A new day, a new design to share! 📸
This time it is a photography challenge app that brings creativity and competition together through contests, voting, and gamification. What do you think of this one? ✨
Contra is such an interesting place to be! It feels so much like LinkedIn, but even better. 😂❤️
I’m still finding my way around here, and I’d love to connect with more people.
If you’re new here too, come closer.
Say hiiiiii, tell me what you do, and let’s get to know each other.
Role: Community Growth & Outreach Marketer (contract), Istina
Istina: Reddit growth plan + 219 Facebook groups mapped across 7 cities
What I did:
Audited 56 subreddits (members, posts per day, self-promo rules, recurring threads) and cut 13 that were dead, restricted or near-empty;
Wrote a 4-phase Reddit growth plan (Trust, Content, Home base, Grow), starting with 2 pilot cities before expanding city by city;
Set a weekly engagement mix where 80-90% of activity never mentions the brand;
Defined 5 content pillars and the metrics to track, from karma and replies to invite-link sign-ups;
Wrote 27 ready-to-post drafts: 15 seed posts for the brand subreddit and 12 comments for live threads;
Found and profiled 219 Facebook groups by city, language, theme, member count, posting activity and privacy;
Mapped the admins of 77 groups (133 admin profiles);
Wrote 86 personalised outreach messages across 4 templates (English city, English niche, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese), opening with a question about the community's must-go places rather than an app link.
