We do not have the MVP ready yet, but we plan to launch it within 1-2 months, and i’m gonna explain you why. So keep reading if you feel our energy 💞 ❓ WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE ❓ Shockwave is a SaaS platform that aims to reinvent your social media marketing campaigns through gamification and social farming. Its functionality allows brands and content creators to easily and quickly create social campaigns. Firstly, you'll select the tasks you want your community to undertake on your posts, such as liking, commenting, sharing, watching videos until the end, creating customized content with hashtags, across all major social media platforms. Next, you'll choose a reward that best suits your community's interests. Options could include, for example, clothing items for brand owners, meet & greet for influencers, free consultations for entrepreneurs, VIP concert tickets for singers, and more. After that, you'll share the campaign on your social media. People interested in the offered prize will register on Shockwave and complete the specified tasks. Each completed task will earn them points (e.g., a like on TikTok = 2 points, a comment on a YouTube video = 10 points). The campaigns will be of two types: either a raffle, where Shockwave randomly selects winners from those who completed all the tasks, or a ranked competition, where leaderboards are automatically formed, and the top-ranked participants receive the prizes. ✳️ WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO CREATE A SHOCKWAVE CAMPAIGN? ✳️ 1.

@busmark_w_nika Hey nika, thanks for your interest! So, currently the reward management system is in the hands of the creator of the campaign and therefore of the person who puts up the reward itself. Everything we've built so far has been done in 10 weeks, so we've had very little time to think of an effective solution, but we definitely plan to integrate something in the future that will allow for easy management of the whole reward distribution process should the need arise. So yes, the reward system will be a mainstay for the future. However, the rewards can be of any kind. Not everyone could include cash prizes as rewards. Giving you examples, an apparel brand might raffle off its merchandise, a digital creator the chance to have an experience together with its most loyal fans. There is an infinite number of possibilities to offer something that incentivizes one's community to interact to try to win. And the coolest thing will be when people can flip from one campaign to another moving communities and interactions to everyone making them grow. I hope I have been clear, if you have any other curiosities please ask!

Shockwave looks incredible, congrats today @gionata_capasso and @matteo_magliozzi !! The video on the website is awesome as well.🔥 How did you guys create that?
Matteo Magliozzi
@gionata_capasso @maurizioisendoorn Thank you, Maurizio! I handled the pre-production with the script and storyboard on Figma, then I received the help of a friend of ours in creating all the animations in After Effects and the soundtrack. Congratulations to you too for the successful launch of Ringly.io!
Maurizio Isendoorn
@gionata_capasso @matteo_magliozzi Thanks! Your video is really clear and to the point as well. I'm sure it'll convert some users

@binay_singh2 Thank you !!

I do not understand. You are "starting" something you cannot use. You can just sign up for the waitlist?! This is a red flag for me. If you launch something (in my opinion) then because you are done - in other case you simply put it in "Coming soon" I think you lose a lot of potential users and upvotes over this practice. Make the landing page much clearer, it is not understandable if you offer an AI to generate social media content? What does "comment" mean? Does it comment automatically? Same with following? Does it automatically follow users? It is absolutely not clear to me, try to break down what you offer in a shorter way.
gionata capasso
@g_briel Hey Gabriel, Thank you for your time and feedback. As I wrote in the commentary, I am inside a 10-week development challenge, and for the purpose of the challenge I should have launched even to get a validation of the idea. The first MVP is almost finished after which to make the launch effective we need to find people ready to propose campaigns in our platform. As written in the description as well as in the various tags and in the first launch commentary, we do not generate content or use AI. Ours is a platform that acts as an enhancer of social media marketing campaigns and beyond. We leverage a marketing trend that has worked very well in Web3 and Crypto Space. This trend is social farming, which is: At the base is a creator, a brand, a company that wants to increase engagement and says to its community: ''Do interactions in my social profiles, as much as possible, we will monitor it and reward financially or through other rewards the people who do it best in terms of quantity and quality.'' So the creator, brand or company instead of spending on ads, puts something up for grabs in a competition for whoever interacts the most with in their social profiles, in this way they climb the algorithms, grow and get noticed by a lot of other people as well pushed by the people who, seeing the opportunity to earn money, interact a lot with in their profiles.'' The interactions are the likes, comments, follows, shares, etc., what in our platform are the ''tasks.'' We are bringing that, but for everyone in a simplified way. You company, brand or creator come into our platform, you create a campaign, you put something up for grabs to boost interactions, you choose the tasks by which the scores will be determined and then the leaderboards to reward the best participants, and you will give a huge boost to your engagement in addition to all the other benefits listed on the landing page. You don't spend on ads, you spend on rewards for the community, you have the opportunity to grow on all the social professions of your choice, you reach out to other communities thanks to the exposure of campaigns and their rewards in our platform and last but not least, people are happy because they can earn by interacting. I hope everything is clear now. Thank you for telling me that some things are not clear, I would be happy to stay in touch so that I will be in future launches.

congrats on the launch. cool idea.

@ashitaa Thank you so much!
Matteo Magliozzi
@ashitaa Thank you very much for the support Ashita.
Dario Fusco
Well done! I've experienced the flourishing period of NFTs and I'm familiar with these mechanics. There are many case studies demonstrating the success of these types of mechanics. The fact that you're bringing it to a completely different market is commendable. I'm not sure how much of a positive effect it will have, but conceptually, there's a lot of potential.
gionata capasso
@dario_fusco Yes, It is precisely from the NFT world that the idea and the need to grow the visibility of our brand that the idea of taking up the mechanics of managing sweepstakes and whitelisting based on user interaction on twitter was born, also taking advantage of the social farming trend that has brought great results to NFT projects such as Imaginary Ones, Memeland and PacMoon.
