Giant Thinkwell

Giant Thinkwell is creating a next-generation entertainment platform for celebrities to build, engage with, and have more fun with fans online. In a world dominated by social media and where the very notion of celebrity has become democratized, we noticed that fan engagement is not very special, not very social and definitely not as much fun as it should be. We also noticed a growing opportunity to deliver rich online experiences for all kinds of celebrities to engage with their Facebook fans, Twitter followers, and YouTube subscribers.

To get there, we’re reinventing standard celeb/fan modules like trivia games, photo galleries, polling, e-commerce, fan forums, and more. If the future of fan engagement is via Facebook fan pages, then Facebook Credits are an exciting new way for fans to gain access to exclusive content and engagement with the celebrities they love. That’s where we come in… Giant Thinkwell’s technology allows anyone with a fan following to easily customize a range different modules for improving their fans’ Facebook or online experience.
