Development Expertise

Twitter, a leading social media platform known for open conversations and user engagement, faced a unique challenge. They wanted to provide a Twitter-like experience for large exclusive events, giving attendees the freedom to express themselves without compromising their privacy.

To achieve this goal, Twitter collaborated with Azumo, a software development services company, to build a user-friendly, customizable mobile-first solution that could be confidently marketed to their advertisers and easily scaled for concurrent deployment at multiple branded events.

Twitter is one of the largest social media platform globally. The company’s mission is to give everyone the power to create and share content instantly, without barriers, allowing anyone to connect in-the-moment with friends, other fascinating people and organizations around the world.

Azumo helped my team with the rapid development of a standalone app at Twitter and were incredibly thorough and detail oriented, resulting in a very solid product.

The Challenge

Twitter's largest advertisers sought to create exclusive events where attendees could interact in a Twitter-like environment without broadcasting tweets on the open platform. This posed several challenges:

  1. Exclusive Event Experience: Twitter needed a solution that could offer the same interactive and conversational experience as Twitter, but in a closed and exclusive setting for large events.
  2. Customizable and Scalable Solution: The application had to be highly customizable to fit various branded events' themes and requirements. Additionally, Twitter envisioned deploying the solution globally without the need for on-site technical assistance at each event.

The Solution

Azumo's expertise in mobile app development and scalability enabled them to deliver a highly reliable and customizable Twitter Studio application for iOS.

Freedom to Express

The new Twitter Studio application allowed users to tweet their choice of still photos, montages, GIFs, or videos with additional content. Attendees had the freedom to express themselves without any constraints while enjoying a private and exclusive event experience.

Seamless Global Deployment

Twitter's team can confidently deploy the application globally without requiring on-site technical help at each event. The application's robust foundation ensures smooth functionality and performance across various event locations.

Branded Experience with Core Twitter Features

The newly built application gave users access to many of the core Twitter platform features within a highly branded environment. Users could quickly get verified and interact with the application seamlessly, enhancing their overall experience.

Integration of Private Features

Azumo integrated several private features available only to Twitter apps, enhancing the native experience for Twitter Studio users. This integration added unique value to the application and contributed to its success.
