Digital 180, Compete’s online “TV” series, recently caught up with Aboud Yaqub, the VP of Web Strategy of Upromise. Launched in April 2001, today Upromise is a major, private source of college funding contributions in America, with over 10 million members and nearly $500 million in member rewards.

If you are looking for tips and tricks to build and engage an online community Aboud’s insights are a “must see”:

  1. The role of social media in building a loyal online community
  2. A recent example using Facebook to build engagement with the brand
  3. How to measure success using social media
