How much can we talk about community building? All day long! Well, this episode took a lot less to record, but we could have gone for hours on end exploring our guests' journey. We were joined by Alex Hilleary, Community Lead at ChartHop, and Former Co-Founder at Gather, to explore all things community building. And so we did! We've talked about:
- the emergence of community-based marketing
- his journey from intern to co-founder, and now community manager at Charthop
- the importance of having the right people in your community and weaving that into every step of the members’ experience
- using the community space to sense-check user needs and decide the future of the community
- how over-designing can work against you
