“Expert” opinion is highly sought after but, in the nascent industry of crowdsourcing, the bias of experience lies with the crowdsourcing platform owners and their teams and maybe the odd crowdsourcing consultancy. Credible “buy-side” views from the users’ of crowdsourcing are appreciated for their candor and objectivity.
In this post, the first of a two-part article, Crowdsourcing.org interviews Tom Masterman of Dialogue Earth about their decision to experiment with the crowdsourcing of educational science videos. In part 1 of this post, Masterman talks about the issues associated with the decision on whether or not to crowdsource a video project around the issues of control, quality, cost and time to set-up.
In the first part of Crowdsourcing.org's interview with Dialogue Earth's Tom Masterman, we discussed issues related to the often-difficult decision whether or not to crowdsource the creation of video content. Part two of our interview focuses on considerations needed once the decision is made to move forward on a crowdsourcing project.
In this piece, Masterman answers Crowdsourcing.org’s questions on the issues of time to execute, project phases, and worker incentives and managing the interaction with the creative crowd.

In another landmark win for the crowdsourcing industry and GeniusRocket, crowdsourced vídeo production proves it’s a very real threat to the traditional big agency model for TV advertising production. In less than three weeks from the first meeting to premiering during NBC's "Meet the Press" on July 17th, GeniusRocket delivered a high quality production for a third of the typical cost.
With a straightforward and emotional message, Jam Session is the first advertising campaign launched by The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare in more than a decade. It is a decisive action to save what they consider essential public programs as Congress debates dramatic spending cuts.
The National Committee selected GeniusRocket, the DC-based advertising firm, a Pioneer in the crowdsourcing space, in favor of competition from within the advertising industry. The National Committee were looking for an ad that would effectively broadcast their mission in a national television advertising campaign.
"We needed a process that could guarantee enough creative options for our ad without the high fees associated with a traditional ad agency," said Pamela Causey, Director of Communications for the National Committee.
Last year LG Electronics, the world's second-largest manufacturer of television sets and one of the world’s largest electronic conglomerates, known for its use of top Korean music and film stars and its stunning TV spots, launched its first open communication forum called the Life's Good lab. Its aim was to intensify the interaction between the company and their consumers in Brazil and Latin America as a whole and to also infuse the company with fresh ideas. The initiative was a success building a community of over 118,000 fans on its Facebook Page who generated more than 15,000 ideas. This initial success provided the backdrop for LG Electronics to explore further ways of using crowdsourcing and social media to engage its audience. This year, LGE have chosen to use their social media outreach to promote Korean culture by using their Facebook fan Page to launch a video contest
LG has been using Facebook as a platform to connect with its audience while, at the same time, collect new ideas. The next step, according to the company, is to keep in touch with the fans of LG and to create a place where they can express and post not only their ideas but expressions about the brand.
To explain better what this strategy means for the company I talked to Paulo Santamaria, responsible for Regional Digital Marketing at LG. Santamaria said that the objective of the strategy is to revitalize the LG brand and to improve customer preference. He wishes to emphasize LG’s brand image as young, passionate and energetic. “Our target demographic are the younger generation, fans of good music, the generation that is really attached to technology, growing up in the new social media culture”.
