What is Croking?
What is Croking?
Croking is a new channel of
communication disrupting the way consumers and brands engage
today. It is a social community of people sharing
experiences & ideas about brands, in a short and simple way.
The more valuable a persons contributions are, the more
valuable they become to the community, thereby increasing
their "influence" in the community. But at the heart of what
makes Croking unique, is that it is very easy to voice your
opinion to any brand and be noticed by leveraging the power
of the community.

Croking has recently been gaining a lot of attention from a New Zealand audience, such as coverage from non-profit organization Conscious Consumers and has raised interest with some New Zealand businesses, such as PAK'nSAVE. The World Fair Trade Organization is also urging their audience to use too, because of the transparency it sheds onto businesses.
What is wrong with social media
today?
Social media today, such as Facebook,
Twitter, is often one way communication from businesses to
consumers, with little regard to the average person who has
a lot to say about businesses. The Croking concept is about
turning the table, and giving people the power to not only
voice their opinions and ideas to businesses, but to help
them become better.
