Some thoughts
      …
“  Every  moment  of  interac0on  with  the  customer  is  an  opportunity  to  
  boost  customer  experience.  “    (P.  Hinssen  –  author  ‘The  New  
  Normal’)  


           “Companies  that  move  now  can  leverage  a  global  pool  of  
           talent,  ideas,  and  innova0ons  that  vastly  exceeds  what  they  could  
           ever  hope  to  marshal  internally.”  (K.  Maney  –  USA  Today)  

  (…)  what  the  new  customer  wants  requires  branded  experiences  that  
  are   personally   relevant,   memorable,   sensory,   emo0onal   and  
  meaningful.   (…)   Businesses   will   live   or   die   by   the   brand  
  experiences  and  value  they  offer  at  every  touch  point.      
  (E.  Hauser  &  M.  Lenderman,  EMF)  

“Expect  to  see  an  ever-­‐increasing  number  of  firms  applying  crowdsourcing  internally  
 and  externally  to  address  a  variety  of  problems,  from  new  product  development  to  
 sustainability.     The  path  has  been  set  for  expansion!”  
                        (Philippe  De  Ridder,  Board  of  Innova0on)  
That’s what others
      say about
   crowdsourcing,
experience marketing
  and real business
     application!
Imagine…
An online crowdsourcing
 platform that generates
different views, ideas and
concrete implementation
about HOW CONSUMERS
WANT TO EXPERIENCE
  YOUR BRAND!

  experience should look like?

                                                         Preparation of brief to
Community generates           UNLEASH                     present to the crowd
