Went and had a look at that font for you I pulled the video off the post and stepped through the caption frames. It's a heavy slab serif in orange with a red offset shadow — that combination is almost certainly a CapCut-style auto-caption preset rather than a licensed brand typeface, so there's no single "official" name to hand you. But here are the closest free Google Fonts, rendered in the same colours next to the actual frame so you can judge: [Side-by-side comparison](https://albatrossdigitalgolf.slack.com/files/U0BTN3NUZ5E/F0BSE01RSFR/render_1787753267565.png) - **Alfa Slab One** — closest overall match on weight and serif shape - **Bevan** — very close, a touch wider - **Ultra** — heavier and chunkier if you want more punch All three are free and drop straight into Webflow, Canva or Premiere. My pick: Alfa Slab One. Two other things while I was in here: - Your second link is the **Manors Golf** founder post — "we were building the wrong brand and it took nearly going out of business to fix it". Genuinely good on golf brand positioning; I can pull the full text into a note if you want it saved. - This channel has taken ~40 links this month with almost no annotation. I could post a **weekly digest** — each link resolved to source, title, a one-line takeaway and a theme tag (branding / ads / AI / copy) — so "that font post" is still findable in three months. Say the word and I'll set it up.

Why it works

It centres one understandable idea and supports it with enough concrete detail to make the post feel useful rather than generic.

Manors Golf Apparel

When we started MANORS, we were building the wrong brand, and it took us nearly going out of business to fix it. Golf was in a very different place back then. Most golf clothing looked the same, and it was all designed to make you look like a tour pro. So when we started MANORS, it was with a very simple idea: what if golf clothing was actually stylish? At the time, a lot of people thought we were mad. I remember one investor sitting us down and saying, “Look, this is a cool idea, guys, but you’re building it for yourselves.” Then something unexpected happened. Golf exploded. That’s when we scrapped everything and started again. We stopped asking, “How do we make golf clothes cooler?” and started asking, “How do we build the best clothing possible for the golf experiences we actually care about?” That’s the MANORS you see today. A brand built by golfers who believe the best part of golf happens far away from the professional game. And the reason we’ve kept growing isn’t because of us. It’s because thousands of golfers saw the game the same way we did. Turns out there were more of us than we thought.

Why it works

It gives the audience a clear position to react to and makes participation feel natural rather than bolting on a generic engagement question.

Long form resort homepage with a cinematic opening and editorial sections.Open idea

Terre Blanche

Terre Blanche presents the resort as a complete Provençal destination before introducing its five experience worlds: hotel, golf, spa, restaurants and children's activities. The page uses a full screen landscape opening, editorial pacing, large serif headlines, experience led sections, location context, offers and direct booking paths. This is first party website material and not conversion performance evidence.

Why it works

It makes the setting and desired feeling legible before presenting the inventory, then gives different visitor intentions a clear route into the resort.

Black Desert Resort

Black Desert Resort's golf page combines a strong place led opening with immediate booking, rates, current course conditions and a detailed explanation of what is included. It then expands into packages, course design, practice facilities, golfer recovery, professional events and FAQs. This is first party website material and not conversion performance evidence.

Why it works

It creates desire without hiding the operational details a serious visitor needs to decide, reducing uncertainty before the booking action.

Raj Narayan

Are we witnessing the end of LIV Golf? It’s one of the big conversations happening in golf at the moment, and Ben Doney and I got to discussing this hot topic recently. Ben believes we could be seeing the beginning of the end for LIV. But what I found more interesting was his take on what LIV has actually done for the game. It’s changed prize money, challenged the traditional model and brought a different audience to golf. Whether you like LIV or not, it’s hard to argue that it hasn’t changed the sport. But that raises an even bigger question: if LIV does come to an end, what happens to the PGA Tour? Watch the video and let me know what you think. Do you agree? Repost if you agree.

Pin Vision

Same hole. Two very different stories. At Gardagolf Country Club, White Course, Hole 7, the green you actually play looks nothing like what some apps still show you. Why? Because most golf apps freeze the course the day they mapped it. Pin Vision doesn't. We work directly with our partner clubs, so when a green changes, the map changes with it. No outdated shapes. No guessing where the pin actually is. Less guessing. More golfing. Download Pin Vision. #precision #playsmarter #golftech #pinvision #golfapp

Manors Golf Apparel

Haevichi, Jeju, was a most suitable backdrop for one of the great office grudge matches. One of Korea’s most scenic courses, set along the volcanic coastline of Jeju Island. Lava rock, coastal wind, and proper shot-making from start to finish. Looks unreal and plays even harder, especially when it comes to this heated rivalry. Tag your favourite playing partner and follow Manors for more.

Why it works

The 61-second film turns two colleagues and a scenic course into an office grudge-match story, giving the audience a rivalry to follow rather than another polished apparel montage. Five short lines move from place, to playing conditions, to interpersonal tension, then finish with a low-friction tagging prompt; that combination earned 38 visible reactions.

Minnie Roe

Back with another behind the scenes look into my role at Manors Golf Apparel - and this one took us all the way to Tennessee 🤠 Months in the making and so worth it… bringing our MANORS x Gentleman Jack collab to life with our amazing ambassadors. Had the best time finally meeting so many of them in person 🫶 Also my first proper MANORS event (!!) which made it even more special. Huge thanks to Jojo Regan, Loni Gray, Greg Luehrs and the entire Jack Daniel’s & Manors Golf Apparel team for trusting me and bringing this amazing event to life together 🏌♀️

Why it works

Minnie makes a corporate partnership feel like a personal milestone by framing the film as her first proper MANORS event, not as a launch recap. Specific moments such as meeting ambassadors, taking Polaroids and moving between Tennessee venues create a genuine working diary, while named collaborators distribute attention across both communities. The personal point of view earned 92 visible reactions and four comments.

Why it works

A founder-style monthly update leads with one milestone, 10,000 downloads in eight weeks, then stacks percentage growth across the funnel to show momentum rather than merely claim it. The honest acknowledgement of work left to do keeps the investment CTA credible and connects product progress to a time-sensitive funding opportunity.

BORING EMAILS are the reason your business is failing ⬇️ Most brands struggle with growth because they are trying too hard to sell their product instead of building a community and providing any value beyond the sale… Our strategies made $30M+ in the past 12 months — with 40-60% of our clients store revenue coming from email because we systemise a strategy that guarantees results. Ready to grow? Book a call below by typing “GROWTH” and let’s turn your email list into a revenue machine. #emailmarketing #emaildesign #emailmanagement #emailmarketingstrategy #branddesign #businessgrowth

Why it works

The contrarian cover, ‘Email Marketing IS DEAD’, creates an open loop that the caption resolves by blaming boring, sales-only emails rather than the channel itself. A cinematic tropical setting clashes with the business topic, producing a strong pattern break, while the $30M result and 40 to 60 per cent revenue claim provide authority and helped earn 1,829 likes and 168 comments.

Video & Creative Agency Owners doing $10K+/mo — read this if your revenue chart looks like a heart monitor $30K one month. $12K the next. $40K. $8K. You finish a big project, deposit the check, feel like a CEO for 48 hours… Then Monday hits and you're back to zero. Refreshing your inbox. Replying to referral intros. Sending proposals to leads who ghost. Discounting to close. Wondering why a "successful" agency feels like freelancing with extra steps. Here's the truth nobody running ads at you wants to say out loud: You don't have a scaling problem. You have a system problem. You're skilled. Your work is good. Your clients love you. That's not the issue. The issue is your business is built on: → Referrals you can't predict → Projects that end the moment you deliver → Pricing anchored to "what the market pays" instead of outcomes → A pipeline that resets to $0 every 30 days → You — the owner — stuck in fulfillment instead of running the company That's why you're plateaued. That's why $50K months feel like a ceiling instead of a floor. That's why you're working harder than you did at $5K/mo and somehow taking home less. Here's what actually changes the game: retainers. Not bigger projects. Not more referrals. Not another funnel hack. Monthly retainers. $5K–$15K+ per client. Recurring. Predictable. Stacking on top of each other every month instead of resetting to zero. That's the entire difference between a freelancer with a logo and a real agency. We install the Inbound Retainer System™ — the exact acquisition, sales, and delivery infrastructure used by the top video & creative agencies in the space. Here's what we build with you: → Offer — Repackage your services into retainer models clients actually want to pay monthly for → Acquisition — Paid ads + inbound funnels + authority positioning so leads come to you (not the other way around) → Sales — Call frameworks, qualification systems, financing integration, and close optimization so you stop losing deals to "I need to think about it" → Scale — A-player hiring, delivery SOPs, and automation so the business runs without you in every Zoom call Done-with-you. Not a course. Not a community. Not "watch these 47 modules and figure it out." We build the system with you, in your business, for your offer. Two reasons this isn't another agency coach pitch: #1 — We run this in our own company. This isn't theory we repackaged from a podcast. We use every system we install. Same ads. Same funnels. Same sales process. You're not buying frameworks — you're buying the operating system we run ourselves. #2 — 828+ video & creative agency owners have already installed it. More documented case studies than every "scale your agency" guru running ads against this one. We'll show them to you on the call. Names, numbers, screenshots. No vague testimonials. Who this is for: → Video or creative agency owners doing $10K+/mo → Skilled operators who can deliver, but are stuck in project-based revenue → Owners who want to scale to $50K–$100K/mo without burning out or hiring 12 people Who this is NOT for: → Beginners looking for their first client → Anyone wanting a "course" or passive education → Tire-kickers who think a $497 product will fix a 6-figure business If you're in the first group, watch the 7-minute breakdown and book a demo. If we're not a fit, we'll tell you on the call. No pressure tactics. No fake scarcity. Results may vary and are not guaranteed.".

Why it works

A long-form direct-response caption for agency owners opening on a visceral metaphor ('read this if your revenue chart looks like a heart monitor: $30K one month, $12K the next'). It agitates the feast-or-famine pain, reframes it ('you don't have a scaling problem, you have a system problem'), then sells retainers with named proof (828+ case studies). 444 likes, 6 comments.

Why it works

An agency (ION 54) announces a golf client's rebrand and app launch with a single striking hero image (two caddies on the green, 'Empowering those who carry the game') and outcome-framed copy about the client's mission, not the agency's deliverables. Credit-the-client positioning that still showcases the agency's work.
