The Communities Show
How to measure engagement. How to choose the right metric. Some of the fun and new engagement mechanics
Good Monday,
I am Olle and I broke my audio. See the bottom of the email to learn how.
We run a special show with Anna Grigoryan from Community Weekly where we focus on community engagement:
How to measure the engagement
How to choose the right metric
Some of the fun and new engagement mechanics
This is a lighter, funnier version of The Post-Facebook Communities show with Anna as a co-host where 4 of us focus on 1 particular community-related topic.
We’ll do episodes with Anna more often if the views numbers confirm that you all enjoy the new format.
Make the numbers better by telling a friend that we exist and are worth a watch.
Hosts:
Community builders and digital content creators. Available for contract work.
Lera: artist, full-time gen z, queen 👑
Karina: business leader, money 🤑
Anna: founder, writer, engineer 👩🏻🔬
Olle: product, devrel, tech 🎥

Look, I broke my sound in this episode because I didn’t have time to test my mic before the show. Sad and stupid.
