How could you not see this typo?

This is a very nasty looking typo. I can’t imagine how BRD accepted this print and how they decided to show it everywhere in different formats. And maybe I should mention this is not local but it has been distributed to all BRD agencies across the country. That capital W is very nasty and it’s [...]

Internet usage – population, users and %

As I was reading my tweets this morning I saw an interesting top shared by @ltaloi. I wasn’t quite satisfied with the hierarchy so I did some additional research and I came up with this top (although I am sure that others have done this before me ) ). I searched the wikipedia for an [...]

“Bancomatul Airbites” – an ATM that delivers free internet!

About six weeks ago, during “Zilele Marketerului 2008″ I was talking with my friends Loredana and Raluca from Airbites about a new challanging unconventional campaign that they were planning to start. They couldn’t decide on what agency to use and what touchpoints. I remember them mentioning something about Claudiu‘s Wunderkid and I told them it [...]

I have a dream.

Yes, I do. I dream about the time when people will start appreciating marketing and its true apport to what ROI means for any business.

Saptamana patimilor 3.0 just ended!

I have just finished evaluating my students’ projects and have posted the results on their portal and groups. Some of them are very likely to be unsatisfied and most of them hate me right now. But, there has to come a time like this in everyone’s life. And now my thoughts. 1. This semester I [...]

Dacia Logan is in fact a worldwide succes.

I knew Renault was selling the romanian model on a lot of markets under it’s own brand but today I found out from Alex via twitter that it’s also marketed under the Nissan umbrella in Mexico. The name is Nissan Aprio (sound a lot better than Logan – which they say stands for low-megane) and [...]

Is internet marketing worth it?

This is a post more like an answer to my friend Ciprian who challenged me to express my opinion about internet marketing and its efficiency. Well, as you probably observed I chose a diffrent question to answer and I did that because in his post Cip was saying that due to the use of KPIs [...]

Sometimes the only one you have to beat is yourself!

Here’s a commercial that I found on my friend’s Razvan blog. It seems that these days my lack of inspiration makes me show stuff from other people’s blogs but I think it’s a pretty goo example of what a USP should sound like. I mean, c’mon, Volkswagen’s tradition of developing new models for its old [...]

Heineken – serving the world.

Just received this commercial on my yahoo messenger from Adi. Nice one. Thought of sharing it with you. It is surprisingly diffrent and I like it. Heineken has always been my favourite beer but since lately I haven’t been drinking it so much I’ve almost forgotten the great commercials that it has. So here goes! [...]

Lefrumarin – sounds like seafood but it’s not!

This winter vacation, as you probably already know I was in Moieciu. For those of you who don’t know where that is … maybe Bran sounds more familiar. Well, during my time there I couldn’t help not noticing a brand with a name that sounded a bit strange. I am talking about LeFruMarin. First time, [...]
