Be a part of something…

Ever see a problem with a company you just want to fix? Or love a company and just want to get more of it? Well, now you can.

They say social media has given a voice to the people, but we’re taking it to a whole new level. In the past, corporate use of social media has been very reactive: something bad happens with a company you like, so you Tweet about it. Customer service responds...repeat.

We’re flipping that model on its head with Idea Lab—your chance to use social media to tell a brand what you want them to do, how to solve their problems, and how to generally rock out as a company. Gone are the days when a one-time comment disappears into the social networking ether.

Now the power is in your hands. Let your voice be heard! (And did we mention, earn some cash in the process?)
