is a mix of researchers, planners, brand strategistsand social media experts based in London

we are part of the international research network

who we are

we use co-creativity to enable brands to interact directly withconsumers on and offline in real time in the UK and

internationally to deliver a range of insight, innovation andcommunication objectives

what we do

observation/immersion

trend spotting

Idea generation

validation/testing

brand insight

brand positioning

new product development

activation

insight community

social media strategy

idea generation community

trends community

co-creation community

but is it reallyall about

bottom-up andcrowd engagement?

“only works with a simple and well-defined brand”

“I don’t want 1000 ideas, I want one really good one”

“you won’t get a collaborative process”

“you need to have arguments”

“crowd-sourcing doesn’t lend itself to the big idea”

“no access to strategy or insight”

“all you get is a bunch of one-off ads”

some reactions...

let’s take a stepback

+bottom-up richness+global crowd+diversified crowd+wider range of talent+cost-effective+lots of ideas+rich insight+consumer-brand relationship+peer-rating+buzz

what you get

what’s missing

-it’s many-to-one-not very targeted-it’s bottom-up but still vertical-access to insight and strategy (confidentiality)-collaboration-editing, building on, refining-funneling process-face-to-face-strategic thinking

“the bottom-up mindwill take us much further,

but will never take us to the end goal”(kevin kelly)

bottom upis not enough

Crowd-sourcing needs to be part of a bigger process

let’s take a lookat another approach

co-creation

Is the act of company stakeholderscollaborating directly with selected (usuallysmaller) groups of consumers to work on a

specific brief.

Is about leveraging consumers’ creativitywithout preempting the results of the process

Can take place on-line in communities or/andoffline in workshops

+few-to-few-to-one+more targeted+bottom-up and top-down+collaboration, editing, building on+refinement and funneling+online & face-to-face +access to insight and strategy (confidentiality)+strategic thinking

+faster process+immersive+robust and tailored concepts

what you get

-smaller crowd-local-less diversification-fewer ideas-more expensive than crowd-sourcing

what’s missing[compared to crowdsourcing]

the case for a hybrid model

bottom-up + top-downcrowds + individuals

group thinking + individual thinking
