Today we’d like to introduce you to Jason Clarke.
Hi Jason, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Gaming and technology, in general, have always been a point of interest. My partner and I have a background in IT and we happen to be avid gamers, but most importantly, we are a part of “Nerd Culture.” We were honestly inspired by the communities themselves to initiate this business. There is so much that video games can provide to the average person and there is so much to learn from video games as well. We wanted to showcase and highlight that in our company and that is where our inspiration came from. Really, just showcasing and providing a safe space for people to put on display their abilities.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The hardest but most rewarding component has been building the trust of the communities. The communities are not always so inviting. However, we have been genuine in our approach, and we have put a great product out for the communities to consume. The communities really are receiving the company and the brand well.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Swagged Out Nerds?
SON (Swagged Out Nerds) is a disabled veteran-owned organization that is THE premier Esports organization in Middle Georgia. SON is the organization the City of Macon leans on for all things Esports. SON is still in its infancy but has established a solid network due to the willingness to be “boots on ground” when it comes to Esports and community outreach. We have fostered a safe environment for competitive gaming that extends outside of Middle GA.
We have had an economic impact by bringing in competitors from out of the county, city, and state to compete in our events in Macon, GA. Virtually we have sponsored smash events that have gained the attention from participants located in the US and Canada. We host a series of local events known as “The Nerds-Cup.” The Nerds-Cup leads to an expo known as “Nerds-Con,” which will actually be held summer of 2022 in Macon, GA. I believe our willingness and our ability to connect with communities is what separates us from everyone else. We are genuine and deliberate in our approach and we openly want to see gamers succeed, which is why we have partnered with different High Schools and Colleges to provide perspective and insight to students.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
We are always open to collaborate and welcome support with open arms. The biggest thing for us is adding more companies and products to our events. We want for our consumers to compete of course, but we also want for it to be an experience as well. Something that they talk about weeks after the event happened.
