 How We Scale

                             Mobile Social Marketplace:




     Value Proposition
       1. Users: look cool and get more responses to social posts
       2. Designers: create art that is seen and shared. They get known, build
            audience, and get paid. (Key Stakeholder!)
       3. Brands: Get tangible social ROI (i.e. word of mouth by real brand advocates)

Editor's Notes

  1. We took our inspiration from Instagram- They used try of Filters- and created 80M photo editors with push button UI. Push a button and photo changes.We have same UI but layer on designs not Filters (300M photos uploaded to facebook everyday- we assume the photos are good enough as they are- so adding design is best way to improve the post to get more feedback from friends.)
  2. We tested Try on Designs with facebook content to make websites.- Too Complicated- users do not come back without Game incentive.We dumbed it down to just profile photos to create Timeline Profile covers.
  3. Users Want it free- but designers need to be paid
  4. Users Want free, Designers Want to be Paid…Brands want users to advocate for them.. Brands Pay designers, users Advocate…
  5. Why we did itUser data is incredibly rich, with many varied, growing and changing fields related to user profiles, friends, interests, and actions on your sitesEven though our customers have always had access to this data via social login, we found out that they were not storing or utilizing itWe addressed this by designing our social identity storage infrastructure from the ground up as a schemaless database (mongo DB) that would simplify this data storage for our customers
