A busy month; Co-Creation Event and Sprout Business Babies

June 29, 2009

We hade quite a busy month in which we had to leave the office once in a while.

First we were nominated for Sprout magazine’s ‘Business Babies 2009′. An election for the 25 best entrepeneurs under 25 years. An honour to be selected but unfortunately Danny Mekic from domeinbalie.nl had the honour to win this years election (Congratulations to him!). Nevertheless it was great to be selected and to meet a lot of succesfull entrepeneurs. We experienced it as a compliment to us after a busy and exciting year!

A few days after the Sprout magazine event and election, we attended at the first edition of the ‘Co-creation event’. This event focusses on co-creation and crowsourcing oppurtunities. There were different kind of workshops and speakers on this subject.

We also hosted a workshop titled ‘Advertising goes Social’ . In this workshop we discussed the socials aspects of advertisement in 2009. By means of the great ads we have on CreatAd.com we showed the results of crowdsourcing by CreatAd. For a little impression of the co-creation event check out this video on Dutchcowboys and their review about our workshop.

After all, we can say we were glad to leave our precious office this month for these nice and usefull events. Up to the next ones.

Spreading posters around.

May 22, 2009

6971280After the CreatAd competition we decided to use one of the designs for a poster campaign.

This week we received the posters, as you can see, that were inspired by this design.

With these posters we’re going to pimp  a lot of walls, doors and even teachers in the different design and graphic academies in the Netherlands. Hopefully they’ll understand that we will confront them with the future of advertisment.

Co-creation Event 2009

May 8, 2009

On the 24th of June the first co-creation event in the Nehterlands will take place. It’s an event which focusses on co-creation, web 2.0, marketing 2.0 and crowdsourcing.

There are workshops and speakers of different kind of companies and organisations like TNO, Sara Lee and off course CreatAd.

We’ll be giving a workshop titled ‘Advertising goes Social’ . In this workshop we’ll discuss the socials aspects of advertisement in 2009. This means that we’ll be using cases which will  illustrate how social networks like hyves, facebook and twitter bring opportunities on reaching out to big groups in a direct and effective way. A way to make a brand open to a bigger audience for co-creation, and strengthen the brands likeability. 

Hope we can welcome you on this event and at our workshop. For more information check out www.co-creationevent.com
