“Thank you for your interest in Impact Interactions. We are in business to make your
project and team succeed using the best practices we’ve developed over the past ten
years in social media and online community management.

The team that you will work with hasn’t just read about social media, or used Twitter to
become social media celebrities, or worked solely as part time moderators or chat
hosts; instead they’ve been busy helping some of the largest brands in the world realize
measurable results using social media and online communities. Our team has practical
real world experience which will help your project exceed its objectives.

Impact Interactions is ready to be your trusted advisor and partner in the evolving social
media world. After your review of this introduction, please give me a call to discuss how
we can help you join the list of our successful clients.”

Mike Rowland, President

At Impact Interactions, we know that the success or failure of your site is directly
impacted by how your moderation team is able to balance the needs of your
organization with the needs of your members. Our team has over 25 years of combined
experience in helping large organizations get significant results with their online
communities and social networks. The management processes we bring to our
engagements will help you avoid the mistakes common to many new online
communities and social networks. We are pleased to share our moderation and
management qualifications with you as you consider hiring an outsourced provider.

Our Approach to Moderation:

Moderation activities must balance the results the client desires with the needs of the
members. We do not adhere to the idea that control is transferred to the members.
Rather, our moderation teams facilitate meaningful exchanges between members and
with our clients. To accomplish this balance, our facilitation experience encourages
activity and model behaviors without using a heavy handed approach. We utilize the
existing software administrative functionality wherever possible to manage our clients’
sites but have the capability to build administrative consoles if needed.

To facilitate the growth and results of the online community for our clients, Impact
Interactions provides a trained community management team to moderate and report on
the site’s progress. Community moderation prevents unwanted spam, offensive content,
and copyrighted materials from remaining in the online community. But more than that,
community managers facilitate interactions and act as a first line of customer support for
visitors and members who need help using the site.

We use a centralized moderation approach rather than a group of part time virtual
moderators working from home. By developing a trained professional team that is
engaged with your efforts, we deliver superior results to our clients that virtual teams
cannot match.

We don’t sell software. We use the software that your team has chosen and use it to
facilitate results for you. If you haven’t selected software, we can help guide you through
the process of finding the software which will perform the best for your particular needs.

Lastly, we also believe that moderation doesn’t work in a vacuum. We encourage a
collaborative relationship with our clients and maintain open lines of communication at
all times. Part of this communication includes reporting on our activities and may include
the activities of your members through our monthly insight reports. These reports utilize
both metrics and qualitative insights coupled with our experience based experience to
give our clients a full view of their efforts online.

Our Moderation Experience:




                 Cisco Communities – We are currently moderating over 15 communities
                 for Cisco. This includes the CSC NetPro community, one of the top
                 destinations on the internet for system architects and network engineers.
                 Working collaboratively with our team at Cisco, the entire online
                 community process was created to launch and manage this community of
                 over 300,000 members. Additional community activities for Cisco include
                 moderating Partner Central Community for certified partners, SMB
                 Support Community, Collaboration Products Community, Service
                 Providers Community, CSC Hall of Fame Program, CSC All-Star Awards
                 Program, and the project management of NetPro Poland and NetPro
                 Japan( native language communities in Polish and Japanese).




                 Disney Parks – Working with The SuperGroup agency our teams
                 successfully moderated the My Magical Disney Vacation promotion. This
                 interactive project allowed visitors to the site to upload their photos in
                 order to edit a “face” headshot for up to five people. These faces were
                 then uploaded to a Disney flash video based upon the user’s responses to
                 four questions about vacation likes and dislikes. Once selected, the video
                 used the faces to show the user’s friends/family enjoying a selected
                 vacation at a Disney Theme Park. Upon completion of the video, the user
                 was able to upload the video to his/her Facebook/MySpace page, place a
                 link on Twitter, embed the video (similar to YouTube) on their own web
                 page, or email the link to a friend. Our work required us to review each
                 face for copyright, terms of service violations, and compliance with the
                 project’s goals.

NetApp – Our consulting team has delivered online moderation and
                 facilitation training services to the NetApp internal SMEs and community
                 team. With a focus on the business-to-business (B2B) and developer
                 community best practices developed by Impact Interactions, we moved
                 the team away from using many of the business to consumer (B2C)
                 community processes and techniques which were limiting the success of
                 their community efforts.




                 AARP – We moderated the AARP social network and online community
                 for over four years using multiple platforms (Prospero, Bolt, Pluck). We
                 moderated the AARP community between the hours of 9:00 am to 12:00
                 am Monday through Friday, with additional moderation service on
                 weekends. Our moderators reviewed groups, videos, photos, blogs,
                 profiles, and acted as the first level of customer support for all members of
                 the network for this large community. The team handled all community
                 related emails sent to AARP. During 2008 and 2009, we moderated the
                 AARP Money Channel Community, a pilot focused upon personal finance
                 for members.




                 SAP AG – SAP selected Impact Interactions as its community project
                 manager due to our extensive knowledge of online communities. With our
                 assistance, SAP launched an updated online community which gave its
                 members the ability to personalize the content, interactions, and contact
                 levels from SAP. Specific moderation work included the training and
                 mentoring of in-house moderation teams across the globe in local native
                 languages for communities launched in more than 18 countries. Prior
                 moderation experience with SAP included global online events (live chats
                 with webcasts over a twenty four hour period), moderation of the global
                 business community, and insight reporting. SAP is currently a consulting
                 client with our work centered in analytics and partner communities.

Intel Software Network – We developed a loyalty program to reward and
                 recognize community leaders in this software developer community.
                 Working closely with the existing community team, we taught Intel
                 techniques in moderation and facilitation to draw out key members of the
                 community to build additional discussions and relevant content. Our work
                 also encompassed building out business requirements for Intel’s
                 community platform vendor to accomplish the feature build out necessary
                 for success.




                 ATT WorldNet Services – Our experience in moderating ATT’s
                 Community Port helped increase the retention rates of their dial up
                 subscribers. By moderating and facilitating conversations on message
                 boards, helping members to build personal web pages, hosting celebrity
                 chats, and maintaining clean discussions in chat rooms, Community Port’s
                 membership grew over 250% in its first year. (Former client at Participate
                 Systems)




                 SoapCity (Sony Pictures Digital Entertainment) – Our experience in
                 offering interactive features such as viewing games (while shows were
                 televised), unique online community games and contests using fan
                 favorites following a Survivor theme, and basic message boards built
                 repeat visitor levels in excess of 20% on a daily basis (20% of all weekly
                 visitors came back to the site at least daily). (Former client at Participate
                 Systems)

                 Dawson’s Creek (Sony Pictures Digital Entertainment) – Our
                 experience in managing chats and message boards dedicated to the fans
                 of the television show, helped SPDE promote the show and to develop
                 fan interest across the younger audience members devoted to the show
                 and its characters. (Former client at Participate Systems)

Cabelas.com – Cabela’s is the premier outfitter for serious outdoor
                 activities. With a large online retail operation to compliment their retail
                 store strategy, Cabela’s required a more interactive web site to build
                 repeat visits and drive additional commerce activities. To accomplish this
                 goal, an online community featuring message boards, photo boards,
                 games, trophy rooms, and online contests was created. In addition to
                 helping with technology selection, all processes for managing the
                 community and reporting on its results were developed. The moderation
                 for this site was strict due to the potential for controversy in showing
                 animals killed for sport. (Former client at Participate Systems)

Staffing For Client Projects:

Impact Interactions works with its clients to provide a level of service unmatched by our
competitors who utilize virtual moderation teams composed of college students and part
time independent contractors. Our moderation center in Maryland houses our staff of
fully trained employees who are ready to help you with your communities. Each of our
moderators is fully trained in your software’s admin capabilities, facilitating
conversations online, copyright issues, and techniques to manage flame wars and
unruly behavior online.

To handle our client’s needs, Impact Interactions will staff the project with a client
manager who acts as your day to day contact. The client manager will supervise the
team of moderators assigned to your community or communities.

For clients requiring 24/7/365 moderation, we utilize our partners in Europe and India.
The team members assigned successfully completed our training classes on
moderation. Currently our partners assist us with European assignments and local (non-
English) language moderation clients. By using a “Follow the Sun” approach to
moderation, high activity communities can be moderated in a unified, cost-efficient
manner for our clients.

Contract Duration, Service Level Agreements, and Terms

Impact Interactions prefers to enter into annual contracts with our clients for ongoing
community moderation services. In cases where the project is a campaign running for
less than a full year, we will enter into project specific contracts. To ensure that we meet
our client’s expectations, we will negotiate acceptable Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
that cover our work.

We invoice our clients monthly for our work. Our terms are net 30 days from date of
invoice.

  • 2. “Thank you for your interest in Impact Interactions. We are in business to make your project and team succeed using the best practices we’ve developed over the past ten years in social media and online community management. The team that you will work with hasn’t just read about social media, or used Twitter to become social media celebrities, or worked solely as part time moderators or chat hosts; instead they’ve been busy helping some of the largest brands in the world realize measurable results using social media and online communities. Our team has practical real world experience which will help your project exceed its objectives. Impact Interactions is ready to be your trusted advisor and partner in the evolving social media world. After your review of this introduction, please give me a call to discuss how we can help you join the list of our successful clients.” Mike Rowland, President (410) 604-3304 ©2010 JTS Online Holdings Inc. dba Impact Interactions.

  • 3. At Impact Interactions, we know that the success or failure of your site is directly impacted by how your moderation team is able to balance the needs of your organization with the needs of your members. Our team has over 25 years of combined experience in helping large organizations get significant results with their online communities and social networks. The management processes we bring to our engagements will help you avoid the mistakes common to many new online communities and social networks. We are pleased to share our moderation and management qualifications with you as you consider hiring an outsourced provider. Our Approach to Moderation: Moderation activities must balance the results the client desires with the needs of the members. We do not adhere to the idea that control is transferred to the members. Rather, our moderation teams facilitate meaningful exchanges between members and with our clients. To accomplish this balance, our facilitation experience encourages activity and model behaviors without using a heavy handed approach. We utilize the existing software administrative functionality wherever possible to manage our clients’ sites but have the capability to build administrative consoles if needed. To facilitate the growth and results of the online community for our clients, Impact Interactions provides a trained community management team to moderate and report on the site’s progress. Community moderation prevents unwanted spam, offensive content, and copyrighted materials from remaining in the online community. But more than that, community managers facilitate interactions and act as a first line of customer support for visitors and members who need help using the site. We use a centralized moderation approach rather than a group of part time virtual moderators working from home. By developing a trained professional team that is engaged with your efforts, we deliver superior results to our clients that virtual teams cannot match. We don’t sell software. We use the software that your team has chosen and use it to facilitate results for you.

  • 5. Our Moderation Experience: Cisco Communities – We are currently moderating over 15 communities for Cisco. This includes the CSC NetPro community, one of the top destinations on the internet for system architects and network engineers. Working collaboratively with our team at Cisco, the entire online community process was created to launch and manage this community of over 300,000 members. Additional community activities for Cisco include moderating Partner Central Community for certified partners, SMB Support Community, Collaboration Products Community, Service Providers Community, CSC Hall of Fame Program, CSC All-Star Awards Program, and the project management of NetPro Poland and NetPro Japan( native language communities in Polish and Japanese). Disney Parks – Working with The SuperGroup agency our teams successfully moderated the My Magical Disney Vacation promotion. This interactive project allowed visitors to the site to upload their photos in order to edit a “face” headshot for up to five people. These faces were then uploaded to a Disney flash video based upon the user’s responses to four questions about vacation likes and dislikes. Once selected, the video used the faces to show the user’s friends/family enjoying a selected vacation at a Disney Theme Park. Upon completion of the video, the user was able to upload the video to his/her Facebook/MySpace page, place a link on Twitter, embed the video (similar to YouTube) on their own web page, or email the link to a friend. Our work required us to review each face for copyright, terms of service violations, and compliance with the project’s goals. ©2010 JTS Online Holdings Inc. dba Impact Interactions. CONFIDENTIAL.

  • 6. NetApp – Our consulting team has delivered online moderation and facilitation training services to the NetApp internal SMEs and community team. With a focus on the business-to-business (B2B) and developer community best practices developed by Impact Interactions, we moved the team away from using many of the business to consumer (B2C) community processes and techniques which were limiting the success of their community efforts. AARP – We moderated the AARP social network and online community for over four years using multiple platforms (Prospero, Bolt, Pluck). We moderated the AARP community between the hours of 9:00 am to 12:00 am Monday through Friday, with additional moderation service on weekends. Our moderators reviewed groups, videos, photos, blogs, profiles, and acted as the first level of customer support for all members of the network for this large community. The team handled all community related emails sent to AARP. During 2008 and 2009, we moderated the AARP Money Channel Community, a pilot focused upon personal finance for members. SAP AG – SAP selected Impact Interactions as its community project manager due to our extensive knowledge of online communities. With our assistance, SAP launched an updated online community which gave its members the ability to personalize the content, interactions, and contact levels from SAP. Specific moderation work included the training and mentoring of in-house moderation teams across the globe in local native languages for communities launched in more than 18 countries. Prior moderation experience with SAP included global online events (live chats with webcasts over a twenty four hour period), moderation of the global business community, and insight reporting.

  • 7. Intel Software Network – We developed a loyalty program to reward and recognize community leaders in this software developer community.

Our work also encompassed building out business requirements for Intel’s community platform vendor to accomplish the feature build out necessary for success. ATT WorldNet Services – Our experience in moderating ATT’s Community Port helped increase the retention rates of their dial up subscribers.

  • 8. Cabelas.com – Cabela’s is the premier outfitter for serious outdoor activities. With a large online retail operation to compliment their retail store strategy, Cabela’s required a more interactive web site to build repeat visits and drive additional commerce activities. To accomplish this goal, an online community featuring message boards, photo boards, games, trophy rooms, and online contests was created. In addition to helping with technology selection, all processes for managing the community and reporting on its results were developed. The moderation for this site was strict due to the potential for controversy in showing animals killed for sport.

Our moderation center in Maryland houses our staff of fully trained employees who are ready to help you with your communities. Each of our moderators is fully trained in your software’s admin capabilities, facilitating conversations online, copyright issues, and techniques to manage flame wars and unruly behavior online.

The client manager will supervise the team of moderators assigned to your community or communities. For clients requiring 24/7/365 moderation, we utilize our partners in Europe and India. The team members assigned successfully completed our training classes on moderation. Currently our partners assist us with European assignments and local (non- English) language moderation clients. By using a “Follow the Sun” approach to moderation, high activity communities can be moderated in a unified, cost-efficient manner for our clients. Contract Duration, Service Level Agreements, and Terms Impact Interactions prefers to enter into annual contracts with our clients for ongoing community moderation services.
