Seems already a long time ago with for example my Silicon Valley trip and LeWeb in between, but let’s not forget to officially close the Accenture Innovation Awards 2009. Interesting guests + level of innovative concepts beyond expectations = great day.

Silicon Valley trip rocked…
By admin in UncategorizedJust came back from my study trip to Silicon Valley, part of the Executive MBA Cross Media program. Working on a write-up, will post soon. Still needs to sink in. If you look at the schedule we had, you’ll understand

Internet Speeds and Costs around the world
By admin in The internetThrough Dumpert.nl of all places comes this fun graph on the top 20 nations in broadband. Netherlands sort of best of the rest, Korea and Japan look very very attractive. Even more interesting now would be graphs showing the results linked to this differences: education? health care? Entertainment? What do the Japan and Korea people get out of this advantage and should the other countries take notice? My gut says yes, if only for the possibilities.

Inspiration board
By admin in Brand new heroes, Logos, Marketing, Personal, Remarkable, Spotting, UncategorizedAbout 2 years ago I was so fed up with not being able to find a nice piece of ‘art’ for my study, I decided to make one myself. Not so much a Van Gogh as it is an inspiration board, containing visuals on the things surrounding me, inspiring me.
A lot can change in these 24 months. Seth Godin is still a big inspiration, so is Guy and so is Steve. Blogger, Segway and Ebay don’t have the same sparkle they used to have. And hey, no twitter?
I just realized though even more has changed in my brain than in the new media/marketing industry. My view is so much wider and deeper than it was 2 years ago. There are some different things now that inspire me. Not because they’re hot now, but because I see more the deeper movements behind them than I used to. Progress, right?

By admin in Advertising, Branding, Brands, Personal, Remarkable, Spotting, Uncategorized
**This is a repost of Accenture BlogPodium. Full disclosure: I work for Accenture, driving force behind the Zuidas Run**
We had a few beautiful weeks in Amsterdam. Clear blue sky, sun and, consequently, full terraces across town. So you’re organizing the Zuidas Run and dotting the ‘i’s these warm days and naturally think, if only…….

Spinawards dissapoints
By admin in Events, SpottingWell, the party did at least. And not because we went empty handed. The past year we haven’t focussed on the very new and potential-award winning programs. But this is supposed to be THE party for the digital comms industry in NL right? I expected a different experience, with more digital playgrounds, a larger corporate presence and at least a bit of content. Last night was a party for the media world, and felt like any other in that category. Different expectations I guess….. Well as the pics show there were more people who’ve seen this before and either did not show up, or made an early exit.
I’ll be patient and wait for The Next Web.
The ride to the party was the most fun, Vespa racing with Fitzroy agency
Empty dance floor, no dancing
