Korked
Partnered with Chicago Cubs Manager Joe Maddon, Korked helps baseball fans all over the continent show off their obsession, with a lifestyle brand encapsulating the true culture baseball has inspired for more than a century. Korked was founded by two friends, both former college baseball players. Together with the help of Joe Maddon, and the creative genius of iNET, they developed the shirt that would help fuel the Cubbie madness in Wrigelyville during their historic 2016 World Series run. “Try Not To Suck,” became a North Side mantra and has since sold hundreds of thousands of times to baseball lovers and Cubbies fans across the globe.
Website Dilemma
Korked came to iNET with only an idea we knew they could win. iNET was tasked with finding a solution to give Korked a strong online presence to set them apart from the countless comparable competitors with similar brands and audiences. What was that solution? DOING IT BETTER! iNET’s creative genius team stepped up to the plate and launched a dinger out of the park with a complete design concept and marketing strategy.
Technology Implemented
iNET’s team of experienced web designers, creative genius, SEO specialists, and copywriters attacked this project from all angles using:
- Search Engine Optimization
- Content Management System
- HTML
- CSS
- Javascript
- jQuery
- Flash
- Graphic Design
- Copywriting
- Video
Outcome
When it comes to creating profitable web marketing platforms, iNET is never brushed off the plate.
Our web designers wrote unique code for an original e-commerce site customized to the client’s specifications. iNET’s creative genius marketing team painted the corners with a custom logo and branding. Korked brand awareness blasted off, backed by comprehensive print marketing. Our SEO specialists helped Korked float to the top of search engine result pages, and iNET copywriters drafted straight-talking content to mirror the brand's edgy attitude.
Korked now enjoys a cult following, and has more employees, more products and more business ventures to develop. Korkedbaseball.com’s organic traffic and online sales have exploded. Following the Cubs’ 2016 World Series win, iNET worked furiously to help Korked keep up with demand from an energized fan base. It was a feat lesser design firms would dismiss outright or fail to achieve.
Early in 2017, Korked Baseball secured an exclusive agreement with Perfect Game, the world’s largest amateur baseball scouting organization. Korked is now the Official lifestyle brand of Perfect Game apparel. The guys are busy rolling out their first line of branded designs. With creative genius design and marketing from iNET, Korked went from unknown upstart to baseball’s brand in its rookie year with no end in sight. Their immense success has further allowed Korked to give back: through their partnership with Joe Maddon, Korked donates a portion of sales to Maddon’s charitable foundation, Respect 90.
Building profit-generating brands and websites is what we do, there is no offseason for iNET.
