AdHack Tactics: Lean Advertising, Crowdsourcing, Expertsourcing

A new advertising world demands new tactics.


Tactics that fit into a world where audiences defines their own context.


Tactics that are fast, flexible and geared towards delivering nimble, responsive, effective advertising.


We've drawn on our experience and the best thinking elsewhere to create our tactics.


Lean Advertising

From the Introduction to Lean Advertising:

The Lean Ad Campaign is a technique for applying lean thinking to the process of creating advertising campaigns. It is specifically tailored for situations where the problem (consumer needs) and the solution (commercial communications) are both unknown.

Traditional techniques for creative advertising campaigns invest large amounts of money and time into a linear process consisting of static research methods and fixed concepts built on assumptions of consumer needs. Often these assumptions are formed from internal opinions, past campaigns and controlled circumstances.


We're creating a guide to Lean Advertising. Read the full introduction


Crowdsourcing

We started crowdsourcing campaigns in 2007.


In the right context, it's an incredibly effective tactic to open advertising to participation.


Crowdsourcing can be revealing and cost effective — gathering tons of inputs and collecting a diverse range of ideas for a specific goal.


And since we've been engaged in crowdsourcing since its emergence, we've developed some expertise.

Co-Creation

Co-creation is the process of working with customers and stakeholders to create new approaches to business problems.


In the right context it produces the proverbial win-wins we all seek.


It's not for everyone. But when it's right, it works like gangbusters.


How will you know if it's right for your project? Let's decide together. Talk to us



Expertsourcing

Expertsourcing is selective crowdsourcing.


Working with a curated group of experts, expertsourcing accommodates more complexity and provides more advanced outcomes than general crowdsourcing.


Expertsourcing can occur in public or private and requires the right combination of talent, tools and tactics to generate maximum benefits. No surprise, right?


And we're experts at executing expertsourcing.
