The client wanted to build an Instagram-like social media where people can get out of the borders of passive content toward more engaging content. The client wanted to focus on a massive market rather than a niche one because of social media platforms’ ubiquitous character.
Targeted problem
The client realized that social media is becoming a de-facto place for passive content. An engaging social media should not focus only on the “influencer-follower” flow of content, but also on the “follower-influencer” flow of content.
Offered Solution
A team of 6 people (PM, BA, 2 Back-end, and 2 Mobile Engineers) developed a mobile app that is focused on the empowerment of followers so that they feel more engaged with the influencers they follow. The solution is aimed at stimulating active and engaging content.
