The head of community and partnerships talks growth, change and connection
She’s the person who brings people together for an app that’s designed to bring people together — meaning that Meagan Allers is basically always thinking about community. The way it grows, contracts, changes and evolves, but how at its root it always comes back to one thing: the people in it.
On the second episode of Season 3, we sit down with Meagan to talk all things Marco Polo. She shares the way that user input drove the growth of the app, the impact on different user communities, and COVID’s impact on the app’s popularity. (It was an absolute lockdown lifeline.)
Meagan also talks about the beautiful and revolutionary culture of Marco Polo, including the company’s ethos of working joyfully, and how they make money when they don’t sell user data or charge mandatory subscription fees.
Plus, we discuss the three TV characters we’d love to have a Polo group with. (Dream dinners are out, dream Polos are in.) Naturally, one of the Roy siblings makes an appearance.
