Challenge Details
The primary goal of this challenge is to design marketing material in the form of a business card or postcard to be given away at a conference - promoting Crowdsourcing, and Appirio's Idea - Vision - Prototype business model. 
We have a team at the conference who are available to provide expert insights and answering any questions about innovation on the Salesforce platform, tapping into On-demand talent through our Crowdsourcing platform, App Development, Salesforce for HR, Analytics and Wave, as well as providing an exclusive networking opportunity with other innovative leaders.

Appirio is a Global Salesforce.com Premier Partner, has helped 2M people at 500 enterprises move to the cloud, has a Crowdsourcing Community of over 800,000+ experts, focused on development, design and data science. We’ve been recognised by the World Economic Forum, Gartner, Wall Street Journal, Forrester and many others. 

There are two contests being run at this event by Appirio - which allow participating people to have a go at using the community to build their ideas - we need you to design these cards promoting these contests - and inviting people to come converse with the team.

Design Considerations:
- This is a two-sided card, which is about promoting and explaining "Crowdsourcing”.
- We would prefer it at Business card size - but in case you feel a larger space is required, 
- Each side has a different contest for the event participants - they should see these and be encouraged to visit and engage with the Appirio representatives
The card should be interesting, exciting visually appealing, and must engage the target audience!

- We want these designs to look FUN! so that people are tempted to come over and talk to Appirio representatives, and participate in these contests
