PRLog -- Pick one of you favorite consumer brands and chances are that the product you bought or the advertising campaign you watched has been developed with creative input from consumers. In fact, 72 of the World’s biggest brands are already co-creating with consumers. Crowdsourcing is a popular method to source creative ideas and content from consumers, eager to express their creativity and to contribute in shaping what their favorite brands offer. But does crowdsourcing really pays-off compared to more traditional ways of developing marketing strategies and collaterals?
eYeka, the market leader in online co-creation, uses crowdsourcing by organizing creative competitions on its platform to source ideas and content from a community of over 260,000 consumer-creators across 150 countries. The company offers a unique model where it accompanies its clients from beginning-to-
end to source and implement consumers’ ideas. Working with its clients and their agencies, eYeka has compiled a selection of case studies that demonstrate what results can be achieved with strategic use of crowdsourcing, and a talented online community:

Rate throughout the campaign (21% for eYeka v. 17.1% for others) and the lowest cost-to-conversion at 54% v. historical average, proving that crowdsourcing with consumers is not only about cost-efficiency but about creating content that truly resonates with the target audience.
