The Mobile Commons platform is the bridge between your brand, your information, and everyone's mobile phone. Using our technology, customers and developers can create applications that use data and voice to connect people to products that interest them, causes they care about, and information they want to find.

People want quick, simple, reliable access to information wherever they are. Mobile Commons goes beyond messaging and provides the mobile channel of communication by integrating voice and data with open API's. Our platform provides simple tools to make use of this new channel of communication and plug in your existing applications and data - offering new insights into how people interact with your brand and information.

References / Past Projects

Climate Counts recently launched an environmental scorecard program, in which companies are ranked according to their impact on climate change. Consumers can text a keyword and then a company name ("cc nike," for example) and receive a text message containing Climate Counts' report on the company, as well as information about how the company fares relative to its competitors.

Over the past year or so, we have provided the Edwards team with a range of mobile services and consultation. Working with their web team, we have designed everything from general opt-in campaigns to more specific, time-sensitive campaigns and services, including: a program that allowed people to text Edwards questions during a live, televised town hall meeting; text-messaging-based petitions; and a campaign to provide updates and tips about conservation and greenhouse gas-reduction. The campaign recently broke new ground by launching the first-ever mobile political fundraising program, which they built on our platform.

Aveda ran a nationwide campaign in which they asked customers to text in and sign a petition demanding that the UN make access to clean water a human right. Thousands of customers did so, and 32 percent of these customers followed up and provided their email as well.
