Case Study

ShopIgniter

Interactive Engineer building CMS and ad-building apps with Facebook and Twitter APIs, plus Flash and HTML5 interactive ads.

The Challenge

At ShopIgniter I built interactive campaign tooling that connected content, creative, and social distribution — content management and custom ad-building applications, Facebook and Twitter API integrations for campaign management, and Flash and HTML5 interactive ads that design and engineering could iterate on together.

Constraints

  • Close collaboration between engineering and design on CMS and ad-builder workflows.
  • Social campaign management dependent on Facebook and Twitter API integrations.
  • Dual creative runtimes — Flash and HTML5 — for interactive advertising experiences.

Contributions

  1. Built campaign tooling as first-class apps — content management and custom ad builders, not one-off creative scripts.
  2. Integrated social APIs directly — Facebook and Twitter for managing and distributing social media campaigns.
  3. Shipped interactive ads in Flash and HTML5 — covering the creative formats campaigns needed during the transition era of web advertising.

Outcomes

I shipped CMS and ad-building applications with social API integrations, plus interactive Flash and HTML5 ad creative in partnership with design and engineering.
