Overview
As an owning partner of Uniquely Geek, my role is the creative and marketing director for day-to-day operations. I currently lead the company’s internal and external brand, content, creative, strategy, and e-commerce activity. Established in 2015 Uniquely Geek was founded to create legendary board gaming tables for those seeking a level of customization the market didn’t offer. Beginning as a contractor, I was asked to help manage the website’s and social media’s digital execution. While the business continued to grow, I was brought on to the company in January of 2018 as the Creative and Marketing director and given overall control of the Uniquely Geek brand, website, marketing strategy, and communication channels. Since 2018 I have helped Uniqley Geek grow into a market leader in its space. We have transformed into a purely digital sales process, cultivated a site with over 50% organic traffic, a steady increase in brand awareness, served hundreds of customers, and currently have over 2 years of orders from gear customers for our products.

The Voice
Our content strategy is simple, spare no detail, make it easy, and don’t be afraid to show some geek.
-
There is no use in hiding info that a user will be looking for.
-
In our industry, it’s common for manufacturers to force the customer to place an order or contact them to get a majority of the details on the product.
-
-
The presentation of the content should be accessible and easy to read.
-
Ensure content sections have proper contrast and layout.
-
The amount of text is carefully considered for our SEO strategies and then crafted into manageable chunks, so we don’t overwhelm a customer.
-
-
To me, adding some geek is vital to the success of our content. We’re not just selling a product but providing our customers with an expert, industry-leading experience. Most of the time, we have less than 30 seconds to earn their trust and show that we can genuinely provide the products they are looking to acquire.
-
We frame our purchase process as an adventure, a journey in which you take the first steps behind a screen. And we all know that every incredible journey ends in treasure.
-
To provide the adventure, we often add a little story into a sea of technical details, weaving a bit of geek and fantasy into our content.

The Outcomes
With Covid-19, Uniquely Geek was forced to move to a digital purchase process for its customers due to the cancellation of all comic cons, meetups, and player events. During the first few months of shutdowns, web traffic increased nearly 400% by August 2020, driven by ~ 60% organic traffic with a user time on site of almost 3 minutes. By the end of 2020, Uniquely Geek had received enough orders to have a 1-year backlog. This trend has steadily increased, leading to a 2-year wait time today for their flagship tables, helping to establish UG as an industry leader in its market.
