Successful crowdfunding
•
0 likes•36 views
The Powerup Dart crowdfunding project was very successful, raising over 6713% of its funding goal. It had a simple idea of creating an app-controlled paper airplane that could have aerial battles. Its campaign video showed the story and creator, making the product feel personal and appealing to children. In contrast, the Smarty Ring promised to be a smartwatch condensed into a ring but failed to deliver on its promises, leaving backers angry and damaging the company's chances of future success. It is considered one of the greatest crowdfunding fails for promising too much without a developed product.

Top 10 Trends from SXSW Interactive 2014 for ICSC MOCIAL
The top 10 trends from SXSW Interactive 2014, consolidating for ICSC's MOCIAL attendees the most inspiring and thought-provoking insights from world-renown marketers and innovators. This presentation sheds light on how our daily lives might become more streamlined, meaningful or entertaining, and at the same time explore how brands can use new technology to connect with customers.
Gonzo products
This document discusses the impact of crowdfunding on "Gonzo products" in the Internet of Things. It defines a Gonzo product as one designed without realistic production or budget claims and that starts on a crowdfunding site with a low goal and pivots every 6 months. It notes that crowdfunding has become a replacement for real investment for some companies and questions whether crowdfunding is a good replacement, as investors may be in the driving seat instead of customers. It advocates treating projects and businesses differently and filling the knowledge gap between large corporations and startups.
SXSW 2016 Takeaways
Now that SXSW 2016 has come to a close, here's a recap deck showcasing what I saw, learned, and what's looming in the interactive technology world.
Highlights include a GaryVee Q&A, President Obama's Keynote, Google Self-Driving Car update, Twitter / TwitterSports innovations, live streaming discussion, IBM Internet of Caring Things (IoT), and marketing movie trailers.
Sxsw 2012 part 1
This document contains notes from a presentation on lessons learned from SXSW Interactive 2012. Some of the key points discussed include the growing trend of ubiquitous computing driven by technology becoming smaller, faster, more powerful, cheaper, and more energy efficient; the breakdown between the digital and physical worlds as more devices have sensors and are connected; and the need for businesses to embrace mobile opportunities or risk falling behind. Engineering serendipity through context-aware apps that launch based on location, activities, and connections without needing to be manually opened is also mentioned.
Arnaud Burgot - Multinationals and Crowdfunding
This document discusses various ways that multinational companies have entered and partnered with the crowdfunding ecosystem. It provides examples of partnerships between crowdfunding platforms and large companies, as well as companies running their own crowdfunding campaigns. The document argues that such partnerships can provide benefits to both project creators and companies by boosting visibility, testing ideas, and building engagement. It acknowledges some risks but views the potential for innovation as outweighing concerns about crowdfunding becoming too commercialized.
Funding the Internet of Things in the UK
Short talk given at the Design Museum at a Policy Connect event http://www.policyconnect.org.uk/apdig/events/design-innovation-and-technology-spring-reception
Successful crowdfunding
The Capsule crowdfunding project exceeded its goal by 1600% due to its sleek, useful, and inexpensive smart projector technology shown attractively in marketing videos. As funding increased, new reward tiers engaged backers. In contrast, the Onestick project failed to reach 1% of its goal due to its vague concept of an all-in-one accessory, unclear rewards that did not guarantee a product, and lack of professional marketing videos.
The End of Events as We Know It
This document discusses emerging technologies that are lowering the cost and increasing the impact of events, such as hybrid events, event apps, and audience response systems. It provides examples of the largest hybrid events in the world and low-cost production equipment. It also summarizes popular audience response systems like Poll Everywhere that allow event organizers to gather real-time feedback from audiences using mobile devices and web technology instead of proprietary hardware.

An overview of online video marketing
64% of marketers expect video to dominate their strategies in the near future. Online Video Marketing, Internet Video Marketing. An Answer to How Video Marketing Is Changing Online.
An overview of online video marketing
Online video marketing is growing rapidly. By 2016, 55% of consumer internet traffic will be video. Video advertising spending will increase significantly in the next 5 years. To be successful with online video, brands should focus on telling compelling stories in short, serial formats rather than episodic. Videos should be as short as possible while still telling a complete story. They should feel disruptive and unique to the online environment rather than like television commercials. The goal is to create engaging content that consumers will want to share socially.
Analyzing crowdfunding campaigns
The document analyzes and compares a successful Kickstarter campaign for a laptop charging cable winder called "The Sidewinder" and an unsuccessful campaign called "Paw Union Network". For the successful campaign, the document notes it had a good product, short and concise video demonstrating the product's use, and coupled the product with good advertising. For the unsuccessful campaign, it was noted the video provided little information about the project and rewards were underwhelming, likely contributing to its failure to gain funding.
Now & Next: Future of Engagement
The Now & Next: Future of Engagement report highlights the ten most important frontiers that will define the future of engagement for marketers, entrepreneurs and changemakers: Crowdfunding, Behavior Change Games, Collaborative Social Innovation, Grassroots Change Movements, Co-creation Communities, Social Curation, Transmedia Storytelling, Collective Intelligence, Social Live Experiences and Collaborative Consumption.
In our individual chapters on the ten frontiers, we start by describing why they are important and how they work; we then examine web platforms and brand programs that point to the future (that is already here); then finish by identifying some of the most important features of that future, with our recommendations on how to benefit from them.

2013 #Canneslions Review by DigitasLBi
This document summarizes award-winning campaigns from the 2013 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. It discusses campaigns that took risks in their ideas, such as using humor and cute animated characters to address the serious issue of rail safety. It also highlights campaigns that innovated with low-tech ideas, such as transforming old phones into e-readers for students. Throughout, it emphasizes the importance of ideas that tell stories, change behaviors, and spark open discussion, even when those ideas involve risks.
Ignition 5 12.05.14
This document provides summaries of 6 topics:
1) Pedigree is using YouTube's revenue sharing model to raise money for pet adoptions by encouraging people to share a cute video.
2) A climate change platform showed that rising sea levels of 6 feet could flood major cities in the next 100 years to raise awareness.
3) Belgian lawyers bought a domain name related to a radio station's new slogan and offered to trade it for air time to discuss intellectual property issues.
4) A new app links coffee machines to alarms so "snooze" time can be used to start brewing coffee.
5) An inventor has created a $300 3D printer that can print makeup by reading color codes
Tbwa speech
This document discusses the concept of disruption in marketing. Disruption involves radically new ideas that help brands reach their vision faster, as opposed to convention which involves doing the same things repeatedly. The document provides examples of disruptive strategies used by companies like Apple, Adidas, Vinamilk and Best Carings that helped make their brands more inspiring and successful. These strategies established emotional connections with customers rather than just focusing on product features or promotions.
Communication
This document predicts communication technologies that may exist in 2024 and analyzes them using diffusion of innovation and long tail theories. It examines visual 3D technologies like Google Glass and suspended holograms. While innovative, their high costs and lack of interactivity may limit widespread adoption. An ideal future technology would combine the interface of Google Glass with the interactivity of holograms in a portable, affordable way.

Lu generating engagement_ideas_final
The document discusses generating world-class digital engagement ideas. It provides three examples of engagement ideas, including a restaurant marketing campaign, a documentary, and a crisps brand campaign. It then outlines common characteristics like authentic stories and behavior change. The document also details a case study called "De Jungle Kids" where children helped design a new water attraction. Key aspects of developing engagement ideas are an involved client, using digital as a core part, equal collaboration, workshop sessions, a phased approach, and expansion through additional tactics.

This document discusses crowdfunding campaign successes and failures. It provides examples of campaigns that failed like Laser Razor, which could not deliver a working prototype, and Fidget Cube, which took too long to deliver rewards. Successful campaigns included Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5, which offered many expansion packs as rewards, Exploding Kittens, which had a popular adult edition deck, and The Everyday Backpack.
Crowdfunding write up
This document provides examples of good and bad crowdfunding project write-ups. A good write-up for a heart disease detection app clearly showed the need for the app and how it works without a doctor. Another good example for a safety mobile app described specific scenarios of how the app would respond in dangerous situations and what donor funds would support. A write-up for a food delivery service was confusing and lacked context. A sustainability app did not maintain audience excitement about its idea. The document advises showing clear value and using for donor funds in write-ups.

A write-up for a food delivery service was confusing and lacked context. A sustainability app did not maintain audience excitement about its idea. The document advises showing clear value and using for donor funds in write-ups.
Human trafficking
The document discusses human trafficking and coyotaje. Coyotaje refers to individuals who promise to help smuggle people out of third world countries into first world countries, but often exploit them through human trafficking instead. The document also mentions a charity called the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking that works to address human trafficking.
Environmental solutions
The document discusses environmental issues related to trash in the oceans and proposes solutions. It notes that trash in the sea hurts Hawaii's tourism industry and can be prevented by persuading people not to litter and providing incentives for cleaning up trash. A proposed solution is the Floating Garbage Collector.
Solutions of homelessness
A proposal outlines one man's idea to build a whole city for the homeless with just a few volunteers. It suggests that people will care and support the idea, especially if they are sold on how to make the city sustainable. The document recommends exploring other examples of communities built for the homeless in Hawaii and considering using homeless individuals to help each other by teaching self-governance principles to meet basic needs.
Homelessness is easily solved
Homelessness is a growing epidemic in Hawaii, with over 12,000-15,000 people experiencing homelessness at some point during the year. At least 6,300 people are homeless on any given day, including many families with children doing homework in cars and the elderly forced to choose between food and medicine. Native Hawaiians and veterans are disproportionately represented among the homeless population. The number of homeless individuals has increased 68% in Hawaii since 2013.
Save our souls
The document proposes using garbage and soil erosion as materials to make bricks to reinforce shorelines. It suggests getting a hydraulic press to compact the materials into bricks that can strengthen shorelines and prevent further erosion, turning problems into blessings.
Crime to beach clean up
Young people can have fun without drugs and alcohol by providing positive alternatives like beach cleanups, football games, and school presentations. Preventing crime means keeping kids occupied with prosocial activities rather than leaving them in high-crime areas where drug use is prevalent. When creating social change programs, focus on principles of education and fun rather than problematic behaviors.

Goodbye Windows 11: Make Way for Nitrux Linux 3.5.0!
As the digital landscape continually evolves, operating systems play a critical role in shaping user experiences and productivity. The launch of Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 marks a significant milestone, offering a robust alternative to traditional systems such as Windows 11. This article delves into the essence of Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, exploring its unique features, advantages, and how it stands as a compelling choice for both casual users and tech enthusiasts.
Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Best 20 SEO Techniques To Improve Website Visibility In SERP
Successful crowdfunding
- 2. What makes a crowdfunding project successful? Let’s compare two examples
- 3. First the Powerup Dart- The World’s First App Controlled Paper Airplane
- 4. The Powerup Dart was 6713% funded by the time the campaign ended. It was a simple idea, how would you like to control your paper airplanes and even have potential air fights
- 5. Their campaign was expensive, but they were successful in highlighting how much of a discount they were giving customers.
- 6. The video showed the story and the creator of the product, it brought the story close to home
- 7. It captured the kid inside of all of us, throught their videos and illustrations. It made something that seems very unnecessary become a childhood dream brought to life.
- 8. The Smarty Ring was one I was personally interested in.
- 9. It was supposed to be a ring that did everything. The smartwatch condensed into one finger
- 10. It was so cheap to buy that it was no wonder it earned money quickly
- 11. The video promised a lot, and that was the failure of the project. It never got past the concept stage.
- 12. It is considered one of the gratest crowdfunding fails. Unlike the paper airplane, it promised too much and delivered nothing. Leaving consumers angry and lessening their chance of later success.
Editor's Notes
- https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/powerup-dart-app-controlled-paper-airplane-drone-gadgets#/ Their funding goal was $25,000, earned $1,679,582. This is rewards based crowdfunding, business entrepreneurship.
- https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/smarty-ring--3#/ Their goal was $40,000, they almost reached $300,000. Rewards crowdfunding, business entrepreneurship
