I. Love. This. Concept. Crowdsourcing that actually means something. Recently, there was the We Own GM effort by Harry Webber. Now, agencies The Ad Store and Forza Migliozzi, llc. are pooling resources to look for enough people to buy Pabst Brewing Company on Buy A Beer Company. Total cost: $300 million. Minimum contribeertions start at $5. Other crowdsource membership pledge levels include Six Pack Membership ($25.00), Case membership ($100.00) or the Brewmeister level of $250,000.00. Dorito-lovin’, Super Bowl commercial havin’ brands, listen up, you started it. This is the double-edged sword that is crowdsourcing. After all, consumers “own” social media, AM I RIGHT? What’s more social than beer!
I woulda crowdsourced the logo though. I KID.
