Community and culture design in Discord
Lera and I will help to transform followers from your business channels into a lovely community that aligns to your business goals and promotes your company culture.
The Community Design Program is a set of on-demand personal workshops that we tailor to your business on the go:
You dedicate a person from your company to lead each Stage - can be a junior employee without a tech background but with a strong will to learn new things.
We help your business setup goals, KPIs and stages and put it to a timeline.
We help you execute and report on the results.
Lera and I will help you start a community initiative, align it to your business, your company culture and train your employees.
