Kicking off the Year with Momentum: Viafoura Goes Live on 22 iONE Digital Sites
As a new year begins, there’s nothing better than celebrating a major launch.
We’re proud to share that Viafoura is now live across 22 sites in the iONE Digital network, powering community engagement, conversations, and real-time connection across one of the most influential digital media portfolios in the United States.
iONE Digital is home to brands that reflect and amplify the voices, culture, and perspectives of the African-American experience. This launch marks a significant step forward in how those audiences connect, participate, and engage online.
At its core, this partnership is about more than technology: it’s about creating space for meaningful conversation.
iONE Digital set out to:
- Increase registrations from anonymous visitors
- Build stronger, more engaged communities
- Scale safely with robust moderation tools
- Unlock richer audience data to inform strategy and growth
After reviewing multiple solutions, Viafoura stood out for its ability to turn passive readers into active participants without compromising safety, performance, or editorial integrity.
Rolling out a community platform across 22 sites is no small feat, especially within a highly customized WordPress ecosystem. Through close collaboration, Viafoura’s project management and technical teams worked with iONE’s Product and Development teams to ensure a smooth, seamless launch.
Across its network, iONE is leveraging modern conversations, AMAs, and personalized content recommendations to encourage participation and foster deeper engagement. Automated moderation, along with alerts, notifications, and follows, enables the team to scale safely while keeping audiences coming back, and analytics provide the insight needed to understand what their communities care about most.
The result? Longer sessions, deeper interaction, and stronger community signals, all while expanding monetization opportunities in a non-intrusive way. Viafoura is thrilled to partner with iONE Digital as they continue to elevate voices, spark conversation, and build spaces where audiences don’t just consume content, they shape it.
Here’s to starting 2026 with community at the center. 🚀
