March 2, 2010 8:20 am

San Francisco has selected Brightidea to power its new idea platform aimed to foster ideas from the city’s 26,000 employees. The site is located at ImproveSF.org.

The top idea will be selected for implementation with 10 other high ranking ideas recognized in an event with Mayor Gavin Newsom and get featured on SFGov.org as well as the city’s Facebook page.

“ImproveSF.org will allow the City to tap into valuable ideas from city employees to help solve some of our most pressing issues,” said Newsom. “I encourage employees to submit creative solutions to help balance our budget.”

Brightidea also powers Ireland’s Your Country Your Call campaign.
