The AMV BBDO Police case was steeling the show at The Guldnyckeln Award

Published by on mars 25, 2011

Yesterday I attended The Guldnyckeln Award arranged by SWEDMA (Swedish Direct Marketing Association). The day was sold out and full of inspiring speakers but I have to say that speaker Tom White, Strategic Director AMW BBDO was stealing the show with their award winning case for the Police in UK. The campaign was targeting attitudes regarding knife crime. They found the key success factor – getting young people to think before they act. It was so well executed that the whole campaign felt criminal (in a good way).

Another speaker that made success was Tomas Bennich fonder of Sweden mobile association, who fueled us up with his passion for mobile marketing with good cases as Babycarrots.com and iButterfly.

The Swedish agency Pool won the most prestigefull prices of this evenings award. Maybe they should work with the Swedish POOLice?

Guy Kawasaki´s book Enchantment is destroying resistance

Published by on mars 14, 2011

Guy Kawasaki is one of the best practitioners of social media. In other words he is an extremely social person who knows how to extend his personality to become social online. After reading this new book Enchantment I understand that he also is an expert in “destroying resistance” – his personality is really hard to not to like. In this book he explains how corporations as Apple tapped into that unique likability.

Unique personalities often has a unique feeling of what is working and not. Guy and Steve Jobs are two of them. In the book Guy reveals a lot of his unique mindset and let readers understand how they can use this “uniqueness” to create success in their own life and business.

Some of the best points in Guy Kawasaki´s book Enchantment:
• Bring people to your story.
• The goal is likability–not superiority.
• Push technology brings your story to people. Pull technology brings people to your story.

Some of the best expressions in the book:
• Prepare for a marathon, not a sprint.
• Remember that nobodies are the new somebodies!
• Build an Ecosystem.
• Fresh and relevant.

Be well, do good, and kick butt.
Guy Kawasaki, Enchantment

The above expression says the rest. I also learned some Japanese words as “bakatare” which means “stupid” which is the opposite of Guy Kawasaki´s unique personality. His talent for destroying resistance got over 19.000 people to recommending Enchantment on Facebook (including me).

Enchantment is a popular Business / Psychology book written by Guy Kawasaki. Enchantment, as defined by the writer, is the process of delighting people with a product, service, organization or idea. The outcome of enchantment is voluntary and long-lasting support that is mutually beneficial.

iPad + Boeing = Will make Apple iFly high

Published by on mars 9, 2011

Just had a long distance flight and got bored so I turned on the moviescreen on the seat infront of me. I Could not get the movie to start from the beginning, so I asked the stewardess for help. Her response was: “it is the last trip we are doing with the airplane – when we reach our destination today we will turn this airplane into scrap.” I have to say that was funny.
But I could not stop thinking of other newer options for aircraft computer entertainment. Old airplanes feels much more out of date especially when the inside looks old and unsafe – it need to be as updated as other parts our digital life.

Why is not Boeing working with Apple and install iPad´s in every seats?
It will save Boeing millions and make their aircraft entertainment edgy. That will make long distance flights feel like short distance. Consumers will spend so many hours with their iPad that they will get addicted to play with it. For Apple it means they will lift their sells even higher than what Steve Jobs can manage to do. They can sell computers, music and movies above all other retailer in the world!
Benefits for Boeing is that it will save them money as well as create new income by making Apple their partner. Also it will be easy for them to update their aircrafts by just change from iPad 2 to 3 or 10 in the future.

They could make a start webpage with the airflight brand and Apps for Boeing (why not make people in the airplane redesign it in 3D at 10.000 feet up in the air?).

Other commercial partners in the iPads/iFly: games – EA, cars – Hertz, eBooks – Amazon and Barns and Nobel and offcourse traveling advertisement etc.

If all this is done it could lead to a problem: people don´t want to leave the airplane.
If Apple don´t iFly high with iPad 2 maybe Samsung Tab will make this idea fly in the sky?

Scuba divers research goes deeper

Published by on mars 4, 2011

It has been a lifelong dream to discover the marine life.
Finally I got my scuba diver certification (PADI degree).

It means I can go deeper with my research, than ever before.
Nature is unbelievable beautiful but at the same time so fragile. It is a bit scary to hear divers discuss where in the world there is any marine life left to dive in (nice water with nothing in it does not make divers exited). Do post some photos from dives I have done this week (there was some marine life left…).

Thanks to my trainers who were more patience with me than Barracudas is with divers.
