An experiment in crowd-sourcing
This blog references a tweet I sent out today (Feb. 10, 2010) asking for help on a crowd-sourcing experiment. Here’s the skinny:
I will open a voice and web meeting today at 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time as an experiment to “crowd-source” a brainstorming session. To attend this meeting, all you have to do is click this link:
https://www1.gotomeeting.com/join/710449008
You can use your computer microphone or call in at 312-878-0206 ( Access code: 710-449-008)
If you plan to attend, please link in at least five minutes early to assure your computer is on the Citrix meeting app.
Here is the purpose of this meeting:
- My client is a company that installs, services and maintains business voice and data systems in the Southeast U.S.
- The 30th anniversary of the company is April 1.
- The founder of the company is still active as CEO
- They do not currently have a high public profile. In fact, brand awareness is a very big problem.
- With a budget of $5,000 or less, what creative PR activities could mark this milestone anniversary?
Hope to see you at 4 … Trying something new — we’ll see what happens!
Mark

Comment Of The Week
From Paul Castain
"I’ve had this discussion many times and find myself feeling rather silly for referring to Social Media as being “spiritual”. But I too, stand by that description. The context I was using it in is the same as yours but I was driving at a different point. When we embrace social media and just spew information, we don’t interact and we shamelessly self promote, in many ways we are being disrespectful to the spirituality of the venue."[more]Welcome to {grow}

You’re in marketing for one reason: Grow. Grow your company, reputation, customers, impact, profits. Grow yourself. This is a community that will help. It will stretch your mind, connect you to fascinating people, and provide some fun along the way. I am so glad you’re here.

Shift this from experiment to experience now. This was a great idea, at least from the perspective of a contributor. Being on a brainstorming call w/ people from Spain, PA, TN and elsewhere to help come up with ideas for your client was great. Thx for the open invitation.
