In a boycott, everyone loses.
In a Carrotmob, everyone wins.

In a Carrotmob campaign, a group of people offers to spend their money to support a business, and in return the business agrees to make an improvement that the people care about. We are called Carrotmob because we use the "carrot" instead of the "stick." We have had over 250 campaigns in over 20 countries. Now, we're working with some of the world's largest brands on Carrotmobs with even larger impacts.

CARROTMOB CHALLENGE

  1. Grow Carrotmob's community. On our homepage, we have a very simple sign up prompt. Whoever can grow our community by the most members (i.e. emails) by the end of the week long challenge will win.
  2. Carrotmob has recently entered into an exploratory agreement with one of the world's largest companies, Unilever. As a part of this, we are sourcing the best ideas for Carrotmobs. Your challenge is this: create the best concept for a global Carrotmob campaign. Any idea is a good idea. Whoever wins will have the opportunity to pitch it to a Unilever executive.
