Are you an original thinker? You can quickly find out by taking the Welcome Original Thinkers Quiz (WOTQuiz)—I’m an Adaptor:

“You enjoy exploring every side of an issue and like a wicked great maestro you tease out the positive in each approach. Your resourcefulness and ability to easily adapt to the latest input often makes you the one who finds answers to the most challenging questions.”

What did you get? Please be sure to let me know in the comments.

Kimberly-Clark created a BuzzFeed-inspired quiz to discover their own Original Thinker type and then are rewarded with a new emoji badge suitable for social sharing, as well as an invitation to find out about original thinkers at Kimberly-Clark.

As part of this campaign, my agency, Gerris Corp, is helping Kimberly-Clark get the word out using an extensive and aggressive earned-media micro-influencer marketing campaign in close formation with Kimberly-Clark’s People Strategy department and their AOR, Relish Marketing.

I first worked with Kimberly-Clark back in 2008 to help reduce the spread of healthcare associated infections and, after eight more years, we get to work together again. From HAIWatch to WOTQuiz!

Again, this is a campaign where we’re targeting influencer verticals in order to engage them, share the quick fun quiz with them, and then brief them on what the campaign’s about and why Kimberly-Clark is promoting a personality quiz in the first place.

So far, people are in love with the different types of personality types, including the dreamer, analyzer, disrupter, muse, adaptor, nonconformist, maker, and inventor.

Our goal is the same as the goal of the quiz: get folks to take the quiz, find out their Original Thinker type, and then share their emoji badges via social media, sharing with all their friends via Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Sounds easy, but easier said than done. “If you build it, they will come” never works so we get to be the vanguard of the movement, sparking and catalyzing all viral-making fun!

In support of this campaign, we’ve built a gorgeous Social Media News Release (SMNR)—wotquizinfo.com—the nicest one we’ve ever built for a campaign, and we’ve registered a bespoke domain name, wotquiz.com, to make sure everything is very simple and accessible to anyone we message.

Earned media micro-influencer marketing doesn’t need to be limited to consumer campaigns for unicorn companies like Skinny Coconut Oil. Earned-media micro-influencer marketing works beautifully in the service of hearts and minds campaigns such as quizzes, tests, and polls.

I love my Gerris-branded Join.me but it’s limited in scope. It’s perfect for a virtual meeting, for a conference call, for a screenshare, and in support of a pitch, sales call, demo, or razzle-dazzle. It’s international, there are loads of global local numbers so that people can even call in locally, even if they’re at a cafe in Berlin, so it’s pretty handy and it gets global. But it’s not the right tool for webinars or virtual classrooms. There is GoToWebinar, of course, but the price point sells me a mega-yacht when all I really want is a very lovely and blue sea capable sailboat. Join.me is the boat I tow to the launch but I needed something that I could take on an around-the-world blue water cruise. I don’t need an ocean liner for that and GoToWebinar starts at ocean liner.

ClickWebinar has been the Goldilocks solution for me.  While GTW starts at a minumum of 100 attendees for $79/month billed annually ($99 for month-by-month), ClickWebinar starts you off with only 25 attendees for only $22.50/month billed annually ($30 for month-to-month). If I need more, I upgrade.

In addition, you can brand ClickWebinar white label, allowing me to make it my own. I don’t know if you know this about me, but I have lived around the world and ran a DC-based business from Berlin, German, for a couple years. Like Join.me, ClickWebinar gets global. It’s been developed abroad and is known for its Simultaneous Chat Translation. Simultaneous Chat Translation allows attendees who are not native English-speakers to engage in the conversation via chat using their own language, automagically-detected, with the understanding that their Spanish, German (and 50 others as it uses Google Translate) will go from their native tongue (where they’re their smartest) to your native tongue (where you have the best comprehension).  The reason why it works is that there are a lot of people who may well comprehend English, for example, but might not feel a little shy about participating in English. It’s a very powerful equalizer, both for Q&A and for mutliligual training and support.

Of course, ClickWebinar also has all the other stuff: destop, browser, or presentaiton-sharing, audio & video conferencing, social media sharing, polling, moderated Q&A and chat, and meeting recording. Like Join.me and GoToWebinar, the littler and bigger, the too hard and too soft, the too small and too big, ClickWebinal also offers mobile support via tablet, Android, and iOS devices.

In a perfect world, I would be able to work from anywhere with absolutely anyone. Thank you, Internet. For me, it’s all about finding my Goldilocks solution, finding the solution that’s just the perfect fit for me.  Until now, I only knew about the dinghy and the yacht. It’s good to know that there are quite a few Enterprise-level solutions for the thing that we digital nomads find ourselves doing more and more: taking all of our meetings online, be it via a quick IM, Skype call, conference call, or full-fledged webinar.

For me, it’s all abou the perfect tool tool for the job. Not too big, not too little, but just right.
