WREXHAM AFC have brought an 'unparalleled' volume of attention to the National League during their record-breaking campaign. 

The Reds, who were crowned league winners on Saturday at the Racecourse have been in superb form on and off the pitch this season. 

While the performances on the pitch have been incredible, the marketing and growth of their digital audience has been equally impressive. 

Since the takeover of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, Wrexham has gained a global audience, through clever marketing from the Hollywood pair. 

The documentary Welcome to Wrexham set the platform, then with added celebrities, funny adverts, and expert brand exposure, the club has exploded in the past year.
