Our Story & Vision
At the heart of every community are its local sports clubs and venues. They are invaluable social assets—places where futures are shaped, connections are made, and generations come together. Yet, keeping them running is harder than ever. Rectangle exists to secure their future by connecting them to sustainable, community-positive revenue.
Rectangle was founded to solve this challenge. We saw a way to bring professional media intelligence to grassroots sport, creating a sustainable revenue stream for clubs and a smarter, more impactful way for businesses to connect with their local community.
The Core Mission: Venue Owned, Community-Driven
When Phil and Christie set out to build the Rectangle Network, the vision was clear: build a media network owned by the clubs and venues that benefit directly from its success. This collaborative model ensures mutual growth, with investment flowing back into the community. This is a new layer in the media landscape.
Reshaping Sponsorship: A New OOH Category
We are transforming sponsorship into measurable, national media inventory. Leveraging deep expertise in Out-of-Home (OOH) media, Rectangle is bringing transparency, measurability, and brand safety to the side-lines. The Rectangle platform is about being connected, transparent, measurable, brand-safe, and community-positive.
- For Clubs: Ditch the admin and clunky spreadsheets. Unlock sustainable sponsorship revenue by easily showcasing and managing all available inventory—from fence banners and team kits to digital screens—on a single, powerful platform.
- For Businesses: Access a high-trust, targeted audience through the clubs they love. Rectangle makes it simple for local businesses and national brands to show up where it matters most, with real metrics to prove the value of their spend.
Rectangle is a simpler, smarter way to connect, helping clubs and venues elevate their offering and giving businesses and brands meaningful exposure that supports the community.
Our Momentum
We are not just an idea. Rectangle is currently in pilot, successfully generating significant revenue for our pilot partner clubs. Our initial success proves the model: we are reshaping how grassroots clubs and sporting venues generate recurring, hassle-free revenue.
We are building our stock base, ensuring that as we scale, Rectangle can help brands activate at scale across high-trust environments, connecting with targeted audiences through their favourite clubs.
We are a values-driven project built on respect for every volunteer, coach, committee member, administrator, and club manager. We see you, we back you, and we’re building Rectangle to make your roles easier.
