What will be the impact of your idea?
LoudSauce will transform advertising from being primarily a medium for consumption to become a medium of civic participation that highlights inspiring people and organizations, and generates positive breakthroughs toward a sustainable economy. By connecting (1) social organizations in need of the large-scale brand building awareness, (2) leading creatives looking for more inspiring work, and (3) individual donors who understand the power of media, the LoudSauce community will breath life into inspirational ad content, and in doing so will:
- popularize relevant and timely causes in the broader public imagination
- create a new market for existing conscious ad content
- inspire leading creatives to rise to the challenge to create new ad content for social causes
- increase attention and funding to leading social organizations and leaders building a better world
Who will help you develop your idea? Why are you the one to make this happen?
LoudSauce will be developed by myself, Christie George, and Tao Y Ge. Because of the unique combination of our experience – in independent film & social entrepreneurship (Christie), digital advertising & creative commons (Colin), and data analytics & web services (Tao) – our team understands more deeply than most that a huge number of people, especially those rising in the current generation, have a deep desire to participate in something profound that makes a massive difference in the world. We see that socially bought advertising can uniquely fill that need for those people to participate in the creation of a positive vision for the future. Crowdfunded ad models have proven a string of isolated successes with MoveOn, the Obama campaign, and even an 'atheist bus campaign' in London (http://www.atheistbus.org.uk/). Now it’s time to offer a tool for everyone. With a proven track record in both non-profit and for-profit digital marketing and open source collaboration, I am the right person to make this happen.
How much will it cost to launch your idea? (This can be an estimate)
The key next steps to launching this venture are to build a solid prototype and test with a few social enterprises. In order to build a prototype we need to hire designers and a few developers to build and test the initial application. At the same time, Colin will need to work on key partnerships with Google Adwords, offline media partners, and key sustainable brands. We estimate that we need 2 weeks of a senior visual designer and interaction designer, and 4 weeks of a senior developer (in addition to Tao). This will cost an estimated $48,000 over 3 months from Feb - April 2010. Additional relatively minor fixed costs include hosting of $30/month). We plan to develop a pro version of the service for social enterprises, which we will be able to begin charging for later this year.
