Are You a Marketing Wizard?

I may be the President of a successful innovation consultancy. I may have been voted the #1 innovation blogger. But that doesn't make me a skillful marketer of my company's products and services.

I'm not. Which is why I'm reaching out to you.

You see, we've just launched Free the Genie, an exciting online brainstorming tool that sparks powerful, new ideas and solutions -- but... er... our marketing efforts leave something to be desired.

And so... it's contest time!

Ten of you, who submit the best marketing ideas, will win lifetime subscriptions to Free the Genie. The rest of you will get to criticize our selection of the ten winners when we announce them here before the end of the year. Something for everyone!

Winners will be selected in the following ten categories...

WINNERS WILL BE SELECTED FROM THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES

1. Least Expensive
2. Biggest Projected Return
3. Funniest
4. Easiest to Execute
5. Most Bizarre
6. The One My Father Would Have Loved the Most
7. Best Use of Social Media
8. Most Likely to Open Up the European Market
9. Most Likely to Bring World Peace
10. Absolute Worst Idea

You can either post your ideas at the end of this post, as a comment, OR you can email them to info@ideachampions.com

How about have a contest to have people submit their best marketing idea and have a prize for the best ones.
But in order to have somebody submit an idea, have them register their name, email address and perhaps some information on their interests or background.
