One speech plus a dozen video cameras and a hundred people tweeting live

In early 2011, I delivered a keynote speech about Real-Time Marketing & PR at the Marketing Sherpa Email Summit in Las Vegas.

A dozen people in the audience filmed the talk from different locations and nearly 100 tweeted it live.

I created a crowdsourced video, with inspiration from crowdsourced concert films by Radiohead and the Beastie Boys, to pull everything together to give you a sense of what it was like to be in the audience experiencing the talk in real-time.

Direct link to trailer in widescreen (2 minutes+) is here.

Complete crowdsourced video presentation (50 minutes).

I love applying real-time ideas to create a video about… well… real-time marketing & PR.

I wonder. Is there something you can do like this in your business?

My friends at HubSpot took this idea to create A 4-Step Guide to Producing Crowdsourced Video.

Daniel Burstein of MarketingSherpa blogged it here. Daniel says: "As I said when I introduced David at the Email Summit, we brought him in to help inspire marketers to take a fresh look at how they approach their marketing efforts. And kudos to David for holding himself to the same standard, breaking down the paradigm of what a professional speaker’s video could look like."

Thanks Daniel. This was a blast to do and I'm so happy that I was able to do it at your event.

What an incredible team effort this video was. Over 100 people worked on it. Thank you all so much!

Hi Scott. I'm reading his book "The New Rules of Marketing and Public Relations" and I was quite curious to visit your blog. I'm in the fourth year of PR, Londrina State University and I will do my work Completion of course on social media and its use strategically. I wonder if you could help me with details of books and with some help based on his vast experience. Here my e-mail: paularpcomunica (at) hotmail.com. A big hug.
