Positioning
The hero frame: “Follow the Orange Rabbit”
Eyebrow: Follow the Orange Rabbit
H1: Where Vegas connects.
Subhead: The Orange Rabbit network is where crypto, tech, AI, ARG, and culture converge in Las Vegas — and on screens everywhere. Real-world events. Real connections. Real rewards. Spot the rabbit. Scan. Earn. Belong.
Two CTAs:
- Primary: Enter the Portal
- Secondary: Find the next event
Why this beats the alternatives
We considered three positioning angles before settling on this one:
| Angle | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| ”Follow the Orange Rabbit” (chosen — lore-forward) | Plays on the QR-scan loyalty mechanic Mike already runs at events. Curiosity-led. Story-forward. Distinctive. Matches the brand book’s “Curious / Playful” personality pillars and Mike’s own “spot and scan the Orange Rabbit” framing. | Requires the audience to spend 5 seconds wondering what the rabbit means. Acceptable cost. |
| ”Connecting people through real-world events” (brand book mission) | Uses the verbatim mission. Safe. | Corporate. Forgettable. Mike’s existing audience would not recognize it as his. |
| ”Vegas crypto’s operator network” (B2B/sponsor-first) | Optimizes for the sponsor pitch. | Closes the door on the new-member journey. Doesn’t match the brand’s warmth. |
Message hierarchy
In order of prominence on the home page:
- Hero — lore-forward eyebrow + display H1 + warm subhead + 2 CTAs.
- Stats strip — credibility (2,400+ members · 350+ per event · 7 years · 88% engagement).
- The Network — the four subspace cards. Vegas Crypto Group as the flagship (7-col), Sporeyverse as the dark inverse signature (5-col), Passport + Paradise paired (6-col each).
- Adjacent ventures — smaller, intentionally subordinate.
- Inside the Portal — features grid (XP, badges, events, Writers Room, drops, voice memos).
- Sponsor wall — backing the network.
- Founder — Mike’s bio + quote + credentials + socials.
- Events — three next events with day/time/place.
- CTA block — “Spot the rabbit. Scan. Belong.” with Join + Apply CTAs.
- Footer — handles, dark, “Powered by Clikkin.”
This sequence optimizes for three primary visitors simultaneously:
- IRL attendee scanning a QR at an event → Hero + Events + CTA do the work.
- Prospective sponsor doing diligence → Stats + Network + Sponsor wall + Founder do the work.
- Press writing about Mike → Founder + Network + Sporeyverse do the work.
Copy patterns
Across the site
- Eyebrows are uppercase, tracking 0.14–0.18em, in Tiger Flame. They label the section (“FOLLOW THE ORANGE RABBIT”, “THE NETWORK”, “INSIDE THE PORTAL”).
- Display headlines are Bangel Regular, 900 weight, tight tracking (-0.025em), short (4–7 words).
- Subheads are Helvetica Neue Light at 300, never bolder than the H1.
- CTAs use verbs of arrival: “Enter the Portal”, “Request a Passport”, “Find the next event”, “Step into the Sporeyverse”.
What to avoid
- Verbs of demand: “Get”, “Buy”, “Sign up” (these read transactional; “Enter” and “Apply” read welcoming).
- Adjectives of premium: “exclusive”, “elite”, “premium” (the brand IS premium; saying so flattens it).
- Phrases of promise: “transform your”, “unlock”, “revolutionize” (corporate filler).
Visual positioning
- Light surfaces by default. Faithful to the brand book — Tiger Flame on warm paper white (#FFFBF7).
- One dark inverse moment — the Sporeyverse subspace card. The only dark surface on the homepage. Intentional.
- One full-bleed Tiger Flame moment — the hero. Faithful to the brand book’s most distinctive frame.
- One Tiger Flame CTA block at the end — bookends the page, mirrors the hero, drives the conversion.
- Photography: real photos from past events only. No stock. Until we have those, photo slots stay as illustrated tile patterns.
