Whoosh: Powering Growth Through PR and Paid Strategy

When Whoosh set out to redefine how clubs and recreational facilities manage their operations, they needed more than awareness—they needed momentum. Golf Space Collective (GSC) partnered with Whoosh in 2023 to build national visibility, establish credibility, and drive qualified traffic through a dual approach that combined long-term public relations with a precision paid media strategy.

Over two years, GSC helped Whoosh evolve from a promising startup into one of the most recognized and trusted technology brands in golf and hospitality.

The Challenge

  • Breaking Through Legacy Systems: Competing against established software providers in the golf and recreation industries.

  • Raising Brand Awareness: Needed to drive visibility and credibility among club leaders and facility operators nationwide.

  • Scaling Growth Efficiently: Required a paid media structure that delivered high-intent leads without inflating acquisition costs.

  • Building Thought Leadership: Elevate CEO Colin Read and position Whoosh as an innovator at the intersection of technology, golf, and entertainment.


The GSC Solution

  • Announced Whoosh’s Series A fundraise with widespread top-tier media attention.

  • Launched integrations and partnerships with Square, Foresight Sports, and other key industry players.

  • Activated event-based PR at major trade shows like the PGA Merchandise Show and GCSAA Conference.

  • Achieved 20+ conversions from search at an average cost-per-conversion around $300.

  • Delivered ultra-efficient reach with Performance Max clicks as low as $0.13 during launch.

  • Maintained CTRs of 5.69%, surpassing industry benchmarks.


Full-Funnel Integration:

  • Supported ongoing product launches and updates with synchronized content and media coverage.
