Crowdsourcing is changing the game…and everyone is playing. With the success of crowdsourcing brands (e.g., Starbucks, Kickstarter, Airbnb, etc.), everyone from government to small businesses are looking to harness the worldwide online community’s power to engage advocates, introduce new ideas, change behavior, AND fund programs.
Join returning speaker Melanie Goetz to explore how you can use crowdsourcing to spread your stormwater message, engage and enable your audience, and fund your next stormwater project.
This webinar is scheduled live on Thursday, Jan. 28th, 2016 @ 11:00 a.m. PST / 2:00 p.m. EST, 1-1.5hr.* Register for the event by clicking the button below.
In this webinar we’ll start with an in-depth look at crowdsourcing: what it is, its key elements, and how big brands to local non-profits are using it to leverage the power of the masses to amplify their message, gain support, and fund their campaigns. We’ll take a look at the worldwide potential of crowdsourcing, the challenges involved, and how to know when it’s a good fit (or not). Goetz will then walk us through the five essential elements of a successful crowdsourcing plan, the pitfalls to avoid, and how you can create and implement an effective crowdsourcing program for your next project. And finally, we’ll take a tour of crowdsourcing “in action” with a look at real-world case studies demonstrating the best (and the worst) of crowdsourcing, and how – when done right – crowdsourcing can engage and enable your advocates and volunteers, introduce new ideas and messages, tap new sources of funding, and transform your communications and public outreach.
