iRise – Strategic and Marketing Projects
User-Generated Video ContestCampaign
For iRise, I created and managed a video contest to stoke the creativity of our user base. An overview of the contest and a
summary of the results can be found on my social media blog.
We received44 entriesto the contest. During the contest, we had over 16,000 visitors to the contest website who looked at
57,000 pages and the videos received more than 30,000 views on YouTube.
iRise - On Campus and Entrepreneur Campaigns
At iRise, I also created and managed our On Campus and Entrepreneur campaigns. Inthe On Campus program, I connected
with professors who were teaching design, programming and entrepreneurial programs where we provided free access to our
rapid prototyping software. The Entrepreneur program provided free software trials to start-up companies to use our
software to help get their products and solutions off the ground.
iRise – Professional User Community
Another project at iRise was starting and nurturing a professional user community. The community was called Catalyze and
the target audience included business analysts, user experience professionals and web designers.
I developed the community strategy and was responsible for managing the community. I curated, created and posted
content, recruitedguest bloggers, hosted the monthly webinars and interacted with the members.
Over the 13 months ending in July 2008, the community grew from zero to over 4,000 members. During that time,the
Catalyze community site has had 68,000 visitors, 37,000 unique visitors and served up 293,000 pageviews with average visits
of 4 1/2 minutes per visit.
Here are several posts I wrote about my community experiences:
 Happy Birthday Catalyze
 Catalyze Community Featured in KM
 My Best Community Management Blog Posts
 Farewell to the Catalyze Community
Unfortunately, iRise had to lay off 40% of their staff in 2008 and the professional community website was ultimately shut
down in 2010 from lack of attention.
