, secure shopping experience for supporters. This e-commerce feature is geared towards increasing the club’s revenue and improving accessibility to club-branded items.
Moreover, a dedicated section for match schedules and results ensures that fans are always up to date with the latest fixtures and outcomes. This section is designed to be easily updated, ensuring that information is current and engaging. By providing quick access to this essential information, the website keeps supporters well-informed and connected to the club’s activities.
Overall, the new website serves as a comprehensive digital hub, enriching the overall experience for fans, members, and visitors. It not only reflects the club’s rich heritage and community values but also positions Newton Abbot Rugby Club as a modern, forward-thinking organisation, ready to engage with a wider audience in the digital age.
