Amazon Wants You!
Amazon has announced that they want you for their upcoming new television campaign. The ad is part of the “Your Amazon Ad Contest,” contest where you can win $20k in Amazon gift cards.
An Amazon judging panel will review all contest submissions and select five finalists based on:
- Creativity
- Overall appeal
- Likelihood of inspiring viewers to shop with Amazon
Amazon notes “suitable to air to a family audience on a national network.” Apparently they will pick finalists and let viewers pick a winner. One winner the Amazon judges picks will win $10k and the user winner will win $10k as well.
This type of “crowdsourced” ad creation seems to be pretty popular these days. For a small prize, Amazon gets press and interested customers – it’s a smart move. The customers who create videos will also pimp them around providing for even more awareness of the contest and Amazon.
