What's your business, and who are your customers?
Gamactica is a content creation, social, and growth platform for the content creation and gaming industries. Essentially, we provide an innovative platform for brands, businesses, creators, influencers, and fans can connect with a one-of-a-kind search engine infrastructure that efficiently connects audiences with niche-specific content. We are the only platform in the industry that provides award-winning internet marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) benefits and impact across all industries and niches in the content and gaming spaces. Essentially, members can use our platform to share, network, connect with fans, improve discoverability, and harness the power of marketing in the digital economy. We are working on an extension of our platform called Disko, which will be a live-streaming and content-creation platform built for scale, monetization, and mainstream market interest. We plan to completely disrupt the current landscape of content creation, influencer marketing, and live-streaming by integrating proven marketing efforts to help deliver and scale value.
Tell us about yourself
I started in Internet Marketing and Search Engine Optimization with a small firm back in Albany, New York, back in 2006, and it instantly became a passion. I was instrumental in growing that firm to become one of the largest internet marketing and SEO firms in the industry, handling over 100 clients, training the majority of their staff, and leading their SEO initiatives. I formed my own firm in 2009, Elite Rank Media, where I built a solid reputation for quality work and creative implementation.
Gamactica launched in 2018 as a community for a Twitch channel, and once I saw the absence of SEO and Internet Marketing throughout the live-streaming, gaming, esports, and content creation niches, I slowly molded it into the platform it is today, which is now ready for the next phase following funding. I also moonlight as a writer, contributing to outlets such as Forbes, Huffington Post, Search Engine Watch, Sport Rants, Fright Nerd, and News Break, among others, throughout my career, covering sports, marketing, gaming, and content creation.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Working with a number of incredible brands, businesses, and people throughout my career. I have been fortunate to work within a variety of niches and industries, earned awards and recognition, and most importantly, had a positive impact. I have always valued strong business relationships and going the extra mile.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Staying the course. Having launched or helped grow a number of brands, I knew it was important to be patient. So, I set out a five-year plan where the fifth year would be where the business was multi-faceted and ready for something on a larger scale - and Gamactica is pretty much there.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Stay Consistent and Patient.
- Never Ignore Internet Marketing & SEO.
- Be Able to Pivot when Needed.
