Sanctum 1791

The Client

Sanctum 1791 is an exclusive guntry club in North Carolina, established to provide an unparalleled sport shooting experience. Sanctum 1791 combines a state-of-the-art shooting facility with a warm, welcoming environment. Sanctum 1791 offers members access to world-class ranges, professional training, and premium social amenities, ensuring an exceptional experience for novices and seasoned shooters.

The Challenge

Sanctum 1791 came to us in November 2023 with an ambitious vision but only the beginnings of a concept. They needed full branding and identity development, a strategic digital presence, and a marketing campaign to build anticipation and encourage pre-registration for membership before the facility’s completion. This required a multifaceted approach, from crafting brand visuals and establishing a tone that resonated with their target audience, to launching a robust digital marketing campaign that built community and drove engagement. The year-long project also needed to position Sanctum as accessible and welcoming while maintaining an elite feel of a high-end guntry club.

The Results

Through a collaborative effort over the past year, we successfully launched Sanctum 1791 with a comprehensive branding and marketing strategy to establish them as a leading guntry club in North Carolina. The project included a cohesive brand identity, a full suite of collateral, a dynamic website, and an integrated digital marketing campaign that reached a broad audience and built a loyal following across all channels, even before the club’s official grand opening. Our cohesive blend of branding and strategic tactics firmly positions Sanctum 1791 as a top-tier destination for sport shooting enthusiasts.
