3. What if our billboards inspired us
towards a bright green future?
4. What is our vision?
We want to transform advertising from a medium of
consumption to a medium of civic participation.
So many great social organizations out there...
with limited awareness and poor marketing.
There is a major marketing gap in the social
sector, which crowdfunded advertising can fill.

LoudSauce gives people a social way to buy ad space for their favorite causes. LoudSauce will aggregate supporters' micro-contributions to amplify these organizations’ efforts, therefore broadening and deepening their ultimate impact.
LoudSauce will transform advertising from being primarily a medium for consumption to become a medium of civic participation.
Why advertising? Why now? Because it’s already happening!
In 2004, 10,000 fans of the Mozilla Foundation’s Firefox browser funded a 2-page ad in the NY Times asking readers, ‘Are you fed up with your web browser?’
The answer: You Are Not Alone
Thousands say, ‘There probably is no God’
The Church responds, ‘There definitely is!’
Thousands say, ‘There probably is no God’
The Church responds, ‘There definitely is!’
LoudSauce sits at the inevitable of three trends and connects communities who currently don’t speak with each other but SHOULD:
social organizations in need of the large-scale brand building awareness (that advertising can offer)
individual donors who understand the power of media and their own collective power
inspiring Ads that either already exist or are on the verge of being created.
Social media leaders will drive attention to the most influential ads, and fuel participation through LoudSauce to fund pushing those Ads out to online and offline Ad channels, giving mainstream credibility and exposure to important organizations and artists.

how do we get a mass audience to do anythings
low overhead,
LoudSauce is truly an early stage start-up. This prize would be critical in allowing us to build the prototype that will help us test LoudSauce with three enterprises. We would establish partnerships with at least one social enterprise and one artist in order to determine the best audience and the most likely partners.,
build it, gives us credibility, get blessing
for this to be succes
One year from now, through many LoudSauce campaigns, the perception of what is possible with Advertising will have changed. Individuals and organizations will be inspired to put their money where their values are to help build a better world.
