Conspiracy For Good - Tim Kring

"A few years ago, I started thinking about an entirely new way to tell a story, far different from traditional TV. I didn't just want to talk about 'saving the world' in fiction, I wanted to create a narrative that spilled out into the streets. One that you could live inside of for a while. How cool would it be, I thought, to create a story that exists all around you all of the time? On your laptop, your mobile phone, on your sidewalks, as a secret message hidden in your favorite song or while standing at the bus stop on your way to work. And, taking it further, what if your participation over a few weeks or months actually impacts the story's development and creates positive change in the real world because a philanthropic mission is integrated into the narrative itself? The Conspiracy For Good is the culmination of this dream. To achieve this, I need you to participate. Nokia. Tim Kring.

Actually, though, that's not the case. On one level, SCVNGR lets people check-in at real-world locations, just as they do in Foursquare. But its raison d'etre is for brands and retailers to build content on top of that, in the form of challenges and treasure hunts - or 'treks'. Among those to recently announce SCVNGR treks are TV firm Showtime - for its drama Dexter - the New England Patriots, and the Boston Globe newspaper. "We spent our first year focusing exclusively on the enterprise market," explains CEO Seth Priebatsch. "It was a critical part of our strategy, but meant we were a little more quiet when it came to consumer-facing news. SCVNGR started life as Priebatsch's project at Princeton University, but has now expanded to a business employing more than 65 people. "Location-based social media has a bifurcated problem though.
