The best way to GROW and REDEEM your influence. Welcome to the most powerful social media and content exposure tool ever created. Grow your followers, get your content in front of more eyes, become an influencer and MORE! GeoCrown is a rewards-based social media that uses locations to drive exposure, engagement and influence towards our users. We have split the world up into separate locations (we call these Kingdoms) where users build communities around their content. Users vote for photos at each of these locations to determine who has the best picture at that location. The person with the most votes becomes the cover photo of that location, shown off to everyone in and around that location, up to 250km away! GeoCrown was created by social media users who struggled to build their audience. It didn’t matter how great our posts were, these social media platforms were never created with exposing our posts in mind. That’s why we decided to build our own where we built easy methods of gaining exposure across the globe. Capture - Conquer - Become. Capture: Go head-to-head with other users to see who has the best photo at that location. Let your pictures do the talking, with the most powerful exposure tools built into our app to attract more eyes to your posts Conquer: If your photo is voted as the best at that location, everyone in and around that location will see you and your work! Become: Become more than your current social media allows you to. By conquering more points, you become more influential! Your name becomes a BRAND. GeoCrown is a platform that also makes it hugely beneficial for brands and users to interact. Want to use your influence to win prizes or work with your favourite brands? Not only do you get rewarded for your interaction with brands but you also grow your influence in the process. We’ve made sure that our users and brand partners benefit more when they interact more.
