Quotes by Anna Redbond, Head of Marketing @ Flagsmith
About Flagsmith

What brought Flagsmith to Quira?
Flagsmith was looking to boost their visibility in the open source ecosystem. In particular, to bring more developers into their product's orbit. Flagsmith's Head of Marketing noticed the results of Quira's collaboration with Taipy and reached out to explore a similar collaboration.
“The validation from Taipy was very strong. It was an easy decision to partner up with Quira and run our own Creator Quest”
What did the quest look like?
Creator Quests are online challenges that reward developers for creating new GitHub repos that meet certain requirements.
In a Creator Quest, Quira designs a prompt that aligns the challenge towards the product or distribution goals of the partner organisation. Then, Quira sends personalised invitations to community members that might be particularly interested in a Quest's thematic. Developers react to the prompt by building new applications, creating new content, or contributing to specific open source repositories. Quira takes care of verifying & validating the responses and of orchestrating the distribution of the rewards.
What was the impact of the Quest?
Over 4,000 developers in Quira's community were introduced to Flagsmith as a direct result of the Quest. The collaboration yielded over 50 submissions. Additionally, the relevance to the community led to Flagsmith receiving 500+ GitHub stars from members of the Quira community who were matched to the Quest based on their skill sets and interests. During the Quest, Flagsmith trended on GitHub for Python. ✨
“We loved interacting with the developers in the Discord session. The turnout was huge (100+) and the devs were super engaged. The submissions to the Quest and their interest on GitHub was amazing to see - so much so that we trended on GitHub, which was an amazing outcome to us!”
Looking forward
"The work the Quira team carried out was great. Communication was excellent and well, it just works - and very smoothly!
We’re excited to partner together in the future, and we’ve already referred Quira to two partner orgs in the week since the Quest ended! For anyone thinking about boosting their open-source game, I’d say give Quira a shot. They've been a great partner for us.”
