A strong community doesn’t only live during meet-ups or on paper — it lives every day, digitally.
With a well-chosen community app, members, residents, or employees can easily find each other, share knowledge, and feel involved in what’s happening.
At Unity Agency, we help organizations choose, set up, and activate community platforms and apps that truly work — with the user at the center, not the technology.
A community app forms the digital heart of your community.
It’s the place where people meet, ask questions, share ideas, and stay informed.
For many organizations, it is the connecting link between online and offline community activities.
A well-designed app provides:
The success of a community app starts with making the right choices. Not every platform fits every target group.
That’s why we support you step by step — from needs research to implementation and activation.
Target group analysis and needs research
We map out the wishes and digital behavior of your community. How digitally skilled are members? What motivates them to use an app?
👉 Community target group analysis
Strategy and positioning
Together, we define the role of the app within the broader community strategy. Is it a place for knowledge sharing, participation, or social interaction?
👉 Community concept and strategy development
Ambassadors and key users
Every digital community needs early adopters. We help identify and train ambassadors who bring others along in using the app.
👉 Community ambassador program
Content and communication
The best apps succeed or fail based on strong content. We develop formats, sections, and campaigns that activate users and bring the community to life.
👉 Community communication
Technical platform selection
Together, we select the platform that fits your organization and target group — from closed apps to open social platforms.
👉 Community platform selection and technology
Linking events to the app
Offline and online reinforce each other. We integrate events, registrations, and aftermovies into the app so participants stay connected.
👉 Community events
Bringing stakeholders along
We ensure all partners — from the communications department to IT — are involved in the launch.
👉 Community stakeholder and partner management
Long-term support and optimization
After go-live, we stay involved. We monitor usage, analyze data, and help the community continue to grow.
👉 Community support and consulting
Not the technology, but the user experience determines success.
We focus on:
The goal is not to have an app — but to have a platform that people like coming back to.
For a residents’ organization, we supported the launch of a community app where residents could share ideas and vote on neighborhood initiatives.
Within three months, more than 60% of households were active in the app.
The result: more engagement, fewer complaints, and a community that maintains itself.
A community app is not an end goal, but a tool to strengthen human connection.
Digital tools are there to facilitate behavior, not to force it.
The best apps support what already exists offline — and make it sustainably visible and measurable.
We believe every organization can build a digital community that works, as long as strategy and technology are balanced.
