In a good cause: Celebrity charity.
Right now I read about SXSW in both music related news and media related news. It's a Texas festival that takes place for 22ende time and is about music, movies and media. The festival offers both showcases, conferences and lots of MIngel. People are certainly there to draw attention to their project or just themselves, but - it seems - even to reflect and discuss trends in (music, film and media) culture. I would like to do if nothing else.
Recently I designed to Social Vibe , which is a community that connects sponsors with charity. The point is that I act as intermediary and choose which charity I want to support with the sponsor's money. I can then create attention around on my website , facebook or somewhere. In this way achieves both the sponsor and the good cause massive attention through the long tail. Not because of what I do, but because of the thousands do.
This morning I read about the Charity Smackdown at Mashable .
Charity Smackdown 's about celebrities competing to collect the most money for their cause - and the winner is the many good things around.
It is not because it is especially new. Mashable total 1.5 million crowns under Twestival last month and Oprah Winfrey have last year made " The Big Give , "where people who were good at raising money and values, competed to be few others to be most generous in comparison to exactly what they chose to support this.
But nevertheless I think it's fantastic concept. Recently I saw Hans Otto Bisgaard and son Jeppe Bisgaard be in "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". Celebrities do not win money themselves, they should donate it to charity. And while they went out relatively early, so did they still talking about Lasse Fund , which probably otherwise to daily live a completely unknown life? To have a patron is also a known phenomenon among aid organizations - in Denmark and the rest of the world.
Personally, I think that the Charity Smackdown could do well at the Roskilde Festival, Beat Green Day or Concert instance. through mobile donations. For immediate, I think it is best suited to a context. A great showcase of the subway will not automatically enable people to participate and I doubt even on the TV without the big show will work optimally when it is the interaction of the individual competition element of Representatives, it is inspiring in itself and as always a question about volume.
