Can you imagine your clients designing your next hit product? Or paying a tenth of what it would cost with an agency to develop an excellent advertising campaign? These are just some of the advantages of co-creation. Expert on marketing and innovation Mohanbir Sawhney focused on this key theme during his opening speech at the World Marketing Forum Mexico.

“You don’t control your brand, your brand now belongs to your clients,” challenged Sawhney. So what do you do? There is only one option: to take advantage of the creative potential of your clients and engage them. After all…”the conversation and the debate about your product is happening on social media with or without your participation,” said Sawhney. So participate and co-create alongside your clients! In the following we discuss what this strategy is all about and the distinct type of collaboration you can achieve.

With fluorescent yellow shoes and a bright red watch, Mauro Porcini stepped on stage.  His energy was infectious through his Italian accent as he paced back and forth on the stage. Mauro is the Chief Design Officer for PepsiCo. 

Designers typically have a unique view of the world. And Mauro’s is especially noteworthy. For example, he doesn’t blame consumers for not using products, instead be blames bad design. It’s a refreshing and important perspective.

Design, sustainability, tenacity, improvisation, increasingly “green” global brands, millennials profile, mayors that break the mold and great business ideas, what do all of these concepts have in common? They have the possibility to transform the world through innovation and we had a chance to experience them all yesterday at World Innovation Forum New York.
 
All conferences from the first day of the event will be available to WOBI members starting on Friday.

It wasn’t too long ago that health fears of holding a cell phone to your head were in the news. Now we’re wearing things like Nike Fuel Band or Jawbone Flex to track our activity and sleep patterns. Sometimes it is functional, sometimes it is a fashion statement. Google Glass has brought this topic to a new level. 

Either way, technology is getting closer and closer to our bodies. For now, it is early adopters who will drive the trend.
