How Wayne uses Uniqode
Branded codes as a routine deliverable, one per person on a client's team.
for account longevity across all Uniqode customers

The challenge
A one-person design studio is judged on how the work looks, including the parts clients never think about. A default black-and-white QR code dropped into a carefully built brand system is a visible compromise, and the client sees it. At the same time a small studio has no leverage to ask each client for analytics access, so whatever it builds has to report back to the studio itself.
The solution
Wayne produces codes at person granularity: individual digital cards for named people on client teams, each with its own code, tracked separately rather than pooled into one company link. Across a book of clients that means nearly a new destination every other code. The studio's practical trick is duplicating a working code as a template so the design settings carry over, the fastest way for a solo designer to keep visual consistency across unrelated brands.
How Wayne puts it to work
One card, one person, one code
Digital cards are produced for named individuals on client teams, each with its own code, so an individual's card performance is visible instead of blended into a company total.
A new destination every other code
Across a book of unrelated clients, codes point almost everywhere but the studio's own site. One account carries the whole practice.
Working codes duplicated as templates
Rather than rebuilding from scratch, a code that already carries the right design treatment is duplicated. It is how one designer keeps output consistent across brands that share nothing.
Branded, not generic
Design flexibility is the reason the tool is in the studio at all: a code that looks designed can go into a client's brand system without being the compromise on the page.

04 · The outcome
Five years of continuous use, one of the longest-running accounts in this group. The per-code performance is the surprising part: a small studio account outperforms typical peers by a clear multiple, because the codes are placed on things people actually pick up.
