Loudsauce

Loudsauce is the first streamlined crowd-funding advertising platform that allows for general viewers and consumers to contribute small amounts of personal capital online to amplify favorable advertisements across mainstream media in the world. For the first time, funders will socially be able to choose meaningful advertising collateral that they prefer to see via traditional mediums such as television, billboards, magazines etc. By contributing a minimum of $15, funders can join fellow supporters in raising funds in efforts to drive specific ad messages out beyond their social networks onto mainstream channels, therefore broadening and deepening the ultimate impact on a mainstream audience.

Colin Mutchler, Co-Founder

Colin has spent his entire career exploring how digital media can influence behavior and transform culture. After leading online efforts at Listen Up!, the nation’s premiere youth media organization, Colin completed his MBA at INSEAD in France and Singapore. Colin helped lead the global Nokia account for R/GA, Ad Age’s Digital Agency of the Decade. He is now applying his digital expertise towards promoting social enterprise, through both LoudSauce and his work at brand innovation firm Addis Creson.

Writing and performing since 1999, Colin Mutchler’s spoken word and music have contributed to the growth of open source creativity. He is one of the early Creative Commons success stories, and has been highlighted as a “Featured Commoner.” His acclaimed multimedia “Free Culture Tour” has been featured at colleges and conferences nationwide, including Duke University and SXSW Interactive. Colin’s voice has inspired more than 150 remixes, and as a result he released “Premixed,” the first album collaboratively (and legally) produced by “the commons” via members of the remix community ccMixter.org.
