Turn Signal Lights for Cyclists by Machina

Today I would like to tell you about a project I found on idea.me which I loved. It is CB V01,a backpack which incorporates weareable technologuto project turn signal lights.

Machina, the company which designed this project, is interesting because it seeks to use technology to impact positively on people’s lives. In this case, it encourages the use of bicycles through technology to promote a sustainable way of life.

Crowdfunding

This project’s financing is very much in line with the technological and innovative model used by Machina. It uses crowdfunding through the idea.me portal. Crowdfunding consists in collecting small donations from a large group of people who are interested in the project, to gather the amount needed to carry out the project. Sometimes incentives to donate include gifting objects whose value is proportionate to the amount donated.

THE FORGOTTEN IMPORTANCE OF BRANDING IN DIGITAL ADVERTISTING

eMarketer’s recent projection that said US Digital Display Ad Spending will Surpass Search Ad Spending in 2016 , led me to think that finally Branding is being given the importance it deserves in digital media.   If we analyze the sources of growth in eMarketer’s projection , these seem to support my assumption.   Video, Sponsorships, and […]
