April 29th - KHBO
Posted on 25. Mar, 2009 by Tom.
Just a quick note to tell you that we’re coming to KHBO April 29th. It looks like it’s going to be a fun presentation again for some marketing & communication students. Would be great if some of the Artevelde students who’ve seen the presentation in the first place can tell us what we can do to improve. So let us hear it, use your voice, communicate,… What did you think about the content, the slides, the presentation? Should we be doing more of something or less of something else?

First ever ROCK + ROLL marketing presentation
Posted on 20. Mar, 2009 by Tom.
Big kick-off day today… first ever ROCK+ROLL MARKETING presentation at Artevelde Hogeschool Ghent. It was great to test our presentation before a large audience and experience some feedback of what we were doing. It might sound like the biggest cliche around, but we were nervous as hell to stand before you.
Award for best question asked: “Don’t you think you’ll scare people away by that (ROCK+ROLL) kind of marketing?”.
Basically… we hope we do, because we don’t like the other kind. It should be fun. You’ll be doing this stuff for 40 years… you’d be an idiot if you don’t love what you do. Find ways to make it fun. And if it doesn’t, it’s not the right place for you (or the right profession). And there’s no shame in that… just find your way to have fun, to make it ROCK+ROLL.
Anyway, as promised… the slides, download them here… it’s a Dutch version. The English version will be up tomorrow. (We’re still new at this speaking and uploading stuff, so give us some credit) If people are interested. We’re going to make a very very short version of this presentation for Barcamp Antwerp called “How to screw things up at Kursaal Oostende”.
Don’t know what Barcamp is? Google it!
Don’t know if there’s still room for you? Google it!
Because we know you have plenty of other stuff to do, we’ll do some things for you. The next few days you can expect a bibliography of this presentation with some excerpts. Our biographies (should be fun writing them) and a short history of Kursaal Oostende. (very short) If you need anything else (except one of us taking your finals), you’ll find out that we’re very approachable, contact us anytime.
Thought of the week: “There’s no such thing as having a bad idea, there’s only having no ideas.”
