One wildly underutilized channel for driving a bunch of leads and a bunch of new business to agencies is meetups.
Eugene Yee built Meetup’s Messaging platform on iOS, allowing members to extend their Meetup experience beyond face-to-face encounters. This feature also increased Meetup’s average user session length by 28%.
In 8 weeks, he wrote the on-boarding flow, which provides a fun, informative experience for new users to register for Meetup, and join groups quickly and easily. This feature helped increase their group-joins by 60%, and app downloads by 16%. Eugene is now Master Software Engineer at Capital One.
