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
- Built campaign tooling as first-class apps — content management and custom ad builders, not one-off creative scripts.
- Integrated social APIs directly — Facebook and Twitter for managing and distributing social media campaigns.
- 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.
