Can you believe it?! This is our 3rd CrowdChat and we have a number of industry experts lined-up for future chats.

Who Is Wil Merritt?

Crowdsourcing WeekToday Wil is the CEO at Zooppa.com. And he has an extensive career in the marketing and advertising space. Merritt spent an impressive 18 years with Time Warner, Inc and 4 years at the Corbis Corporation before finding himself at Zooppa.

What I find most intriguing is the time he spent as a Senior Vice President for the Corbis Corporation. This is a company that is a Bill Gates wholly owned private digital media company.

Why does this interest me — because Corbis has a collection of over 100 million photographic images. I not only love photography but I am an aspiring professional photographer. But enough of me rambling on — here are the CrowdChat details and questions we will be asking Will Merritt.
