WR Chess – Chess Sport Digitally Revolutionized
The Challenge in Chess Sport

WR Chess faced the task of making chess sport accessible to a modern, digital target group. Traditional chess clubs were struggling with declining membership numbers, while online chess was becoming increasingly popular. WR Chess wanted to bridge this gap and build a connection between traditional and digital chess.

Target Group Analysis and Positioning

We identified three main target groups: chess beginners who wanted to learn online, experienced players looking for competitions, and parents who wanted to teach their children chess. Based on this, we positioned WR Chess as a modern, accessible platform for all chess enthusiasts.

Content Marketing & Community Building

We developed a comprehensive content strategy with chess tutorials, game analyses, and tournament highlights. Social media campaigns on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook built an engaged community. Live streams of games and educational videos established WR Chess as an authority in online chess. Learn how strategic content marketing can make your company an industry authority too.

Performance Marketing for Member Growth

Targeted Google Ads campaigns for keywords like 'learn chess online', 'join chess club', and 'online chess tournament' generated qualified leads. Facebook and Instagram ads appealed to visual learners with animated chess content. Would you like to learn how such targeted Google Ads strategies can work for your project too? Or are you interested in creative social media campaigns and visual content marketing?

E-Learning Platform Optimization

The WR Chess online platform was optimized for optimal user experience. Gamification elements like achievements, ranking systems, and progress tracking motivated members to actively learn and play regularly.
