Summary:
AOK is an online and iOS (Android version on temp hold) social game for good that incentivizes individuals that post, share, comment on and "like" Acts and Observations of Kindness with points that get donated to real world charities and relief efforts. We offer customized and white labeled versions for a fee so that brands may engage community members beyond information exchange into action. We also create campaigns to promote brands' cause marketing efforts. This freely offered bit of code above allows any site admin to drop a feed of AOK acts and observations anywhere on any site. Like a Twitter feed, only it's all about positive action!
Why we are working on this problem:
AOK believes that the world is evolving towards increased social responsibility, both at the individual and the corporate level. Consumers are demanding more from the companies with which they do business and individuals are seeking to get recognized for their positive contributions. Brands and organizations however are often at a loss for feasible strategies to "get in this game" with low risk to their existing traction. With AOK, brands may affordably showcase their contributions, leveraging the strength of their communities' scale and enthusiasm to make positive change.
What we accomplished during the event:
We've built a lively destination and tools that cross market several brands' and organizations' campaigns, thereby introducing proactive citizens to new organizations and brands that also aim to make positive social change. Since launch, we've converted this online and iOS-apps driven user energy into thousands of dollars in donations to real world nonprofits and relief efforts.
Progress made since the event:
Funding, development, launch, strategic partnerships signed.
Traction:
We've closed and/or are closing on several major organizations and brands that will either "live" at AOK, implement our white lable aka "supergroup" solution, campaign-specific widget feeds, and/or drop in the general AOK feed widget's code provided herein. Please contact me (323.627.7428 or ira@aok.tv) for details about which brands/businesses are already on board or about to be.
Next steps:
We're building seminal technology to graphically represent indivudals' long tail of impact in a way that's never been done before and that we predict will make AOK very "sticky".
