Story-Telling: To Crowdsource or Not to Crowdsource #SMTLive

description

More and more companies are using creative crowdsourcing every day thanks to social media channels like Twitter and Facebook, and online crowdsourcing platforms. We’re all familiar with the commercials and ads made for the Superbowl with crowdsourcing. The got milk? campaign was refreshed with the help of crowdsourcing through Zoopa. GoPro is a company known for its versatile cameras. It asks users to share their photos and videos on their website. Then they pick a new photo and video every day and share them across their social media channels. These brands are whatever their customers say about them. And a great story about your brand by a consumer is a powerful thing. Part of every marketing strategy is storytelling. It's how companies tug on the heartstrings of their customers and build a loyal following. So why not invite customers to share how your brand is a part of their lives? Or should brands be doing all the storytelling themselves? Is crowdsourcing your brand's story a good idea? Join our panelists and us on this webinar as we look at case studies of the brands we mentioned above that use creative crowdsourcing. Through these brands’ examples, we’ll explore: -The risks and benefits of crowdsourcing. -What are the best practices in crowdsourcing. -Preparing for the deluge of crowdsourced ideas. -Knowing which crowdsourced stories are worth sharing. -Crowdsourcing through social channels and online crowdsourcing platforms.

Recently, Pando Daily wrote about how writers can use technology in exciting new ways:

“How can the technological advantages offered by the web help create content that couldn’t exist in any other medium? ”Is it possible to create articles that respond to a reader’s expertise level on a subject?”

And Pando wrote about the growing need to change the publishing business model. The need for quality content to win out over quantity:

“There’s a promising trend in journalism sites chasing quality over clicks, hoping that by getting audiences to really engage and pay attention to your content (instead of just blindly clicking and sharing) that they’ll also be more engaged with the advertising on the site which pays the bills.”

Background

Page 12: 4.8.14

We don’t ever know how any piece of content will resonate with an audience. Most content creators just

hope they will garner some kind of audience when they create content.

The Truth

Page 13: 4.8.14

engagement drives tangible ROI, readership, brand loyalty and evangelism.

What We Know though is…

... that when a piece of content does connect …

Page 14: 4.8.14

When we read something that peeks our interest or arouses our emotion, we’re more likely to enjoy it, and

pass it along.

Making The Connection

For a piece of content to resonate with an audience,It has to speak to them.
