Co-Creation Chums

Last Friday, 24 custom products companies banded together to advertise on facebook for one day to get  awareness about the co-creation/design your own/custom or personalized products movement! It was a flash mob ad campaign!

The masterminded behind this was Carmen, CEO of Chocri (custom chocolate) who rounded us up with this idea of invading Facebook.  Our hope was to get people talking about the idea after seeing ads all day such as:

For more details: Entrepreneur Magazine talked to Carmen last week: Mass Customizers Hope for 8 Million Facebook Impressions.

And of course the coolest part - these were all the companies who participated:
