Pitch @ 25'000 ft

Richard Branson is now fronting a new campaign to get entrepreneurs involved in pitching their new business ideas to people whilst they fly. This sounds strange, definitely sounds 'Branson' style, the idea involves people uploading their business ideas to a section of the virgin website. The most voted vid's will then be played to business flyers, who can then get in contact with the people if they like the business plan.

Interesting... Definitely. Realistic... Not so sure.


One (of many I'm sure they'll come across) problem; Mental Capital, who can vet the system to make sure there is no ideas stealing.

    I see the point in the idea; captive audience, experiencing the brand first hand right at that second, but how many people are going to actually bother watching the PitchTV channel, instead of Friends re-runs or Finding Nemo lol..or devouring their suction-packed shepherd's pie or oogling over the Virgin Atlantic ladies who apparently are "still red hot". Nice idea, like you said, I question the reality of it.

    How pissed off would you be if you saw your idea being made an international brand and all you have to back yourself up is "but he must have seen my pitch on the virgin pitch channel!" scary thought...

    think we are all on the same page! Nice... but realistically not that that great in reality. Not a big winner for the branson brand! im sure they'll be a few wollys that do it tho!
