About the product
Human Agency is an aggregator for SMM, digital marketing, and advertising campaigns that are up for crowdfunding.
The startup was initially planned as a social tool to support candidates before the election. A user posts an advertising campaign on the platform and raises funds by having other users support it.
The initial plan was to launch the advertising campaigns on: • Google; • Facebook; • Instagram.
Potentially Twitter and Snapchat.
Development
It took 500 days to develop.
The features we implemented: • Authorization via Facebook and email. • Data collection panel for efficiency analysis. • A standardized interface for placing ads on all connected websites. • Facebook API, Instagram API, Google API for advertising campaigns.
Product features
Automated Advertising
After targeting is set up, automated ads are launched on Facebook, Instagram, Google in a smart investment mode. You can launch one advertising campaign or a few at a time. The application will determine which of your campaigns is the most effective and pay for it.
Crowdfunding
With this platform, one can propose an advertising campaign and let other users generate funds for it, just like Kickstarter does.
