Before ONEsite, Schlissel was the President / CEO at Social Platform LLC from August 2005 to February 2008. In the pre-Facebook era, they observed the insufficient service corporate brands received from the social media platforms of the day. So, they created Social Platform where brands could create and customize social network experiences for their audiences. Eric wrote the initial version of the software and guided a development team to build out the finished product. Additionally, they worked hands-on with each client, from sales to specification to launch, and oversaw the launch of dozens of B2C and B2B social networks on the service. The site’s CPM/CPC/CPA campaigns were monitored and managed by himself for both Social Platform and its clients. Under their direction, they opened up a satellite office in Seattle and managed many remote contractors. Social Platform’s success was featured and cited in articles by the Globe & Mail, GigaOM, various social media blogs and a Gartner Group Report. Social Platform was acquired by ONE
