History and Development Stages
February 2016 — Search and analysis of the existing solutions for the bounty campaign launch for the in-house projects.
January 2017 — We formed the Department of Internal Community Managers, The stack of services for the bounty campaign management without possible automation were selected.
March 2017 — Presented the decision on the launch of our own technological base for carrying out the bounty campaign, which included the engineering of business processes, forming a model of the system, the model of the interaction between contractors within the system, and securitization and allocation of funds deposited.
Jun 2017 — The development of parsers for data collection and formation of the slice of the target audience and further identifying of potential influencers. By developing our own parsers, we managed to collect a targeted database of over 25,000 influencers, which were distributed by grades and the parameters corresponding to the quality of each account, its content, and audience coverage. We establish integration with the social networks and channels for automated data collection.
Jul 2017 — Start of the web UI and working prototype of the service for internal clients of the company. Formed the Department on communicating with influencers — within six months specialists of the Department built relationships with each infl uencer, sent an invitation to the system, presented the benefits of using the service. Development of internal tools and run of the test campaigns. We addressed one of the key challenges that faced our team: how to simplify accounting activities of influencers when the number of activities per week can reach several thousand. Developed unique scripts for each social network channel (Facebook, Bitcointalk, Reddit, etc.), which allowed perform automated tracking of the actions (tasks completed) of each user.
Aug 2017 — Full-scale launch of the projects within the platform — Blackmoon, WishFinance, SmsChain, Zangll, Acorn and modernization of the system (integration of the rating module, dynamic budgeting, preparations for the transition of the business model for PR and business direction). Integrated primary metrics and carried out deep integration with Google Analytics (integration between the platform and the client side) to account conversion and perform the calculation of ROI for every action released. As a result, there was a significant transformation of the platform model from a simple service of managing bounty campaigns into a convenient tool, operating on the CPA model and providing the marketer with comprehensive data on the actual campaign and thus allowing optimization in real time.
Actual Moment — The platform is formed as a separate business unit with the full-working staff. There is a set of clear objectives and engineered business processes, as well as launched advertising, affiliate and PR campaign to increase the number of influencers and to attract new customers. While testing the first iterations of the platform prototype, we came to the conclusion that, for example, a startup launching an ICO is required not just a tool to simply launch the bounty campaign, but a competent and systematic establishing of meaningful contact with the target audience. After gathering the market data and performing the analysis of numerous ICO’s bounty campaigns, the specialists of our analytical department came to the conclusion that most of the bounty campaigns were ineffective because, despite the number of performed activities, — ROI and conversions of every activity were not possible to calculate, and the total volume of funds spent (on average 1–3% of the gathered funds during the ICO) formed a considerable sum, which simply disappeared in «pockets» of owners of the aggregated accounts, often not presenting the target audience with any real value.
