Quikly, headquartered in downtown Detroit, has merged the socially engaging experiences of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and bottled them digitally, creating a new kind of engagement for brands and consumers.
“It’s great to be recognized among leaders in Detroit’s rising tech scene, but this recognition is a testament to the grit and determination our team has shown over the last couple years,” said Geller, a native of Philadelphia. He moved the company to Detroit three years ago after securing funding from Detroit Venture Partners. Today, Quikly calls the M@dison Building home.
The Quikly team has tripled its headcount in the last six months as it continues to grow. Quikly has been working with brands – like Microsoft, Pet Supplies Plus, Domino's, Tim Hortons, Ann Taylor Loft and Carhartt – to execute unique and memorable promotional campaigns for consumers.
Quikly's mechanics include:
- The ability to deliver store traffic and sales over a short period of time.
- Activation of existing customers and acceleration of purchase consideration.
- The creation of brand advocacy to deliver like-minded new customers.
- Predictive modeling that creates marketing transparency into ROI.
Quikly is a solution for the following industries: retail, food, automotive, CPG, travel & destination, and entertainment & movies. "Consumers love Quikly, and we've helped brands drive 50 percent conversion on average," Geller said.
