Announcing new community badges!

[ErickPandora]

Since the launch of the Pandora community, all of our members have done a fantastic job of interacting with and adding to our community of music lovers and Pandora subscribers, which is constantly expanding.

We decided to create a brand-new set of gamification badges to reward our most devoted music fans as we start a new year with fresh music and podcasts to connect with.

I sincerely hope you all enjoy the new badges, and I also love that since their construction, we've given out almost ~1,747,112 new badges!

Congratulations to everyone who now owns a badge; your accomplishments have been recognized!

I am new to this what does badges mean?

[Hartless623]

They don’t really mean anything as far as I know - they’re awarded based on different achievements within Pandora. A way to show off how dedicated you are to the app 😜 There’s badges for number of hours listening to music, podcasts, and for how long you’ve been a subscriber.

Can we get more badges for the free Pandora Radio listeners? 

[karasmeme]

Are there any benefits to collecting badges, ie: free premium subscription, etc?  If not, what is the point?

[SansVarnic]

This is a cool idea.

Thanks for the intro of the badges! 

@karasmeme Typically badges display your accomplishments and milestones. I have badges in other apps that I use but there usually isn’t anything free associated with it that I’ve noticed. This is a good idea though, the more you participate and helpful you are on community, maybe some free Premium time could be given.

@Troy17 @Hartless623 @copaswilliam69 @karasmeme @SansVarnic As @kiwiJUICE so eloquently said above, badges are a way of displaying your accomplishments and milestones not only within the Pandora product (100 Listening Hours badge) BUT ALSO within here, the Pandora Community (Posting, receiving likes, receiving accepted solutions, etc). 

@kiwiJUICE @karasmeme That's a great idea! I'll be on the lookout for those who are the most engaged on here to figure out a good structure for a program to give out some perks like free premium for X period of time. Great idea for me to think through. Thanks for sharing.

It's a fun way to gamify your community experience. I hope I start to see some new faces on the leaderboards on the community homepage!
