Project overview

The Obaying engagement connected the marketplace itself with the channels that created demand around it. Smartec built the multi-vendor commerce platform, established the social presence, produced recurring posts and vertical videos, and helped the business reach thousands of customers before the original operation was exited and later rebranded.

Challenge
A new multi-vendor marketplace had to earn trust from both sellers and shoppers, make a broad product catalog feel easy to explore, and build enough visibility across social channels to create sustained customer demand around an unfamiliar commerce brand.
Solution
Smartec combined the marketplace build with a repeatable growth system: WordPress, WooCommerce and Dokan powered the multi-vendor experience, while coordinated social pages, recurring creative and vertical video gave the brand a consistent way to reach and engage customers across multiple platforms.
01

Commerce and growth context

Build the marketplace and the audience around it as one connected system.

A multi-vendor platform has two simultaneous growth problems: sellers need a reliable place to publish and manage products, while shoppers need enough trust, relevance and repeated exposure to start buying. Obaying therefore needed the commerce experience and its social presence to reinforce each other rather than operate as separate projects.

02

One operating system from marketplace launch to social reach.

The work followed the same connected structure used throughout the Obaying engagement, joining platform delivery, content production and audience development into one repeatable system.

  1. 01

    Marketplace foundation

    Build the WordPress and WooCommerce commerce layer and configure Dokan so multiple vendors could operate inside one customer-facing marketplace.

  2. 02

    Social presence

    Establish and maintain Obaying pages across multiple social platforms so the marketplace had consistent branded touchpoints beyond the website.

  3. 03

    Content production

    Produce recurring social posts and campaign-ready creative that could present products, offers and marketplace activity in repeatable formats.

  4. 04

    Vertical video

    Create short vertical videos suited to modern social feeds and mobile discovery so product and brand stories could reach customers in motion-first formats.

  5. 05

    Audience growth

    Use the connected website and social system to expand awareness and help the business reach thousands of customers during its active growth period.

  6. 06

    Business transition

    Leave behind a coherent digital operation that continued through the business exit and was subsequently rebranded under its later identity.

03

Marketplace, content and social surfaces working together.

The case-study gallery follows the same media structure as PreMoove so the real Obaying website, social posts and vertical videos can be added progressively without changing the page architecture.
