“ Yes We Can”-Video – Will.i.am Yes We Can - Feb 2007  : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yq0tMYPDJQ Hope Act Change - Feb 2008  : http://www.hopeactchange.com/mosaic Speech Obama - Jan 8th 2007  : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe751kMBwms The 'Yes We Can' video on YouTube was not made by the Obama campaign, but by hip hop star Will.i.am who produced it and uploaded it onto the Web. The video quickly went viral, and before November 4 th  2008, it had been viewed 20 million times.  Powerful Democracy 2.0 tools are transforming politics and may soon bring profound changes to the way governments (& organisations) interact with citizens. A new era of e-democracy and e-government is dawning.“ We suggest you play this video in the background while browsing through this presentation...
Yes, We can! Yes We Can Lyrics by Will.I.Am (Chorus) Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. Si Se Puede (yes we can, yes we can, yes we can…)
Was it about Barack Obama... Story...  Baseline... Promises ... Plans ... Projects ... Vision... Values...  Yes, it ’s important, but did he make the difference?
Was it about John Mc Cain ... Story...  Baseline... Promises ... Plans ... Projects ... Vision... Values...  Yes, it ’s important, but did he make the difference?
Who made the difference?
YOU =The Audience  You want to get  added value.  You want to  contribute. You dream about a  better future. You like to be part of a  community ... and get  engaged
You
This time,  the audience was more interconnected than ever !   Web 2.0 : For many organisations both a threat & a problem... But it offers as well  a world of opportunities ! InterConnected & Engaged Individuals
honesty
together
Yes, We can! Yes We Can Lyrics by Will.I.Am (Part 1/3) It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. Yes we can. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. Yes we can. It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountain-top and pointed the way to the Promised Land. Yes we can to justice and equality. (yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can…)
2. Main  differences  between  1.0  and  2.0 ?
This is how most brands are perceived by the public, both in the offline and online world (Web 1.0) Yes we can! Vote for me please
The audience vs your brand in  Web 1.0
The audience vs your brand in  Web 2.0
How did this Audience get  connected   with the “ Obama Campaign  (=brand)”?
The one and only way forward is an “ Ongoing dialogue ” ... with your Audience
Yes, We can! Yes We Can Lyrics by Will.I.Am (Part 2/3) We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We want change! (We want change! We want change! We want change…) We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. We want change! (We want change! I want change! We want change! I want change…)

Yes, We can! Yes We Can Lyrics by Will.I.Am (Part 3/3) The hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA;  we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in America’s story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea - Yes. We. Can. (yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can…)

6. the HOPE.ACT.CHANGE. website ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
The HOPE.ACT.CHANGE. Website   (launched feb 2008) Hope Act Change - Feb 2008  : http://www.hopeactchange.com/mosaic Inspired by Barack Obama's vision of change and collective action, LBi was brought into this ground-breaking project by  will.i.am  < http://will.i.am > , musician, producer and lead singer of 'Black Eyed Peas', and Jesse Dylan and Mike Jurkovac, the filmmakers behind the video.  As the artist and filmmakers were conceiving and creating the &quot;Yes We Can&quot; song and video - which went on to over 20 million views on the web - they challenged LBi to build a website that would bring people into the effort to express their support of change in America.
We took our experience with Social Media and applied it to develop an innovative and visually stunning web site that gives life to community action and inspiration. Integrating user-generated content into the fabric of the &quot;Yes We Can&quot; music video, LBi created an interactive experience that visualizes the way the individual can bring about change and show their support for Barack Obama.  The HOPE.ACT.CHANGE. Website   Hope Act Change - Feb 2008  : http://www.hopeactchange.com/mosaic
By uploading their photos and videos to the site, or tagging their Flickr photos with &quot;hopeactchange&quot;, their content becomes a component of a virtual mosaic that overlays the video playback. Supporters all over America and around the world have become thumbnail pieces of the video, adding their voice to the new HopeActChange movement. They can share their stories of inspiration and connect with other members of the site. We also have featured celebrities, musicians, artists and digital innovators who have contributed their efforts to the site. There are now thousands of members and an active, growing movement that is being evolved daily by the community itself.  The HOPE.ACT.CHANGE. Website Hope Act Change - Feb 2008  : http://www.hopeactchange.com/mosaic
Yes we can! Will.I.Am - Yes We Can Song Info “ Yes We Can” is a song inspired by a speech delivered by  Barack Obama  following the 2008 New Hampshire primary, derived from the union catchcry “Yes we can”. The song was released on February 2, 2008 by the Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am on Dipdive.com and also on YouTube under the username ‘WeCan08′. Although the lyrics are entirely quotations from a speech delivered by Sen. Obama in New Hampshire during the 2008 campaign,  his campaign had no involvement in its production. The music viral video, shot in a sparse black-and-white, features Barack Obama’s image in collage fashion; the performers comprise a veritable Greek chorus echoing his words in a hip-hop call-and-response manner as his voice plays in the background.

The video quickly went viral, and before November 4 th 2008, it had been viewed 20 million times. Powerful Democracy 2.0 tools are transforming politics and may soon bring profound changes to the way governments (& organisations) interact with citizens. A new era of e-democracy and e-government is dawning.“ We suggest you play this video in the background while browsing through this presentation...
  • 4. Yes, We can! Yes We Can Lyrics by Will.I.Am (Chorus) Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. Si Se Puede (yes we can, yes we can, yes we can…)

  • 9. You
  • 10. This time, the audience was more interconnected than ever ! Web 2.0 : For many organisations both a threat & a problem... But it offers as well a world of opportunities ! InterConnected & Engaged Individuals
  • 13. Yes, We can! Yes We Can Lyrics by Will.I.Am (Part 1/3) It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. Yes we can. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. Yes we can. It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountain-top and pointed the way to the Promised Land. Yes we can to justice and equality. (yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can…)

  • 20. Yes, We can! Yes We Can Lyrics by Will.I.Am (Part 2/3) We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We want change! (We want change! We want change! We want change…) We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. We want change! (We want change! I want change! We want change! I want change…)

We. Can. (yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can…)

  • 38. The HOPE.ACT.CHANGE. Website (launched feb 2008) Hope Act Change - Feb 2008 : http://www.hopeactchange.com/mosaic Inspired by Barack Obama's vision of change and collective action, LBi was brought into this ground-breaking project by will.i.am < http://will.i.am > , musician, producer and lead singer of 'Black Eyed Peas', and Jesse Dylan and Mike Jurkovac, the filmmakers behind the video. As the artist and filmmakers were conceiving and creating the &quot;Yes We Can&quot; song and video - which went on to over 20 million views on the web - they challenged LBi to build a website that would bring people into the effort to express their support of change in America.
  • 39. We took our experience with Social Media and applied it to develop an innovative and visually stunning web site that gives life to community action and inspiration. Integrating user-generated content into the fabric of the &quot;Yes We Can&quot; music video, LBi created an interactive experience that visualizes the way the individual can bring about change and show their support for Barack Obama. The HOPE.ACT.CHANGE. Website Hope Act Change - Feb 2008 : http://www.hopeactchange.com/mosaic
  • 40. By uploading their photos and videos to the site, or tagging their Flickr photos with &quot;hopeactchange&quot;, their content becomes a component of a virtual mosaic that overlays the video playback. Supporters all over America and around the world have become thumbnail pieces of the video, adding their voice to the new HopeActChange movement. They can share their stories of inspiration and connect with other members of the site. We also have featured celebrities, musicians, artists and digital innovators who have contributed their efforts to the site. There are now thousands of members and an active, growing movement that is being evolved daily by the community itself. The HOPE.ACT.CHANGE.

  • 41. Yes we can! Will.I.Am - Yes We Can Song Info “ Yes We Can” is a song inspired by a speech delivered by Barack Obama following the 2008 New Hampshire primary, derived from the union catchcry “Yes we can”. The song was released on February 2, 2008 by the Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am on Dipdive.com and also on YouTube under the username ‘WeCan08′. Although the lyrics are entirely quotations from a speech delivered by Sen. Obama in New Hampshire during the 2008 campaign, his campaign had no involvement in its production. The music viral video, shot in a sparse black-and-white, features Barack Obama’s image in collage fashion; the performers comprise a veritable Greek chorus echoing his words in a hip-hop call-and-response manner as his voice plays in the background.
