Overview

AllstarScouts provides the resources, guidance, and exposure necessary for athletes to play at the next level. Their team wanted to build a membership platform to support athletes during their collegiate sports recruiting process, providing educational information, training, sports communities, and promotional tools accessible to members.

The AllstarScouts team worked with Outpost to launch a bold brand and website that compellingly communicates with athletes, scouts, and coaches alike. Targeting top-tier high school athletes, the brand needed to be aspirational yet attainable. It needed to stand out from its established brand competitors, but also needed to be something members would be proud to promote, similar to a sports accolade.

An identity that shines

To appeal to a young athletic audience, we designed a brand that’s bold and bright. Their logo is a combination mark comprised of our wordmark and logomark, the capital letter "A" created with a star in the negative space. The star is a distinguishable mark that denotes excellence, victory, and stardom—all qualities of their target audience.

Optimized for conversions and streamlined onboarding

Taking a design-first approach, we created a digital product that’s rich in functionality, intuitive to use, and puts the athlete at the center of the collegiate recruiting process. We brought the new brand to life through a marketing website that’s optimized for conversion and streamlines the onboarding experience. Our strategy for the website homepage centered around driving interest in memberships by previewing top-level benefits.

Personalized promotion and content curation

The core functions of the member site are eCommerce, educational courses, social networking, and a search/recommendation engine. We designed an experience that surfaces relevant content in a convenient and intuitive way. Every user’s home screen is an AI-powered feed of curated content—from sport specific content to suggested groups and coaches’ profiles—that’s customized to the specific user based on their sport, saved searches, and membership type.
