We wanted to make a place to record and highlight all our wonderful Community Superstars both past and present.
I’ve been recording and interviewing our Superstars since all the way back to Envato Notes (if you remember that site). Unfortunately with the passage of time Envato Notes has come and gone and we’ve lost some of our superstar write-ups. But hopefully we’ll be able to recover as many as we can and showcase them here.
If you are interested in joining the rank of Superstars (which also comes with an ultra rare badge) remember that Superstars a selected for being helpful, friendly and awesome members of our community. So get out there and be awesome
Congratulations to @Patchesoft who contributed this incredibly raw and honest article to Community.Envato this month. It’s so important that we have people starting conversations about topics like this as it reminds those going through the same thing they’re not alone.
Congratulations to @OlexandrIgnatov! You are our Community Superstar for May, 2016!
Olexandr recently posted a two hour walkthrough video tutorial detailing how he put together this incredible dubstep track:
It shows a fantastic trust in other creators to be revealing your secrets to success to the rest of the community, and this in-turn exemplifies the exact qualities we want in a community member: sharing value to help everyone grow.
You’ve done a fantastic job with this tutorial Olexandr and I think the rest of the community appreciates it.
Well done! You’re our Community Superstar!
Check out @OlexandrIgnatov’s tutorial below (It’s already got over 5,000 views!):
Congratulations to our three community superstars for the month of June! (I apologize this is a little late )
THEMECO
@THEMECO’s Kyle Wakefield took some time last month to address the fragile subject of review queues in an incredibly constructive and helpful way. The way this successful Author could share his experience and put things into perspective was eye opening and inspiring, and an example of exactly what makes our community special.
Congratulations Kyle.

Big time congratulations to this month’s Community Superstar @RedOctopus
@RedOctopus has been incredibly helpful by putting together some great resources for AudioJungle authors.
Here’s a few words from RedOctopus
I am an AJ composer known for percussive tracks and flexibility in creating other genres. I try to be an active local community member (I am the Warsaw meetups coordinator) and global as well focusing on networking, educating other authors about our complex industry and giving staff members feedback about potential improvements. Right now I’m in the process of creating AudioJungle Community Guide which collects the knowledge about various issues from our industry based on my experience, forum posts and other users feedback.
A big shout out to our July superstar winner @PurpleFog !
If you’ve spent anytime in our AudioJungle or Audio customer communities, you’ve probably noticed PurpleFog. He’s the one probably answering all the difficult questions on AdRev or ContentID
A big congratulations to our newest Community Superstar @themepunch
In their over 7 years of being an author, ThemePunch has provided highly-customizable and easy to use items not only for customers but for other authors as well, including their famous Revolution Slider.
But it’s not just for their great items that they’re our Superstar. ThemePunch really knows how to deliver quality support right here on the forums.
While the authors are certainly active on the forums, you may not realize that the vast majority of traffic coming into the forums is from customers. That means a lot of customers are looking at the forums for help on items they’ve purchased or looking for recommendations on what they should buy.
Using our handy saved search alert, authors like ThemePunch have been able to be alerted any time their items are mentioned on the forums and have been quick to offer support or direct the customer on how to get support. This looks great in customers eyes and builds confidence for subsequent searchers!
Here’s what ThemePunch had to say themselves:
We appreciate being selected “Community Superstar” a great time and our whole team at ThemePunch feels honoured!
We know many companies let community work take a back seat to the daily demands of running a business. For us the community around our plugins and the Envato Marketplaces in general plays a major role.
It became a vital part of our support jobs to show the community that we really care for them by being available if they have all kinds of questions.
