Process
Develop marketing strategy draft:

Ask core advisors for seeds
Use social media to leverage peer influence

Using social media
announced project, first to turn in, and all
subsequent submissions
gentle, carefully worded reminders and requests
regular bursts of gratitude and excitement
ongoing updates of progress
to be viral:
funny, sexy, irreverent/nasty, gory.
We went with beautiful...very visual.
