Crowdfunding is changing how entrepreneurs bring new products to market. It has allowed thousands of innovating entrepreneurs to raise money,
build brand awareness, and join a broader conversation with large numbers of potential backers, all while still in the product development process.
Examples of crowdfunded products like Oculus Rift, a virtual-reality gaming headset that raised $2.4 million via crowdfunding. Oculus VR was later
acquired by Facebook Inc. for $2 billion.
Crowdfunding is now no longer just about raising funds. It has grown into an active community of early adopters, tech enthusiasts and
innovative startups. This presents an opportunity to align with tech innovation by engaging with this community through product plays, entering a
previously unexplored space, testing new markets, gaining valuable press coverage in niche publications and gaining new customers who have
previously not engaged with the brand.
Adage: Big Brands Explore Crowdfunding https://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/big-brands-crowdfund-products/315235/
Brands such as the ones highlighted below have woken up to this opportunity and Blazon have helped first movers in this space.
BlazonCrowdfundingForBrandsInnovationOffering
To best position ourselves as the go-to agency for crowdfunding innovation, we have been chosen to partner with both leading crowdfunding
platforms, Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and a number of core leaders and service companies in the crowdfunding space, giving us the best resources
available to deliver our campaigns.

AnatomyOfA
Crowdfunding
Campaign
Pre-Campaign (8-24 Weeks)
The goal for a successful pre-campaign is to generate leads, interest
and gain valuable feedback on which marketing techniques convert
into the most leads. Pre-Campaign leads are generated through
Facebook, Instagram and Google Ads, with assistance from press and
blog articles.
Campaign Launch Period (One Week)
The most important day for any crowdfunding campaign is the crucial
launch day, where we discover how many leads convert into sales, and
how many press outlets cover the campaign. Through pre-campaign
lead generation, we are able to estimate these conversion numbers,
and set the goal amount to our estimated ROI.
Live Crowdfunding Campaign (4-8 Weeks)
Throughout the campaign, the focus is on continued Ad campaigns,
with continued press pitching to increase exposure. Our ads generally
see a 7-10x ROI during this period.
Crowdfunding campaigns are split into three key
sections: Pre-campaign, Campaign launch,
Live campaign.

Pre-Campaign leads are generated through Facebook, Instagram and Google Ads, with assistance from press and blog articles. Campaign Launch Period (One Week) The most important day for any crowdfunding campaign is the crucial launch day, where we discover how many leads convert into sales, and how many press outlets cover the campaign. Through pre-campaign lead generation, we are able to estimate these conversion numbers, and set the goal amount to our estimated ROI. Live Crowdfunding Campaign (4-8 Weeks) Throughout the campaign, the focus is on continued Ad campaigns, with continued press pitching to increase exposure.
