This is a highly exclusive website for business professionals interested in being part of a local Networking Group. What makes this network unlike any other is the web application I've built which allows site members to exchange leads and referrals privately with one-another. I've also integrated elements of Gamification so that members can earn badges and move up in ranks for sending referrals to their fellow members. I communicate with the site members twice a week on our email communications.

OurBlok has a lot of moving parts, all of which we are involved in. From laying out the infrastructure of their websites, managing the content therein, to paginating their magazines; We have had a hand in OurBlok’s operations. OurBlok has serviced their clients via daily-deals (like Groupon), multi-vendor ecommerce, company profiles, print publications, loyalty rewards cards and much more…

Working under the direction of my client, managing and maintaining OurBlok was a full time endeavor. When their sales professionals would close a deal, they would report it to a form that we created, and it would notify everyone on the corporate team. We would then carry out our individual tasks, which often-times overlapped.

We would create a company profile page for the clients, build their ad to be featured on OurBlok’s hyper-local quarterly magazines (which we assisted in paginating) and give them a spot on our weekly communications for their area.

The email blast I was tasked to manage targeted OurBlok Members based on a geographical region. Most OurBlok members were earned though our loyalty rewards system.

We also spearheaded the integration of their rewards platform. We created a data architecture that bridged a third party team of developers with a loyalty rewards card api. The cards were dynamic in such a way that a user could earn rewards and coupons for themselves.
