There’s a Photo Contest in Your Future. I Can Feel It.

There are so many reasons to launch a consumer-generated media campaign. They save money and think time, encourage brand appropriation, and are pretty easy to sell to a client. (“Think of all the engagement opportunities and cost savings!”) Doritos alone has done it, like, four times (make that five!), all your friends did it, and hey, even Tide did it — with reasonably good results.

Besides laziness and balls, what’s keeping you from leaping aboard the Goodship CGM? …A platform,* by gad! Because building grids where users can input their own content and browse through others’ is hard, right?!

Waffle no longer, love. Photrade just launched a photo contest platform that enables anybody (even you!) to follow the well-trod user-generated media trail.

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and start ingratiating your unwitting client with casual photographers. Think of all the engagement opportunities — and cost savings!

Psychology says men over 60 are statistically the most likely to have no close friends — not because they’re bad at relationships, but because an entire generation was taught that needing people was the same thing as weakness

The loneliest version of retirement isn’t the one where nobody calls. It’s the one where you finally have unlimited time to spend with yourself and realize you never actually became someone you wanted to spend time with.

I’m 73 and Christmas stopped meaning what it used to the year I realized I was the only person at the table who remembered the people whose chairs we’d removed — my parents, my sister, my husband’s brother — and everyone else was celebrating a family they thought was complete while I was sitting inside a version that was already half gone
