Little Lot

Little Lot started from a simple but clever idea – that people would give up their computer desktops as an advertising space in exchange for an ongoing charitable donation that didn’t cost them anything. The original team of Dave, Steve, Nelson and Bennor decided this was an idea worth acting on, and on April 11th 2012 Donate Your Desktop went live. They’ve come a long way since then –a rebrand (thanks to Chilli), better technology, more charities, bigger team and a new purpose. Donate Your Desktop was focused on using technology to help charity – but Little Lot is aimed on changing how you connect with the brands you love and give back to the causes you care about.

The Little Lot experience is awesome and now includes an Android app. You’ll get new wallpapers each day from brands that match your profile. You get to rate these wallpapers, and over time they’ll learn what you like and make sure you get more of it (think Pandora or Spotify). They’ll throw in a mix of charity content too, so you can keep up-to-date with what your favourite cause is doing and how your efforts are helping.

We asked Erica McQueen of the Little Lot team a few questions on what keeps her going from day to day.

The title on my business card is… Content Manager

Which really means…Sending emails all day, trying to get some content to manage. I look after what wallpapers go out each day and try to keep up with all the social medias! Pinterest is my favourite.

My day starts with…Food! Off to work. (drive, bus, walk). then checking emails.

I’m inspired by…Anything creative. Simple beauty. Nature. People. Definitely people. And their stories.

I can’t live without…Music. My camera. Being able to create. Books.

True ‘style’ is…Simple. Effortless. Refined. Not me.

My work in three words is…Emails. Emails. Emails.

Being part of Little Lot still costs you nothing, and you’ll be making a genuine difference to the world. Help them show that a lot of littles add up to a lot.
