FB Gets Invaded! (The Co-Created Way)

It’s finally time for co-creators to unite and make this movement real!

It’s August 6th, and 24 of the awesomest (I know that’s not a real word) companies in the co-creation space are invading Facebook to capture millions of impressions promoting the idea of design-your-own.

The ultimate goals are to:

i) build a community around co-creation (just working on this campaign together, this ‘rallying of the troops,’ is totally a powerful way for us co-creators to connect and just have an awesome time doing it! We’re a big family just trying to shake up the world of retail)

ii) start a conversation, not push conversions (we’re just trying to bring awareness to the fact that you can pretty much design anything you want any way you want, so more people can feel that entitlement that they deserve more and then go searching for the better things in life!)

iii) do something that’s never been done before! (from my understanding, I’ve never seen or heard of businesses in the same niche industry collaborating for such an effort using Facebook advertising – first time for everything, huh? – but if you’ve seen or heard of past examples, give a shout in the comments!)

Happy co-creating!
