e 1. there was a time when the word “faggot” meant a bundle of sticks. but then people started using it in an insulting, offensive way and things changed. so when you say things like “homo,” “dyke” and “that’s so gay” try-ing to be funny, remember, you may actually be hurting someone. 2. so please, knock it off. 3. get more information at ThinkB4YouSpeak.com

They work. But...they are expensive, they are temporary, they are mostly passive.

They are not going away. But they derive from an era when we (brands and marketers) owned the media and could “broadcast” our sales pitches.

Today we live in an age of social media and participation.

![Page 13: Ideas that do](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051110/54c786dc4a79595d5f8b45a6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Consumers no longer want to play a passive role. Nor do they have to. At a minimum, they want to choose what they engage with and when they engage.
More likely they want a chance to comment and share. Ideally, if an idea is good enough, they’ll actually participate -- sometimes before the fact, sometimes after -- in the process creating more content that spreads across the web, attracting attention to the original idea, liking the brand or the product for allowing them to be part of the experience.
What does a brand have to do or create to achieve such a level of participation?

Think about your own use of technology, media, content.
Consider how you !nd out about brands and products. Identify the problems, frustrations, needs you have that brands could solve with marketing as utility?
Factor in context. Where are you? What are you doing? What makes sense at that moment?
Ask what a brand has to do to get you to pay attention, engage, and more importantly, stay involved.

The real value is if the idea does one or all of the following:
a. becomes a part of your every day life: Nike Plus, AMEX on Foursquare
b. gives you some form of utility that you use at least occasionally (E On, Tesco)
c. gets you to take some kind of action -- Oreo Daily Twist, Jet Blue Election Protection, where you are involved not just watching.
d. makes you WANT to share it because it is either cool and you want to turn your friends on to it. Or there is some incentive to do so. Or because you are inviting more participation that bene!ts you, i.e. the Kickstarter inspired Dodge Dart idea or Art of the Trench.
