What is participation marketing?

Younger people especially value experiences more than material possessions. People want to have an access to your brand’s story and make it their own. Participation marketing addresses this need. It uses an approach and elements that differ from other types of (especially traditional) marketing. First of all, it’s customer-focused and personal. You’re figuring out what your customers need and offering a chance to participate on their terms. The process must be engaging and attractive to make it worthwhile for the participants.

‘‘We’ve noticed that collaboration generates results that are based on real hopes and needs.’’

– Mari Savio

The benefits of participatory projects are not limited to increased brand awareness and involvement. Designing engaging and fun ways to interact with customers is a way to probe their needs and dreams more deeply and to collect feedback to improve services and products.

‘‘Participation marketing is the process of engaging customers and employees to roll up their sleeves and co-create goods, services, brands, and promotions.’’

– David Gardner

What is co-creation?

Co-creation means collaborating as peers with a group that would normally be left out of a design or development process. Co-creation opens up this process for your customers and users in a way that is meaningful for all parties.

Working together opens up connections between people and makes the process engaging and effective. It can power the creative process in surprising ways.
