Case Studies
SocialMediaToday builds better web communities with WordFrame
In 2007, Robin Fray Carey and Jerry Bowles co-founded Social Media Today, a moderated online business community for social media bloggers, marketers, PR, and media professionals. Subsequently they started, SocialMediaToday, LLC, a company which creates specific, business-purposed, socially networked communities using WordFrame as their core platform. They chose WordFrame because it helps them:
- unite all the influential bloggers on a single platform
- moderate the conversation with the content management tools
- invite new members to join, fill out profiles, create posts, rate posts, and connect with each other
- create reports for the community sponsors
- easily add new content, including video, audio and other formats
The communities they've created with WordFrame include:
