How we do it
As part of Promise, Promise Communities carries with it a wealth of heritage: We have a track record of exceptional consumer driven strategy and innovation. We look beneath the surface to find subconscious wants and hidden needs. We are pioneers in co-creation techniques and market leaders in emotional marketing and brand creation. All of which has created an enviable client list.
Heritage is not the only thing that makes our approach unique and allows us to do what we do. Three core elements give us our special blend and help us stand head and shoulders above any other online community provider: our proprietary technology, unrivalled expertise and unique processes.
Our technology
Our technology is at the leading edge of online collaboration. We have worked with some of the world's leading technologists, psychologists and usability experts to design it.
At the centre of our technology sit an array of tools that allow us to co-create solutions with the community. These tools include Brainstorming Rooms, Idea Voting Sessions, Live Online workshops, quant and qual surveys, usability testing, diary keeping, multimedia exchange and 1-2-1 interviews. These tools are complimented with a mix of powerful features that have been designed to absorb participants in the process and build their engagement.
The technology is fully customisable, meaning we can tailor the look and feel to your brand and modify the functionality to suit your needs.
A team of eight full time developers work on continuously improving the technology: from improving usability to designing new cutting edge tools.
Our expertise
Our team is made up of psychologists, brand experts, researchers, economists, web leaders & abstract thinkers. We pride ourselves in the diversity of our team, and it is through our unique mix of marketing, psychology, strategy & branding expertise that we transform community conversations into actionable insight.
We are fanatical about making life as simple as possible for our clients. For this reason our team does all the heavy lifting: we set up the community, brand it, tailor it, recruit consumers, design enquiries, steer conversations and analyse the outputs. Our consultants then work on embedding these outputs within your organisation. We do all this, leaving you free to concentrate on figuring out what challenges you need resolved next.
Our processes
We have spent a lot of time developing our intellectual property - we see it as our greatest asset. Our internal Co-creation Wiki sits at the centre of our intellectual property development. The Co-creation Wiki is a collaborative platform where our team and guest experts have written the "bible of co-creation". It is where we develop our best practices and our own research innovations blossom. Inside the Wiki you will find everything from NPD and Brand Positioning processes through to psychological techniques to enable participants to interact with honesty and intelligence.
Whilst we have these processes and tools we are acutely aware that every client and every community is unique. This means that we tailor everything that we do - there certainly is no one size fits all solution.
Oh, and we have our very own Promise Community so that we can co-create for our own business (well, it would be hypocritical if we were to tell you that you needed a community without having one ourselves.)
