BRAND DEVELOPMENT

To establish a strong and recognizable identity, we refined Soccer Kids Miami’s brand aesthetics, aligning them with the program’s core values: fun, teamwork, discipline, and skill development. We developed a cohesive brand kit featuring a badge-style logo with soccer motifs, a vibrant green, black, and beige color palette, and Nunito Sans typography, which balances playfulness with professionalism. These elements reinforced a sense of energy, community, and sportsmanship, making the brand more appealing to parents and young athletes.

ICONOGRAPHY

As part of the Soccer Kids Miami visual identity, we designed a custom icon that fuses industry relevance with emotional resonance. At the core of the icon is a soccer ball, a universally recognized symbol of the sport, making the brand immediately identifiable within the youth athletics space.

Surrounding the soccer ball are subtle, radiating lines—a graphic element inspired by the markings on a soccer field. These lines are deliberately positioned and curved to form the shape of a smile, reinforcing a sense of joy, positivity, and approachability. This detail goes beyond aesthetics: it speaks directly to the program’s mission of providing a fun, nurturing environment for young players.

The icon not only reflects what the brand does, but also how it does it—with care, energy, and an emphasis on emotional connection. It’s a visual that resonates equally with children, who see it as playful and inviting, and with parents, who associate it with a trustworthy, values-driven program.

COLOR PALETTE

The color scheme within the logo aligns with the brand’s overall identity: Green represents growth, energy, and nature, symbolizing both youth development and the sport’s outdoor setting. Black Provides contrast and boldness, ensuring legibility and impact. Beige Adds warmth and balance, making the brand feel inviting to parents and kids.

TYPOGRAPHY

A key component of the Soccer Kids Miami brand identity is the use of Nunito Sans as the primary typeface. Nunito Sans is a modern, rounded sans-serif font that conveys both approachability and professionalism. Its design enhances readability, making it perfect for marketing materials aimed at parents and young athletes.

We incorporated bold, extra-bold, and semi-bold variations of Nunito Sans across different applications:

Website headers & social media graphics use bold typography for clear calls to action. Flyers and promotional materials maintain a balance between fun and readability with semi-bold variations. Custom stickers and reward visuals use high-contrast bold text for immediate engagement. This consistent use of typography ensures brand recognition across different platforms, reinforcing a unified and polished identity.

VISUAL CONTENT STRATEGY

Recognizing the power of compelling visuals, we sent a photographer and videographer, equipped with a drone, to capture high-quality content. This media shoot focused on showcasing Coach Santi’s hands-on coaching approach, the quality of the training equipment, and the program’s structured yet fun atmosphere. The resulting images and videos became a cornerstone of the website, social media strategy, and promotional campaigns. We leveraged this content to create engaging Instagram Reels, highlighting key aspects of the training experience, from skill drills to game-day excitement.

Additionally, we provided a sample content calendar, outlining a structured approach to social media posting, ensuring consistency and engagement. By integrating authentic, high-quality media, we significantly enhanced the brand’s storytelling, building credibility and fostering a deeper connection with the target audience.

PRINT MARKETING MATERIALS

Additionally, we designed custom sticker packs as a reward system for kids, strengthening engagement and motivation. These stickers, featuring positive reinforcement phrases like “Great Job,” “MVP,” and “Good Game,” served as both a branding tool and an incentive mechanism for young players. This small but impactful initiative helped build excitement around the program, enhancing brand interaction at every level.

WEBSITE & DIGITAL PRESENCE

The development of the WordPress website for Soccer Kids Miami was completed with a focus on user-friendly navigation and operational efficiency, ensuring a smooth experience for both parents and the coach. The site serves as a central hub for program information, offering an engaging presentation of class schedules, coach bio, training philosophy, and dynamic photo galleries. Designed with a mobile-first approach, the site ensures accessibility across all devices, particularly for busy parents on the go. Special attention was paid to visual storytelling, with high-quality images and video footage highlighting the energy of each session, the quality of the equipment, and the personalized care provided by Coach Santi.

The result is a professional, approachable website that reflects the structure and warmth of the Soccer Kids Miami program while simplifying the registration and information-gathering process.

PLANNING AND STRATEGY

From the outset, the website’s development was guided by clear goals: simplify registration, support operational workflows, and communicate the value of the program through compelling design and content. The structure of the site was mapped to ensure that parents could quickly understand the program, navigate between class options, and complete sign-ups with minimal friction. A theme was selected for its flexibility, responsiveness, and compatibility with both front-end media and back-end custom features. Key plugins and custom development work were integrated to support form submissions, content updates, and roster management. In alignment with the brand’s goal to grow over time, the site was built to scale—enabling future expansion across new locations, coaches, or specialized programming.

SOCIAL MEDIA/CONTENT STRATEGY

To enhance brand awareness and community engagement, we developed a strategic Instagram content plan centered around high-quality photo and video production. To capture the essence of Soccer Kids Miami, we sent a photographer and videographer (with a drone) onsite to document Coach Santi’s interactions with the kids, the quality of equipment, and the structured learning environment. This content became the foundation for Instagram marketing, showcasing the program’s unique strengths through dynamic visuals.

We leveraged Instagram Reels to highlight key moments, including action-packed training sessions, behind-the-scenes class setups, and engaging player interactions. Instagram Stories provided real-time updates, featuring live Q&As with Coach Santi, interactive polls, and parent engagement opportunities. A structured content calendar ensured a consistent posting schedule, incorporating live session highlights, educational posts about soccer drills, and community spotlights featuring parent testimonials. Using Instagram Insights, we tracked performance, refined content strategies, and optimized post timing to maximize engagement.
