Our Platform

The Community Platform is an intuitive tool designed to help you engage and manage your audience. It allows you to segment your Members by interests, so you can send content that is tailored to their preferences. You can even set up automatic responses when Members text you certain keywords. Additionally, you can opt-out Members who send you inappropriate texts, report them to the Trust & Safety team, and block them from joining your Community again. Import and export data with ease, and take control of your audience data.

Guillaume Huin,
Social Media Director, McDonald’s

“It’s the friend to friend text, that makes you feel like you hold an authentic and unique relation with someone, or in this case, with your favorite brand. Community allows that, and empowers your brand to be the friend, even sometimes confidant, that you want to be as a brand with your fans, taking our social media engagement one step further.”

Anthony Cain Director of Integrated Marketing Strategy, HBO Max
“For the newest chapter of Gossip Girl we knew we wanted to do something future-forward to immerse audiences into the show. The instant and direct engagement on Community allowed us to do things like send text blasts with exclusive content and teasers to our fans at the exact same time that a blast was sent by Gossip Girl in the show, with so many fans commenting that this made the show feel truly “real”. Overall, Community worked to make the world of Gossip Girl feel real for fans, utilizing social media in the same way that it was depicted in the storyline - this was something truly unique to this medium.”

Kerry Washington 
When director, producer, and actress Kerry Washington wanted to get even closer to her fans, she invited her 5+ million Twitter followers to text her directly. And two years later, Kerry’s still using Community to build a unique relationship with hers. 
Ahmad Akar, Odd Sox
"We don’t feel like we’re being vague and casting a wide net to everyone on social media. The kind of texts you’re going to get from me—it’s going to be like a friend."
