Jackie over at the Church of the Customer reports on the bevy of brands who are inviting consumers to help create ads for that most prized of media moments: the Superbowl. This is still one of the most watched events in the world, with 98 million people tuning in last year.
She points out that Chevrolet and the NFL are half-hearted, as they only ask for ideas, and then shoot the films themselves. Doritos on the other hand actually ask for videos from aspiring film-makers and ask people to vote, with the winner being aired. And one of the 5 finalists says on the site that their ad cost the princely sum of $12.79. Which is at least $999 987 and 21 cents less that most of the ads in the Superbowl.
I can see several benefits from the Dorito's approach:
1. There's the obvious saving in production budget
2. You create interest in the brand via the voting that people do, and the film-making
3. The innovative (though getting less so in the USA) approach creates extra buzz around the brand
Most of the examples to date seem to be US based. Any European ones out there?



Thank you Amy!! We would be great neighbors!! Stitching together on the porch! My little old German neighbor lady taught me to garden..it is not hard at all..Just get your dirt very healthy..and then add perennials that are for your zone..mix in annuals..most perennials get cut back in the Fall..Just experiment:) It is lots of fun!!!

awynn I believe that when faced with the desciion to deny yourself or please yourself alot of Christians today are pleasing themselves. Our society pushes this mentality and if we have not allowed Christ to be our everything then there is no way we can deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him. We must live as Kingdom citizens- in the world but not of the world- and be set apart people of God.
