Case Study 1: Launch New Online Community Platform
Transformed Outsite's outdated Slack community into a sleek Member Hub, seamlessly integrating into their mobile app. With a 74% member adoption rate and engagement at 24% MAU, the platform now connects 5,000+ Members globally.

  • When the pandemic began in 2020, it significantly restricted Outsite’s in-person community strategy. Although there was an existing online Slack group for Members, Slack presented several issues:

    • Required a separate account for access

    • Conversations and knowledge expired

    • Provided extremely limited analytics

    • Poor navigation and lack of channel organization

    • Unbranded community space and experience

    Given these challenges, a decision was made to find a new Community Platform to better meet the community's needs and seamlessly integrate with a future mobile app.

  • Project Lead and Product Lead as Outsite’s Head of Community and Events

    • Determined and prioritized essential community platform features

    • Researched and compared Community Platform options

    • Facilitated 2 rounds of Member Feedback

    • Built the environment and seeded all content for launch

    • Created online community guidelines, new onboarding strategy, and content calendar

    • Created migration plan to transition community away from Slack group

    • Co-created launch campaign and deliverables with Marketing to ensure smooth transition

    • Hosted 4 Team Trainings prior to launch; created all training materials

    • Set new KPIs based expanded data sets available

  • ✅ Successfully transitioned community platform: https://hub.outsite.co/home

    ✅ High member adoption rate of 74%

    ✅ Increased MAU (Monthly Active Member) to consistently reach 24% (8-10% is expected)
