Hallo© Assignment 2012

‘Collaborative consumption’ is the new economic model. Initiatives for sharing, swapping, bartering, trading, renting, donate are the order of the day and the counterpart of ‘ownership’. Not only international and digital (e-Bay, Marktplaats, Zopa Social lending, Couch surfing, Event ticket sharing, Car Sharing), but also in your own neighbourhood, district and village.

 

In times of crisis, people are more creative. People will increasingly provide their own life and see the opportunities close to home. The old market behaviours are reinvented. In the city of Rotterdam, opposite ‘the Rotterdam Roofpark’, the people of the opposing area cultivate their own fruits and vegetables and benefit together from the proceeds. In Amsterdam ‘urban farmers’ are active on brown field sites. In some areas you can even swap tools. Based on the idea that it is nonsense that every household has a hammer drill. Also, clothing exchange and borrowing is becoming increasingly popular.

Besides saving money, there is another important advantage. The communication between enhanced. This creates a pleasant living environment. Thus, the loneliness of people is broken in natural way. Thus, we move from a ‘me’ society back to collective responsibility.

‘Everything is an opportunity’, as we say at Hallo©. We believe in the possibilities of opportunity seeking. The above-mentioned, opens up a great many opportunities. It is up to you to see and grab these opportunities.

 

The brief

Immerse yourself in the life of city neighbourhood. Identify what one is doing in various areas. Take an average intercultural street in an average neighbourhood. Observe how people interact. Are the singles ignored? Are laptop and flat screen the greatest friends? Is there much mutual irritation? Do people feel imprisoned in their 65-m2 apartments? Describe it to yourself. Read also ‘What’s Mine is Yours’ from the authors Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers. Use the information as inspiration. Think of a new initiative, a new product or a new service, with the primary aim to get people out of their isolation and continue to look beyond their own front door. Or create a campaign to stimulate ‘sharing things’. Indicate the target/taste group. What will you promise them? Describe your concept. Explain why it is a smart concept. Give it a name. Consider a sender. Visualize your concept. How does the communication look like? Take the chance. Be as original as possible. Think upside down. Good luck!
