AGF, a leading platform in the education and finance space, is dedicated to helping investors make informed decisions. Their platform provides valuable insights and strategies, but they faced a critical challenge—keeping users engaged. While their educational content was strong, they needed a way to build a more interactive and connected community.
<sprscript-green>The Challenge<sprscript-green>
Boosting engagement and retention
AGF’s biggest hurdle was user retention. Investors came to the platform for insights, but without a strong social component, engagement dropped over time. They recognized that building a community was essential not only for keeping users active but also for fostering better investment habits. Another key priority was gathering first-party data to understand their users better and tailor their offerings accordingly. At the time, AGF relied on a Slack-based community, but it lacked the structure and flexibility needed to scale effectively.
<sprscript-green>Why Social+<sprscript-green>
Creating a seamless community experience
When evaluating solutions, AGF looked for a way to integrate social features directly into their platform. They needed something flexible that would allow them to transition from Slack while offering a more engaging experience. Social+ stood out because it provided exactly that—the ability to embed community features natively, giving AGF full control over user interactions without requiring extensive development work.

Seamless integration with immediate impact
AGF started by integrating chat functionality, allowing users to interact in real time. From there, they introduced group and community chats, creating spaces for users to discuss strategies, share insights, and support each other. The integration process was smooth, requiring minimal customization while still aligning with AGF’s specific needs. Almost immediately, they saw an increase in conversations and participation, proving that users were eager for more interactive experiences.

A thriving community with higher engagement
Since launching their community features, AGF has seen impressive results. Monthly active users have doubled, and engagement levels continue to climb. The shift to a more interactive model reinforced the importance of a community-driven approach. Encouraged by this success, AGF is now expanding their offerings by introducing community feeds and topic-specific groups, ensuring users have even more ways to connect and engage.

Expanding the social experience
Looking ahead, AGF is focused on strengthening its community features. Their next major step is launching a community newsfeed, designed to enhance the existing chat experience and provide a more unified, dynamic platform for users. By continuously evolving their social offerings, AGF aims to create a seamless and engaging experience that keeps investors coming back.
