Free Pitching is alive and well.

Comments Anyone?






Yes ladies and gents, free pitching is alive and well and endorsed at Business Week. Bruce Nussbaum thought it innovative to do design by inviting 3 design greats (IDEO, Stone Yamashita, and Modernista) to submit magazine concepts for his new Inside Innovation Magazine. Well the main problem is that he paid only the winner and implied the rest of the work as part of his “open-sourced” innovation thinking concept.

His further comments here show him continue to dig his grave by trying to justify what he did and then say Spec Work or Free Pitching is good. Anyway I had my rant and rave there as well and I’m not going to waste any more of my time talking about this here.

In the same spirit of the way this Business Week magazine was concieved, lets NOT boycott it, but read this issue and all issues that come after for free at the book store or magazine stand. Then perhaps then buy the issue that you find the best?

    Commenting Rules: I love reading your comments as it allows me to interact and learn from you. Being critical is fine, giving constructive criticism, even better. However if you are rude, I will delete your comment. Repeat, and I will blacklist you. The world is full of negativity, so I don't need anymore on my blog, which I consider my online home. Would you encourage Neanderthal behavior in your home? Neither would I.

    Finally, please use your personal name or initials and not your business name. By doing the latter, it comes off like spam, and that’s an auto delete. Thank you and I hope you enjoy being part of the conversation!
