ABOUT
Rise Community Consulting is a one-stop resource to overcome the challenges of creating a unique, engaged community. This leads to enthusiastic customers, adding remarkable value to the product experience through acquisition, expansion, and retention. Because a successful community is a powerful way to build a business.
I’m Megan Smolen and I’ve turned my desire to create and build extraordinary communities into a thriving consulting practice.
I’ve worked on creating communities for over 14 years and I’m taking the knowledge, skills, and expertise I’ve gained in traditional work settings to help strategically advise on growing more unique and successful communities.
Over the years, I’ve grown multiple communities from a thousand members to a few million; including a career platform, an e-commerce business, and a digital media brand. The common threads between these diverse brands include active and engaged members to support the company’s visions and goals. Because when a community thrives, so does the business’s bottom line.
I’ve learned what it’s like to support the growth of a community and I’m excited to share useful tricks and tools within my consulting practice, doing work that I love and am proud of. Now, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with you so that your community will successfully rise.
Cheers,
Megan Smolen
