Partnership Goal
The social commerce space was booming, but connecting brands with the right creators remained a challenge. This limited the potential for mutually beneficial collaborations. Recognizing this, our client approached us to develop a mobile app, Sponzee, designed to streamline brand-creator partnerships.
Before
- Brands struggled to find relevant influencers.
- Creators faced difficulty finding and managing brand collaborations.
- The overall process was time-consuming and inefficient.
After
- Brands can easily search and connect with targeted creators.
- Real-time communication is streamlined through in-app chat.
- Creators can effortlessly manage collaborations.
- Content creation becomes a focus with simplified collaboration.
Team Formation
To build Sponzee, we put together a dream team of 12. We had experts who could build the app itself (mobile developers), handle the behind-the-scenes stuff (backend engineers), make it look great (frontend developers), and find any bugs (QA testers). With a project manager leading the way, everyone worked together smoothly to bring Sponzee to life!
