I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
Through the magic of (scary) cookies I've been reached by full-page/site-takeover Destiny ads when I've tried to read/watch the local news-channel sites today. Just bought the game, last week, by the way so that felt creepy. It's a little like Minority Report, your footprint is more important than the market a specific site delivers. Our hero - you - will run through a corridor of digital ads and they'll serve you information based on what you've been searching -seemingly only thinking about - lately.
Sadly, the same magical system also prices ad-placement based on "views" and thus, we have a shrill type of journalism which is all about driving traffic, and not at all about making a properly researched article about X.
Oh hold up! Irony! In a press release 2004 we put a stake in the ground that advertising support was not for us. Why? You click-whore for the income. I know I managed to say that in an interview at the time but I can not for the life of me find it now.
Corporate personhood has been established since the 1800s, and how they became people you can't sue is in interesting one, but yeah taking that and turning it into ye old "brands are people" is a bit.... Say, what is everyone smoking these days?
Spending $175,000 for an ad to run in New York today is quite up there. I too am surprised people aren't tuning their outrage radar to be outraged about that today. Perhaps they're too busy being outraged at those outraged by the brands tweeting 9/11 things.
Surely it's some awesome creative types, right?
Maybe? Here's what we do know, one (probably fake) co-founder is Burkhard Hormann, (facebook) a graduate in law from the Hamburg university. They've secured the trademark.
Veronica Jin is the creative co-ordinator. She exists! She enjoys blogging about ads, hanging out at the One Show and meeting likeminded at meetups like findspark & 360i startup outlook.
Curtis Oliver Caja who studied at Miami Ad School and lives in Ft Lauderdale/Miami made this wooden mailer with a cigar and a lighter for Colossal Spark as he's the art director intern. He really likes a good cigar and majored in creative advertising at Roosevelt University, Chicago, IL before Miami ad school.
Speaking of Chicago, Polina Quick in Chicago handles operations and finance. That's also where Daniela Mueller-Soppart consults & manages NPOs.
There's a Colossal Spark facebook page of course. Colossal Spark would also like some angel funding and have a page here for that
Ray Mond is a made up person, who has created slideshares and a Quora profile touting crowdsourcing.
Agencykillers (facebook) are involved in some way. Cute name. So they're gonna kill agencies by offering creatives less pay than agencies offer....? uhm... yeah... okay? Anyway, that's a "directory of crowdsourced-based service providers".
Oh, and there's this. In case you don't already hate everything about this. Is that "Burk Hard" smoking a cigar and touting a very british accent? This all feels very similar to Giant Hydra which was founded by cigar-loving Ignacio Oreamuno of Ihaveanidea a few years back, except Ignacio never hid the fact that he was the founder of his creative elite crowdsourcing engine.
The short clips of the artists, dancers, subculture celebs are FAR more interesting than the main edit of the ad. The interactive "upload your selfies & show us what your made of" is the usual blaha, and so far I see only one actual person has uploaded their selfie. The Hashtag #MadeofBlack however, is crowded by people declaring their pride, shouting out to their favorit artists and just randomly tweeting. At least 50% of the tag is coming from people who are on the continent of Africa too, it trended in Ghana for two days straight.
You don't seem to be speaking about the same thing as Kidsleepy at all. At all. Would you like to try to stay on topic?
Or are you? Where did you get the number $1800 from? Is this a sum that one pays CS for "two pages"? We've never mentioned that sum here, and you seem to be confident that this is a number known. So are you part of CS and is this about "pages" rather than generating groundbreaking ideas as the CS homepage talks about?
