A Word From Granicus Group

Most people don’t know this but before starting my career online, I worked for Visa at RBC and got to learn a lot about loyalty and affinity card programs. We are seeing the convergence of community, gamification and the monetization of engagement. Phaze happens to be at the intersection of all of that. I also appreciate entrepreneurs who go all in and Kyle’s journey demonstrates a win-at-all-costs commitment and perseverance required to survive and thrive.
