    #206 Can You Rent a Crowd?! | Adam Swart of Crowds on Demand

    What do you mean you can hire a crowd?! This week on Brews & Banter, we welcome Adam Swart, founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand, joining us remotely for a fascinating conversation about a business that’s definitely not your everyday 9-to-5! Adam tells us how he built a company that helps clients create attention-grabbing events, publicity stunts, demonstrations, and advocacy campaigns. We get into the business of shaping public attention, how the company got started, and the surprising ways a crowd can change the story.
