The ever changing social media market and the way its users approach the internet leads Bloglovin' to have to be on their feet all the time.

They were looking for someone who can build as well as maintain Activate.

Solution

Mindrops used Agile technology to deliver what Bloglovin’ was looking for. It set up a dedicated on shore and off shore team, working closely for more than 4 years to maintain, upgrade and resolve all the technical issues faced by Activate platform. The technology we developed makes it super simple to collaborate with hundreds or even thousands of influencers on scalable custom content campaigns across social channels, and to manage and measure these campaigns every step of the way.

This Custom Software service offered by Mindrops helped Activate to become a robust system and to work with more then hundred thousand brands, actively catering to their various brand needs. The platform included Fortune 500 companies but also startups and it provided a holistic environment to cater to all their needs , becoming a One Stop solution for influencers as well as brands.
