On December 9th, Passenger hosted a free webinar featuring Analyst Cindy Commander and Researcher Chris Townsend, both of Forrester Research, Inc.

The presentation from this Webinar is available now by clicking the image below to download.



Webinar Overview:

All companies know that their customers are already talking to one another about their business, its products and services ― both online and offline. By deciding not to participate in and learn from these conversations, key business decisions will be made based on general assumptions of what customers want, which are frequently off base. This interactive session will review different approaches to Customer Collaboration and provide answers to the following questions:

1. How to integrate customer communities into my business?
2. How can I get my customers more involved and engaged in the innovation process?
3. How can customer communities help me grow my brand?
4. What’s the difference between this and an open community?
5. What are best practices for engaging a customer community?
6. How can I measure the ROI of customer collaboration?
7. How does this replace/differ from the traditional research I’m conducting?
8. How do I position this is a “need to have,” not just a “nice to have” to my bosses?

About the Participants:

Analyst Cindy Commander helps senior marketers develop strategies around issues of marketing organization, culture, team development, and relationship building. Her research in the innovation space covers two key areas: (1) how marketing leaders should get consumers more involved in innovation; and (2) how marketing leaders can drive innovation more broadly within their own organizations with a focus on building innovation teams, culture, processes, and insights.

Researcher Chris Townsend’s primary coverage is innovation management, including the software and IT services to support corporate innovation, as well as the internal management best practices for creating a corporate culture of innovation. Previously at Forrester, Chris has worked extensively with innovation and global management expert Navi Radjou, researching technology trends in developing countries.

Justin Cooper is the co-founder and chief innovation + marketing at Passenger. An expert in customer experience design, brand strategy and customer collaboration, Justin’s work bridges the traditional rift between brand objectives and consumer expectations through a creative, but business-pragmatic approach to innovation.

Passenger Co-founder and Chief Innovation + Marketing Officer, Justin Cooper, joins a panel of industry experts to discuss, "Crowdsourcing: The Killer Development Tool."

LATV Festival
July 30, 2008
11:45am
@ The Highlands in Hollywood, CA

There was a time when every piece of creative content consumed over television was carefully incubated and designed at the budget of a small war. While much remains the same, the times, they are a-changing.

Taking a page from gaming and software development worlds, video content creators are discovering the power of community. Web 2.0 technologies now enable creators to take a job traditionally performed by a designated agent and outsource it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call. Done right, it is much less costly and can be more effective.

NATPE’s LATV Festival brings together nearly 1,000 content creators, agents, studio, network and new media executives to celebrate the art and commerce of video content in the TV production capital of the world.

Dow Jones VentureWire's Web Ventures Conference Redwood City, CA March 18-19, 2008

It’s becoming increasingly easier to launch a Web business with little capital and reach a built-in audience of millions “ thanks in part to Google’s OpenSocial and Facebook opening up its platform for application deployment. But what are the companies, technologies and applications that will profit with a more open and connected Web? What does it really mean for Web start-ups? Beyond social networking, what other Web markets will benefit in the coming years?

At this year’s Web Ventures conference, I'll be presenting a session on customer collaboration and describe how companies can gain insight, drive innovation and build advocacy. I'll also address how brands need to harness the collective intelligence of their customers in order to design better customer experiences, make more informed business decisions and keep up with the evolving marketplace.
