    We Heart It is a community of 40MM (8MM WAU) users worldwide. Users upload images and sort existing images on the platform into "collections" that appeal to them (i.e "Justin Bieber or Jewelry". As nearly all of the content on We Heart It is UGC, I was recruited by We Heart It to conceive of and manage all their original & editorial content. During my year there, I built a community of creators (40+) to generate content (this later became the model and foundation for The Hub (www.thehhub.com), improved their social presence (including building their YouTube following from 0 to 800k) and launched their most successful marketing campaign of all time: "Love Yourself".
