As 2024 comes to a close, we at Click & Brew are filled with gratitude and pride as we reflect on a transformative year. This year has been about growth, innovation, and strengthening our community and partners. Here’s a deeper dive into what we’ve achieved and learned as a team, a business, and as founders:
Retail Growth
This year, we experienced a remarkable growth in our retail business. We expanded our partnership with renowned brands like GMK and WOOTING and built direct relationships with manufacturers, which allowed us to gain deep industry insights. Through visits to global trade shows, the Shanghai Keyboard Meet, and manufacturers in China, we’ve elevated our standards of quality control and enhanced the variety we offer our customers.
Launching ‘The Laboratory’
We took a significant step into product innovation with the launch of The Laboratory—our dedicated space for creativity and customization. Here, enthusiasts can build and customize macropads, experiment with 3D product printing, and bring unique ideas to life. This initiative reflects our passion for fostering creativity and building products that connect with our community.
Events & Workshops
This year, we’ve truly embraced the power of community through our 60+ roadshows and pop-up events. Our corporate workshops have seen exponential growth, with over 30 new corporate clients spanning Malaysia and Singapore. To better serve our corporate audience, our HRDC-certified trainers revamped the workshop modules, adding structure and relevance to team-building efforts. One highlight? Hosting our largest workshop ever with 150 participants!
Hotswap.store
We proudly launched Hotswap.store, our preloved buy-and-sell marketplace designed to encourage sustainable consumption. Our “ship to verify” model ensures secure, trustworthy transactions, giving users peace of mind while fostering a circular economy. This platform aligns with our values of quality and trust, creating new opportunities for keyboard enthusiasts to connect.
Sponsorships & Exposure
This year, we sponsored major events like Google I/O Extended, Malaysia Startup Week 2024, and HERizon, stepping into the tech and startup space. These opportunities have allowed us to engage with innovators and entrepreneurs, gaining exposure and insights that fuel our growth.
Lessons & Growth
2024 has been a year of invaluable learning. From managing rapid growth to deepening collaborations, we’ve learned the importance of adaptability, resilience, and staying true to our values. As a team, we’ve strengthened our bond, celebrated milestones, and overcome challenges together.
Looking Ahead
As we move into 2025, we’re excited to build on this momentum. We aim to continue innovating, growing, and fostering connections within the mechanical keyboard community and beyond.
Thank you to our amazing team, partners, and customers for making 2024 unforgettable. Here’s to creating more memories and milestones together in the year ahead!
