The document discusses the rise of crowdfunding and how it has disrupted and disintermediated traditional financial intermediaries. It describes how early crowdfunding platforms in the 2000s allowed people to donate or invest small amounts in projects and receive rewards. This led to the growth of major crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and peer-to-peer lending platforms like LendingClub and Kiva. The document argues that crowdfunding has made it possible to access capital outside of traditional sources and will continue growing as a new funding mechanism, similar to how eBay and Amazon disrupted retail markets.

This document provides an overview of crowdfunding, including what it is, its advantages, and some pros and cons compared to traditional forms of investment. Crowdfunding allows entrepreneurs and creators to directly pitch ideas to the public to obtain funding, bypassing investors. It allows projects to be tested for interest and pre-orders before launching. While crowdfunding provides full control over projects, it also means dealing with a large number of backers who may have different expectations. The document discusses examples of successful crowdfunding campaigns and notes that competition is increasing as crowdfunding grows in popularity.

Tiffany Meyers's Communication Arts advertising agency article for Dan Fietsam and Energy BBDO about their creative work for Wrigley, Jim Beam, Chicago White Sox and the culture of their agency in 2010.
Since I'm tech-obsessed, wanted to share a trends deck I had compiled for 2011. But most importantly, since the year is over, a review back on what really happened based upon that prediction. Hindsight is always great, but being a prophet is even better. So, how'd we do?
We are in an era of chaos. Understanding how to harness the opportunities and bring delight to your consumer will be imperative to your brand's survival.

Social Media Today: The Rise of the Planned Opportunists Sobcon
The state of Social Media today is characterized by the rise of what I call "planned opportunists" - content creators who understand the brand's mission & values, can write 140 characters and 1000 words equally as well, can make immediate connections with the trend line, the storyline (based on the Hero's Journey) and the customer, can integrate sound & visual seamlessly, is a HUMAN, and thinks like Yoda (yes, Yoda).
The planned opportunist is a jazz player that knows how to use a productive key to improvise, around the virtual watercooler that is social media.
This document discusses alternative models for generating revenue on the internet beyond advertising. It identifies 7 potential sources: (1) learning from user behavior, (2) selling actual products online, (3) selling virtual goods, (4) charging for online content and experiences, (5) monetizing social referrals, (6) collecting data through user monitoring, and (7) creating targeted mobile ads. While some options like e-commerce are established, the document cautions against invasive practices and argues new models should focus on enhancing the user experience within online communities.

Facebook: Creativity at Scale #CannesLions / #OgilvyCannes Ogilvy
The document discusses creativity and ideas. It summarizes that to be creative:
1) Ideas should be participatory and engage people so they will share it with their networks.
2) Focus on finding one exceptional core idea rather than many ideas.
3) Creativity requires steady ongoing engagement with people, not just a single campaign or finish line.
4) Build on existing good ideas by putting your own spin on them, rather than insisting on total originality.
Web2.0 for the Public Sector, Principles, Issues and ChallengesPete Martin
Pete Martin discusses the principles, issues, and challenges of using Web 2.0 for public organizations. He notes that while tools are currently free, Web 2.0 requires significant resources in time and effort. Key challenges include loss of message control, non-expert commentary, and ensuring inclusion as some groups may be left behind digitally. Overall, Web 2.0 demands that attention and influence be earned through engagement rather than paid for as in traditional media.

The document provides a summary of the key talks, trends, and winners from the 2019 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Some of the major themes included:
- Brands taking stands on social issues and challenging laws, with winners tackling topics like racism, immigration policies, and child slavery.
- Advertisers focusing on adding more humanity to their messaging by leveraging cultural conversations and partnerships.
- A push for more inclusion and diversity across gender, race, and ability in advertising content and the industry itself.
Women in Saudi Arabia are using social media to fight for their right to drive. They have been posting photos of themselves driving on Twitter and Facebook in their campaign. A petition supported by Hillary Clinton asks Subaru to boycott Saudi Arabia until women are allowed to drive. Ryan Dunn, a member of the TV show Jackass, died in a car crash where both he and his passenger were intoxicated. Google Chrome launched a campaign on YouTube called "It Gets Better" to stop bullying of LGBT youth.
Digital companies like Facebook, Zynga, and Groupon have struggled after their IPOs, shaking investor confidence. While these companies gained huge user bases quickly through social media platforms, questions remain about how sustainable their business models are and how dependent they are on platforms like Facebook. Wall Street wants to see quick revenue growth from these companies, but Silicon Valley is focused on long-term potential. These companies will need to address concerns about measuring advertising results and transitioning to mobile to regain investor trust.
Trust, transparency, and honesty were major themes discussed at the 2019 International Festival of Creativity. The document discusses how (1) trust has been compromised in business but can be regained through authenticity, empathy and transparency; (2) technology has empowered consumers who now demand personalized experiences on their own terms; and (3) artificial intelligence needs oversight to ensure it is developed and applied ethically and for the benefit of humanity.

New Era. New Opportunities.
Devastating in so many ways, it cannot be denied that the pandemic has also been deeply transformative, accelerating new ways of living, working and thinking across almost every layer of our lives. Social is no exception.
At Punch, we’ve seen explosive growth in areas like intimate live social events, tutorials, workshops and shoppable content, as brands seek to add value to their customers’ lives and form deeper, longer-lasting connections with their followers.
Where the past decade has seen us confronting the more challenging aspects of social, things like data privacy, mental health and politics, 2021 has given us plenty of exciting signals that point towards a new era of social that starts right now – Web 3.0. With new opportunities coming at brands left, right and centre, we’re about to see a deep shift, with creators and innovators taking the reins and decentralising the power held by the big blue platforms since the mid-noughties.
In this report, we naturally discuss the emerging vision of the metaverse. The metaverse represents huge opportunity for brands; for some, early adoption might prove to be a key strategic investment. But the metaverse isn’t what excites us at the moment (sorry Zuck). With revolution in the air, we want to know what the underdogs are doing: the tech dreamers, the NFT kids, the creators. As creators become more and more valued for the central role they play in making social a fun place to be, we are already seeing examples of individuals breaking away and building their own niche communities. Whether they start to take large swathes of the larger platforms’ audiences with them remains to be seen. What can brands learn from their thinking – and how can we forge better and more creative partnerships? This is the big question of 2022.
Certain trends from last year, notably s-commerce and live video, are back for another year. The challenge with video is how to leverage new tools and techniques to create video content at scale in fresh, creative and authentic ways. We’re also starting to see audiences being actively rewarded for their loyalty and engagement, with highly-creative community managers and efficient and proactive customer service teams. Web 3.0 is unfolding; a bolder, fairer and more democratic digital playground where creativity and loyalty trump all. As user numbers grow and platforms and audiences mature further, budgets are likely to shift towards a combination of acquisition AND driving loyalty and retention.
“Community” is our key buzzword for 2022. Whether you’re getting in on the ground floor of branded NFT “moments”, exploring the hotter- and-hotter world of gaming, or investing more in cinematic video, success will depend on centring your community, acting thoughtfully and, as always, creating difference with mind blowing content and standout campaigns.
Google's $1.65 billion acquisition of YouTube sparked optimism in tech circles about a potential new bubble in the industry, though some investors remain cautious. The article profiles several new internet companies founded by young entrepreneurs in the Web 2.0 era and examines whether the current boom shares similarities with the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s. While start-up costs are much lower today, many companies still face challenges proving they can build profitable, sustainable businesses from their free websites and user-generated content models.
In this paper, I chose one tv advertisement from the Super Bowl in 2017, Go Daddy. I analyzed the history of their ads, the agency, teasers and social media, and the message behind Go Daddy's ad.

Presentation was originally presented in Yellow Springs (3/19/15) by Kenny Brightman.
Program was underwritten by High Street Communication for the Yellow Springs Chamber of Commerce.
The document discusses how rural tourism destinations can use digital storytelling to enhance their competitiveness and attractiveness. It emphasizes finding compelling stories that will intrigue potential visitors and sharing those stories online through visual digital content and social media engagement in order to stand out among competitors. Connecting stories across geographical levels and cooperating with other tourism entities are also recommended to attract visitors interested in immersive travel experiences.
The document discusses trends in consumer experience from the 2019 International Festival of Creativity. Three key trends are: 1) Co-creation and fluidity, with brands creating experiences for consumers to collaborate on building the brand across channels; 2) Being raw and real by creating authentic messaging that reflects consumers' lived experiences; 3) Sound becoming an important new channel, with opportunities in voice assistants, podcasts, and sonic branding. The takeaways emphasize directly engaging consumers, embracing imperfections in creative, letting consumers help define the brand experience, and developing audio strategies.
First, brands have little impact and most customers would not care if 77% of brands disappeared. Second, to have impact, brands must listen to customers, demonstrate empathy and care about social issues. Third, brands can influence culture by redirecting conversations around taboos or competitors' missteps. Leading with empathy and purpose allows brands to drive meaningful change.
Sharing is the New Buying: How to Win in the Collaborative EconomyJeremiah Owyang
Crowd Companies, a brand council founded by Jeremiah Owyang primarily focusing on the collaborative economy movement, and Vision Critical, the leading provider of insight community technologies, have exclusively partnered to release a groundbreaking report, “Sharing is the New Buying” that for the first time maps the size and characteristics of the movement. Based on responses from more than 90,000 Internet users across the U.S., U.K. and Canada, the report concludes that sharing online is mainstream, growing, practical and satisfying, and has become a competitive threat to large corporations. Report includes: Introduction and summary. Breakdown of the three groups of sharing customers. Market adoption rates, forecast and growth rates. Taxonomy of the market. Breakdown by demographic: age, location, political party, marriage status and more. Satisfaction rates of sharing services. Forecast of future behaviors. Recommendations for corporations: market opportunities, and specific departmental impacts.
I made this presentation at the beginning of 2007 when I had my intern at the Belgian communication agency These Days.
The goal of this presentation was to give a brief overview of the evolution the gaming and advertising scene had gone through up til then (2007). It is my personal view on the things and I am the first to admit that my opinion is not king.
In the future I will make a new presentation because some opinions and conclusions need steering.
I thank you for your comments.
Phenylboronic based Glucose sensitive HydrogelHenok Tesfaye
This document describes research into developing an implantable glucose sensor using sugar-sensitive hydrogels. Phenylboronic acid (PBA)-based hydrogels were synthesized that swell in response to glucose and fructose concentration. Testing showed the 20% PBA hydrogel had high sensitivity and linear response to glucose between 0-25mM, with a low limit of detection of 0.5mM. Electrical impedance spectroscopy measurements on the hydrogel-coated electrodes demonstrated an increase in capacitance with increasing glucose concentration, indicating potential for use in an implantable glucose sensor.

En la primera década del siglo XX, las principales naciones europeas se agruparon en dos alianzas: la triple entente formada por Francia, Rusia e Inglaterra, y la triple alianza formada por Alemania, Austria e Italia. A pesar de la política de conciliación, guardaban recelos y desconfianzas entre ellas. Desde la guerra franco-prusiana en 1870, las rivalidades entre las naciones europeas fueron en aumento motivadas por adquisiciones territoriales y expansión comercial, pero se conformaban con armarse sin llegar a la

The Arizona Department of Education administers the Empowerment Scholarship Accounts Program, which provides state education funding to parents of children who do not attend public schools and meet eligibility criteria. The Department oversees program spending but needs to strengthen oversight and continue improving various aspects of administration. It should finalize policies and procedures for eligibility determination, information security, and data management. It also needs to fully implement a new IT system. Additionally, the Legislature should consider forming a work group to discuss statutory changes to further safeguard program funds given issues like parents' use of third-party payment services and potential financial benefits to enrolled families.
Private labels are becoming increasingly important in the Indian retail sector. Consumers are seeking quality products at affordable prices, and private labels help deliver on both of these priorities for many shoppers. Retailers are deriving 20% or more of their online sales from private labels as these own brands become a key differentiator. While national brands remain important, private labels have grown their market share in many categories and now account for a significant portion of sales for major retailers. Developing strong private label offerings requires an understanding of customer preferences and balancing these products with national brands.

This document outlines the key steps involved in the drug discovery process:
1. Target identification involves identifying protein targets through methods like sequence analysis and cDNA library generation.
2. Target validation confirms the drug will affect the specific target through techniques like chemogenomics and target gene disruption.
3. Lead identification screens compound libraries to find leads that are potent against the target using assays.
4. Lead optimization refines the leads using computer-aided drug design and de novo drug design.
5. Preclinical pharmacology involves testing the drugs on lab animals, human cells, and clinical trials with government approval.

This document provides an overview of crowdfunding and its advantages for entrepreneurs. It defines crowdfunding as raising startup capital from the general public online by offering rewards in exchange for donations. Some key benefits highlighted include testing ideas with little cost, bypassing traditional investors and retaining full control, and gaining early customers who can promote products. However, crowdfunding also requires intensive promotion and comes with the risk of campaign failure. The document aims to help readers understand and utilize crowdfunding for their projects and businesses.

Can Relationship Capital Solve The WorldGUY FLEMMING
The document discusses the concept of Relationship Capital and proposes two "Laws of Relationship Capital". The First Law states that all living or once-living entities possess Relationship Capital. The Second Law builds on this, stating that while non-organic entities do not inherently possess Relationship Capital, they can reflect the collective Relationship Capital of organic entities that interact with them. The document uses examples like Mount Rushmore and relationships between different organisms to illustrate these laws and their implications for valuing relationships in an economic system based on Relationship Capital rather than solely financial measures.

This document discusses venture capital financing and how it works. It explains that venture capital involves equity investments in startups, with funding provided in multiple stages as the company grows. The stages include seed funding to set up the company, a startup stage to develop a prototype and business plan, further funding stages to expand operations and take market share, and a final bridge stage before potentially going public. Venture capitalists make money through management fees and ultimately hope to generate returns through startup growth and exiting investments, usually via acquisition or IPO.
