Crowdsourcing, Crowdfunding and Open Innovation - Why is the New Social Currency Relevant?

‘Likes don’t save Lives’ – this simple but impactful message by UNICEF puts everything in perspective. Social media as we know it is great, but what happens after the like, tweet or share? How can we give social media a little edge to live on longer and be more productive?

Social shares are not the currency we should focus on when it comes to achieving real traction and impact. When done right, these are just bonuses that come out of a much deeper interaction. How can brands, organizations, social enterprises, governments and nonprofits achieve this deeper interaction and turn it into something more meaningful or productive? There are many ideas and movements that aim to get communities to act and put social media into a bigger and much better context: the sharing economy, access economy, collaborative consumption, co-creation, collaboration, open innovation amongst others.

Last month we have discussed about GREAT idea. Now, how to execute your ideas with minimum resource. Crowdsourcing can be the answer.

Join Epi Ludvik Nekaj, the Founder and CEO of Crowdsourcing Week to learn more about crowd impact and relevance of these new social currencies.
