Posted by Yannig Roth | Oct 3, 2013 |

A new whitepaper on video content marketing, written collaboratively by experts from Coca-Cola, Energizer, Asatsu-DK, eYeka, Unruly and ThisMoment, contains valuable and practical information on how to create, select and share video content online.

The government can outsource the identification of a crime to the public. How — by defining a single task and an easy, clear way to get it done. Using citizens to gather information on crime may be a well tested crowdsourcing example used by governments the world over. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many areas in a citizen’s life where this approach has been used. Emerging examples, in countries such as Kenya are driven mostly by...
