When Geek took on the website design for 606 Speech, a Chicago speech language therapy resource, we knew that our focus would have to be on clear, direct communication.

To that end, the 606 Speech site is all about intuitive design, engaging colors, and a fun – yet professional – visual aesthetic.

Because so much of the group’s business involves working with young children, we saw this build as a chance to get playful with our design. With that in mind, we toyed around with different, out-of-the-ordinary fonts and incorporated bright, eye-grabbing cartoons into the layout, which also features vivid pictures of the 606 team doing what they do best – working side by side with their young clients to fix a variety of speech therapy issues in a supportive atmosphere.

ELLIPSIS Architecture + Design is doing some of the most intriguing and innovative work in Chicago. Their team's forward-thinking, client-first approach meshes well with our own philosophy here at Geek.

So when the firm brought Geek onboard to handle its digital marketing, our task was to find a way to translate ELLIPSIS' bold, interesting approach to creating “meaningful solutions” through architecture into the digital idiom, our area of expertise.

At Geek, we believe that email is still one of the most powerful marketing tools available to businesses today. And we have the data to back it up; in fact, the Direct Marketing Association has found that email is twice as effective as any other direct digital marketing approach.

How do you succinctly and stylishly sum up the goings on for one of the busiest, most eclectic counties in the country?

That was the challenge Geek faced when we started working with Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle on her “Week in Review” newsletter.

How do you design an email marketing campaign that users actually look forward to opening up and clicking through? How do you emphasize functional design and compatibility without sacrificing quality content?

Sleek lines, intuitive functionality, timeless visual appeal.

These are the qualities that come from the best architects and web designers alike, and they’re what we brought to the professional site for architect Carlo Ruth.

Going in, we knew that Carlo’s website needed to be as appealing – and as multi-faceted – as his work as an architect.

Finn Law Group is a Florida-based firm that specializes in pretty noble work: getting their clients out of unwanted timeshare contracts. Their digital presence needed to highlight the team’s professionalism, experience, and reputation. Unfortunately, their site was out of date and not optimized for their ideal user – until Geek stepped in.

Working closely with the firm, our team led a comprehensive revamp of their site’s design and branding.

How do you showcase the ideals of an old school Chicago family-run business in a digital world?

That was the opportunity Geek took on when we began working with J. Blanton Plumbing, a plumbing and HVAC company based on Chicago’s North Side.

The answer? Stay authentic, stay real, and stay engaged with the community.
