# Use Cases 🫶

Shimmy creates multiple innovative use cases for individual and community social media of value. Through the structure of the design, the clear cut interest and subject matter and the user controls and permissions, we deliver a purposeful, productive and impactful experience. 

Create a Shimmy to set out on and hold yourself accountable to a specific challenge, post your sports teams content updates, keep your audience updated, raise awareness and investment for a cause close to your heart. Whatever you do with Shimmy, you can be confident that you have control, and the platform is built to support you and what you are doing.
