In this episode, we speak with David Markovich, founder and CEO of “Online Geniuses”, one of the largest Slack communities, on the milestones and lessons towards reaching 15,000+ members and how he wants to reach 2 million sent messages. Podcast Transcription Speaker 1: State of Digital Publishing is creating a new publication, and community for digital publishing and media professionals in new media and technology. In this episode, we speak with David Markovich, founder, and CEO of Online Geniuses. David is a product, and back builder with a marketing background as a direct consultant for some of the largest brands, including Google, Comedy Central, and many more. Let’s begin. Vahe Arabian: Hi, David. How are you? David Markovich: I’m good. Thanks for having me. I’m honored to be on your podcast. Vahe Arabian: I appreciate your time, David. But we spoke in the past and you’ve given me some fantastic insights around building your online community, and it’s great to disseminate this to everyone else. Thanks for joining us. To start off with, can you tell us the basic details, for those who know little about OJ? David Markovich: Yeah, sure. Online Geniuses is essentially the social network for digital marketers. The network is relevant because marketing continuously evolves, with different trends happening, tools, and strategies popping. So, if you wanna stay in the loop, it’s fairly hard to discover where the industry is going, on your own. So, I think with a group of people you’re able to communicate and learn from others, especially in different countries and different cities around the globe. Online Geniuses helps you see what other people are using, and build relationships. It’s a vetted community, which has around 16,000 members that were vetted, manually. The quality of our network is high and the engagement is remarkable. Probably, when this podcast goes live there’ll be two million messages sent within the community. Vahe Arabian: It’s awesome. That’s a good answer. I believe you’re on Slack only. Am I correct? David Markovich: Yeah, we’re based on Slack, but we do a lot of things in person. We organise breakfasts, dinners, drinks, meet-ups, and so on, which help people interact face to face. Vahe Arabian: How important do you think offline communication is to community engagement? David Markovich: So, it’s very important to humanize the community, right? A lot of times when there‘re thousands of people communicating, we kinda forget that these persons have their own lives and stories. I think such issues are bound to happen, but the community gets stronger, when you meet in person, and you’re like, “Oh, you’re the individua
