Ventures

Socient's primary mission is to create online businesses that tackles some of the challenges we see in our community. The following is a list of our online businesses with their particular mission:

Mission: To promote safety in the highways and in our streets

Approach: By providing an affordable and simple web-based driver feedback, we take pricing and affordability out of the equation. This business targets small to medium sized company with fleet vehicles (i.e. non-medical transport companies, courier services, etc.) as well as parents of teen drivers.

Mission: To provide a reliable website content management system with e-commerce and e-mail marketing

Approach: By partnering with web technology leader Adobe with their technology platform, we've created a brand with a zing and one that we could call our own.

Mission: To inspire and promote the creativity of the local community through arts and culture.

Approach: The first of its kind in California and one of the pioneers of hyperlocal social network in the arts industry, we customized the Ning platform to provide a rich experience while diligently monitoring the network's daily activity.

Mission: To assist local job seekers and potential "boomerangs" in gaining employment

Approach: This brand consistently tops search engine rankings on keywords: fresno jobs. With the use of the Ning platform, Fresnojobs still maintains its lead on search engine positioning. A redesign into the Controlcamp platform is underway as well as potential partnership with local jobs initiative.

Mission: To engage the public in issues concerning our environment through social network

Approach: We partnered with a leading sustainability expert in Tom Cotter to co-found a local online community of individuals who are passionate about sustainable living and protecting our environment.

Under Development

Some of our projects are currently under development and/or testing. Here are the products that are on our pipeline:

Mission: To gather best practices and tools about internet marketing; then configure it to work for community benefit organizations.

Abstract/Plan: It is very well known that internet marketers know how to make money online (the good ones at least). And community benefit organizations (CBO) do not have much training and resource to focus on strategies and tactics employed by internet marketers (IM).

Trendsdotcom.com would like to address this gap by providing the tools and resources that IMs use so that CBOs would know how to communicate their community impact.

Mission: To promote employers on the local level through partnerships with local Chambers

Abstract/Plan: TopRegionalJobs.com is the nationwide network of hyperlocal niche job boards that targets the cities currently not served by the major job boards. The plan is to partner with each local business chambers and provide a revenue producing recruitment advertising platform that they could offer to their membership base.

Mission: To allow identification of passions based on a journal of self-described identities

Abstract/Plan: We love twitter's real time technology and simplicity. We've also seen technologies such as Personas. We would like to create a platform that combines both approaches.

We believe that success will only come through helping others succeed.
