The Conduit

How we sent 1,123 sales prospects to try this unique members club

The Conduit is a unique, purpose-driven members club concept with hubs in both Oslo and London. They came to Growth Division for a creative, multi-channel approach to bringing new members to both of their sites. We sent 1,123 sales prospects to The Conduit.

The Challenge

The Conduit had big expansion plans but mixed messaging, and difficulty establishing consistent membership growth.

Between the 150+ annual events, the private office spaces, the coworking floor, the restaurant, the Solutions Lab and the many other great services and social initiatives under The Conduit’s umbrella, the core membership was certainly unique – but it also felt confusing, and it was getting lost. 

THE GROWTH STRATEGY

We found early success with CRM, with paid channels coming into their own when our targets shifted towards awareness later on.

We spent a month building a really solid foundation for The Conduit’s marketing before working on testing and scaling individual channels. We made their messaging and website clearer, fixed their customer journey and CRM tracking, and then launched a mix of paid and organic channels.

THE CHANNEL MIX

Email marketing was key to growing memberships for The Conduit, and we had some early success in re-engaging thousands of the existing community database. Meanwhile, organic traffic and sign-ups were growing steadily but meaningfully. 

Later in our engagement, The Conduit asked us to pivot towards awareness ahead of the launch of other hubs. At this point, paid ads came into their own. Direct outreach remained a strong channel throughout. 

THE IMPACT

We delivered 4,000 sales prospects to The Conduit, with over 1,000 going on to attend an open day.

Over 1,000 new changemakers attended The Conduit’s open days during our time working together. We built a really solid foundation for The Conduit to take their marketing in-house going forward, validating a strong mix of paid and organic channels to keep membership momentum on the up.

The work we did together helped shape The Conduit’s direction, planning and forecasting for future hubs, and generally built confidence. We loved working alongside The Conduit team, and we’ve also enjoyed renting their spaces for our own events multiple times since then (the food really is 10/10!).

The team that made it happen

The Conduit required a flexible, creative, multi-channel approach from a team of membership business experts

Working with Growth Division meant The Conduit could quickly flex and adjust the channel mix as their own goals and in-house capacity shifted. Here’s the team that made it all happen, headed up by Growth Strategist and Growth Division partner, Clare Gittins.
