Things By Mike

Quite a while back I was doing some random stumbling on StumbleUpon when I happened upon a site that promised to change the face of advertising, giving you the opportunity to be part of the creative process and earn some money while you’re at it. The site was a bit vague however and basically it was just a landing/coming soon page. I was intrigued enough though to sign up for their newsletter and be informed when they officially launched. A couple months or so passed and I’d yet to hear anything until recently when I finally started receiving e-mail newsletters from GeniusRocket, announcing their launch.

From the looks of the early alpha version of the site it appears clients will be able to post assignments which they would like to have completed. It could be a video countdown or perhaps a five second post-roll audio clip, which creatives can submit their ideas for. The best ideas will be awarded a cash prize. It looks like a very promising and possibly fun experience to be had. I may just take a longer look around and give one of their assignments a go when I have a little free time.
