Company Culture at Mobilization Labs

Friday, June 18th, 2010

My name is John and I am the newest member of the sales team. I started less than one week ago on June 11, 2010.  My first day we had a company wide meeting to talk about our core values.  Caleb Clark, Founder and Chief Experience Officer of Mobilization Labs, led the discussion of “where are we” and “what do we want to be.”  He asked the employees to be thinking about the core values of the company. Mobilization Labs is a strong Atlanta start-up, but the company is already concerned about maintaining its company culture.

Many people are familiar with Zappos.com. They are the largest online shoe store. While many people love their store and shopping experience, Zappos is somewhat of a poster child in the world of entrepreneurship and small businesses. In 1999 Zappos had little sales revenue. In 2009 they grossed over $1 Billion in sales and sold their company to Amazon. Their company culture is what business leaders and entrepreneurs admire more than sales growth. (more…)

Managing an Online Grassroots Movement

Friday, May 14th, 2010

You’re probably familiar with CRMs (Customer Relationship Management) solutions like Salesforce.com, Blackbaud Sphere, and even Convio.  These systems are great at storing contact info and great at managing a process like sales, but we’ve found they don’t really give nonprofit organizations the tools they need to:

1)Mobilize Supporters into Action
2)Manage their progress
3)Measure results in real time

The first problem we decided to tackle was the supporter database.  From our experience working with political campaigns and nonprofits, we realized that most organizations don’t need all of the features that bog down the leading CRM technologies and make them hard to use.  Another problem results from the chaos of supporter data across multiple lists and databases.  Add to that all of the new ways supporters expect to interact with your organization… like Facebook, Twitter, etc. and you’ve got a real problem with supporter lists becoming fragmented and difficult to manage.

So we set out to build what we call SRM (Supporter Relationship Management), which redefines how a nonprofit can manage large groups of volunteers and supporters as they’re peforming actions both online and offline.  We’ve built a technology called Wildfire Platform that aggregates and connects all of these databases and social sources into a single platform that you can access from anywhere.

With other solutions, they’ve added integration with social network as an afterthought.  The social web is fundamentally changing the way nonprofit organizations interact with supporters.  The Wildfire Platform was built from the ground up to harness the power of the social web.

We're Hiring Developers

Monday, January 18th, 2010

WeTheCitizens (soon to be Mobilization Labs) is looking for top-notch software engineers who want to help us build a cutting-edge social mobilization platform. You’ll be joining an energetic and dynamic team of engineers who follow agile development practices and love pushing the boundaries of technology.

Who are we looking for?

  • Smart developers who are excited to learn new technologies and face technical challenges.
  • Developers with strong foundations in computer science and software design.
  • People who want to work in an agile, team-based environment.
  • Our platform is built primarily on Java, so experience with Java web technologies is a must.
  • We use best-of-breed open source technologies, so experience with Spring, Hibernate, Terracotta, and/or PostgreSQL is a plus.
  • We’re always on the lookout for ways to increase productivity, so experience with Groovy, Scala or other languages is a plus.
  • Most of our developers use Mac or Linux and we deploy all of our code to Linux servers, so UNIX/Linux experience is a plus.

What would you be working on?

  • Writing server-side code for high-volume production web applications.
  • Working on Wildfire Platform’s core code, including back-end data management, REST APIs, and database optimization.
  • Building dynamic web interfaces and embeddable widgets using the latest web technologies like JQuery and AJAX.
  • Integrating with other platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, SMS gateways, credit card processors, and VOIP phone systems.

What do we do?

Since 2004, WeTheCitizens has been providing web software that pioneers an entirely new genre of technology called “social mobilization”. Social mobilization combines the viral power of social networking with real-world grassroots action to mobilize large teams of supporters into action on behalf of brands, causes, and political candidates. Our software has been used by presidential campaigns, Fortune 500 companies, international non-profits, major motion pictures, and multi-platinum artists to advance the passion of volunteers and fans worldwide.
