New York’s maps haven’t always been ugly. Some of them were actually quite beautiful.

For example

Comment on Crowdsourcing and the Extremely Impressionable “Twist” Ad by laurent

Unfortunately, “Crowdsourcing” is also undermining the work of agencies when the direction is taken in throwing out there on the net a symbolic fee in exchange for work to be performed. there is an uncontested fact that crowdsourcing brand work will gather a tons of options that could never be produced by one agency in the same timeframe, elevating the quality of the outcome and the choice available to the “crowdsourcer”. It is possible, let’s say for a logo assignment to gather 100-200 options in a matter of days, something a traditional agency couldn’t do without a large talent pool.The down part of this is, it is a quick fix in creating or developing work that has depth and a broader mean. Then there is the symbolic financial aspect where “crowdsourcers” tend to offer a symbolic financial reward if any for the actual value of the work delivered. This isn’t really new in some markets. In france most large scale branding and architecture project are open by law to anonymous submissions. at least in the first round. This allow like RFP for large agencies but also one-man outfit to submit work. Taking this concept online allow to reach instantly thousand more of potential creatives with no borders and get a huge amount of work.

Sophie, a salient point about the importance of brands in commodity-driven spaces, like technology, where products can be so easily copied or rendered obsolete. For companies looking to remain relevant in the crowded and ever-changing telecom space, a strong brand can also clear the pipeline for innovation. Google, for example, knows its customer so well that the brand can predict what customers want (Google maps) before the customer even knows it. These innovations are made possible when brands achieve true intimacy with customers.
