ASER for example has 70 members. They should be the drivers for change. They should promote the brand values trough everything they do. A little bit of <em>lead by example</em>.</p><p>It&#8217;s easier to reach 70 smaller communities trough opinion leaders then by shouting you message in every direction. But where do you start? How do you set your objectives when it comes to brand communication?</p><p>Always start small. You now have 20 people that trust you and believe in what you stand for. Grow that number to 40. They are your brand ambassadors and they have great value online.</p><p>Now I want to hear from you? What is your magic number? How many people do you want to convert to your <a

They get the work done and make you happy. You get to show off some great products or results, and that&#8217;s that. But sometimes things go wrong, not because anyone wants them to, but because they just do. And you have to start over with a new agency. You send out requests for proposal and you wait for a response. But how much work do you really put into this documents? Do you have any idea how much they can break or make a project?</p><p>Yesterday I was in a meeting, most of the day, with a government organization, here in Romania. They are trying to make a shift not only in what they do online, but also in the way they perceive the online space. It got me thinking. <strong>When you choose an agency where do you start from?</strong> What do you look for? When you choose a technical one it gets even harder! For example:</p><p>1. If you don&#8217;t have a <strong>template</strong> for the offer you expect to receive, you will receive offers drawn up in all sorts of ways: excel, template, word, print, hardcover or digital. You will have to try and find the differences and the similitude while also trying to be objectives in the choices you make.</p><p>2. If you don&#8217;t have<strong> specific requests</strong> for certain tasks how will you be able to evaluate them? For a simple task like &#8220;The website has to run on an Open Source CMS&#8221; you could get two different answers, both in a different price range. WordPress or Drupal? How do you know which one is better for you?</p><p>3. When you ask for SEO services, tell the agency <strong>what you are thinking of</strong>. SEO for example could be a basic set of simple tasks or could be a full on-going strategy. What do you need right now. Don&#8217;t let them guess, because most of the time they&#8217;ll get it wrong.</p><p>Avoid all this and eventually you&#8217;ll be throwing less money out the window. I&#8217;m not trying to tell you it&#8217;s impossible to pick the right agency for the job, what I&#8217;m saying is that you should me more careful about the little details that could make your life so much easier.</p><pre> image (c) <a href="http://www.greenbuildinglawupdate.com/">http://www.greenbuildinglawupdate.com</a></pre>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/break-or-make-a-project.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>From Social Media to Content Marketing</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/from-social-media-to-content-marketing.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/from-social-media-to-content-marketing.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:33:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[content marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Radio Station]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <guid

title="Radio21" href="http://www.radio21.ro/site/home/">Radio 21</a>&#8216;s head-quarters. It was one of the best experiences I had as a trainer so far and I wanna thank all the guys (and girls) there for a great time.</p><p>The session started as usual with everybody talking about their past experience and the objectives they were trying to achieve trough this learning opportunity. Myself included. I got to know their marketing policy and the way a radio station operates.</p><p>I started the discussion focusing on social media interactions and community building, with high regard to what you can and should measure when calculating return on investment. But all this lead to a pressing argument about content relevance and how interested the user actually is in what you have to say.</p><p>They learned about content planning and content marketing, different types of approach to the same piece of content and ways to generate reactions.</p><p>All this effort culminated around the user and around his need of &#8220;belonging&#8221; to a certain group. How you talk to them, how you regard them and how and when you start a dialogue.</p><p>Everybody was fascinated by the way everything fit into place and of the clear overall picture that the training brought among the marketing team.</p><p>A question still remains for me, though. When promoting a radio station what comes first? The music or the DJs? It&#8217;s a question that has been bugging me ever since I worked with KissFM over at <a

This wine is an ideal starting point to explore the fabulous wines of Concha y Toro, Chile.</p><p>The color of the wine is a dark, ruby red with aromas of cherries and blackberries. This Cabernet Sauvignon is very concentrated, rich in flavor, perfectly balanced, and boasts a satisfying and lingering finish.</p><p>Frontera is just one of the many brands produced by Chile’s Concha Y Toro. The Concha Y Toro history begins in 1883 when local politician and businessman, Don Melchor Concha Y Toro introduced French Bordeaux grapevines to the Pirque region in Maipo Valley.</p><p>Frontera wines are named after the four natural frontiers that protect our lush, sun-drenched vineyards. The Atacama Desert in the north, ice-fields of Patagonia in the south, the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean to the west and the imposing Andes Mountains in the east.</p><p>The wine company now exports to more than 130 countries and is one of South America’s largest wine companies. The uses wine estates located throughout the region providing for diverse soil and diverse climate conditions. This allows the company to have a wide array of wine varieties in the Chilean wine industry.</p><p>This large producer, one of the most popular imported brands in the U.S., offers a full range of wines, from everyday to cellarworthy. The quality standard is reliable and pricing is friendly. For the volume, quality is high, as the wines are fresh, clean and well-made. At the entry level, Concha y Toro&#8217;s wines can be great value.</p><div>It&#8217;s definitely not one of my favorite wines but for it&#8217;s price is a good wine. I couldn&#8217;t find any food recombination that go with it, so I guess it&#8217;s great for a quiet night of chattering with friends.</div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/frontera-cabernet-sauvignon-2010.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Content strategy in 6 crazy-simple steps</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/content-strategy-in-6-crazy-simple-steps.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/content-strategy-in-6-crazy-simple-steps.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 14 Feb 2012 07:32:03 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

I just try to stay away from the snow and keep warm. I also discovered a new vanilla tea from Twinings which goes great with the &#8220;long winter nights&#8221;. Ok. I what i want to discuss today is your ability to get inside your client&#8217;s head.</p><p>You aren&#8217;t always the supplier. Most of the times you play the role of the client and you&#8217;re pretty good at it. You are demanding, you sometimes make irrational choices and most of the time you let yourself be susceptible to advertising.</p><p>So if you&#8217;ve seen life trough the eyes of the customer so many times why don&#8217;t you act on it. You know the questions. You know the misconceptions. You&#8217;ve heard the myths. Find these in your product or niche market.</p><p>Imagine you are selling cars. More than half of your clients won&#8217;t know what horse power is or does. Almost all of them won&#8217;t know what &#8220;1998cc&#8221; means. What they want from you is the benefits. &#8220;What can I do with it and why is yours different?&#8221; But please be smart about it.</p><p>This is a great way to start your content strategy. After that, focus on the negative aspects, be fair. Tell people a story and let you content take them trough the decision process. Be patient and take time to explain and answer questions.</p><p>Compare this approach to what you are doing now. See any difference?</p><pre>image (c) <a href="http://www.public-domain-photos.com/">http://www.public-domain-photos.com</a></pre>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/get-inside-your-clients-head.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The X-Files</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/the-x-files.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/the-x-files.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:30:44 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

I enjoy the mystery and the unexplained, but most of all I like the mythology of the show. The story behind all 9 seasons. The government plot, the CIA, NSA and all the other agencies. What Scully and Mulder end up doing is going around in circles trying the find a purpose for their work, a deeper meaning.</p><p>I can&#8217;t help but wonder if not all marketing managers today are doing the same thing, running around between PPC, CPM, GRP, ROI etc. They seem disoriented, they seem like they&#8217;ve lost control. And this is going on for quite a bit now.</p><p>Have you seen this? It&#8217;s the worst kind of work related stress. Losing all purpose. If you find yourself in this scenario please stop. Take two steps back and three deep breaths. Relax!</p><p>You are at a crossroads. Either you carry on the same path and see at some point everything collapse around you or you decide to take action. Why don&#8217;t you start thinking about your clients? What would they expect from your product? Why not talk to them directly?</p><p>Try figuring out o path that can help your client get from he is now to where he wants to be. Find the shortest way that also complements you business goals. But always start from your client not from your sales target or profitability target.</p><p>From here you can set up tactics and SMART objectives that can and should include a pro-business thinking pattern. Analyze your steps along the way and rethink the final goal if for some reason clients change their attitude.</p><p>I think I&#8217;m making this sound to theoretical. Let me give you some examples. Why send out a newsletter if you clients don&#8217;t have access to email where they work. Why spend money on TV ads when your potential clients are getting their info from the Internet. Why try to build a great distribution network in retail stores when your clients are doing all the shopping online. If it&#8217;s working for others it dosen&#8217;t necessarily mean it will work for you too. Get the point?</p><p>And finally my personal example of a goal: at the end of the year my customers should be happy about their online presence, about the results they have and ultimately thank me. This is what I hope to achieve in 2012. How about you?</p><p>Last but not least the guy in the picture above is &#8220;Cancer Man&#8221;. A well known character from the series. He portraits the government and symbolizes the worthless result of hours of work.  You don&#8217;t want to meet this guy, you should&#8217;t meet this guy. But it&#8217;s all up to you to act now.</p><pre>image (c) <a href="http://media.paperblog.fr/i/258/2582093/cancer-series-tv-americaines-L-2.jpeg">http://media.paperblog.fr/</a></pre>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/the-x-files.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Rosso di Sicila &#8211; La Mura &#8211; 2009</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/rosso-di-sicila-la-mura-2009.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/rosso-di-sicila-la-mura-2009.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:50:30 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rosso Di Sicilia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Wine]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Wine Collection]]></category> <guid

I started collecting wines with no specific reason in mind but in grew on me. Some wines I tasted and liked, some are received as gifts and some are &#8220;stolen&#8221; from my father&#8217;s cellar. </em></p><p><em>I don&#8217;t pretend to be an expert on wines but with these articles I&#8217;ll try to show you some of the research I&#8217;ve done on my collection. I think of it more as an exercise for my self to keep reading, but as long as you find it interesting I would love your feedback.</em></p><p>My first taste of La Mura was as 2008 Bianco Organic. I had a few glasses with some friends over a plate of seafood pasta. After a few months i discovered in stores &#8220;Rosso di Sicilia&#8221;. The wine has a soft fruity taste packed with red berry fruit and cherry flavors. Perfect with pasta.</p><p>I started reading more about it and found out some incredibly interesting stuff. It seems that by nature of its climate and soils, Sicily is an ideal organic grape production region. An abundance of sunshine and sandy soils allow for the perfect micro climate for the grapes to thrive.</p><p>La Mura wines represent the best winemaking traditions in the area. Not only are Natura Sicilia wines made from organically grown grapes, but also tremendous care is taken throughout the entire production process to ensure the environmental impact is minimized.</p><p>The grapes are hand harvested from the certified organic, hillside vineyards of the Marsala and Salemi areas. Upon de-stemming, the grapes are softly bladder pressed and fermented in a controlled environment. Remontage, or pump over, ensures full extraction of the wonderful flavors and color.</p><p>Lamura’s Rosso di Sicilia is great Italian table wine, uncomplicated and heartfelt, from a place and a culture, and all the more delicious for it.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/rosso-di-sicila-la-mura-2009.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Starting a business</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/starting-a-business.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/starting-a-business.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:46:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business Plan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business Skills]]></category> <guid

You finally get to do the things you love and do them by your standards.And you leave your job, and you get right to it, and you make the best stuff you can. You are proud of your work and everything feels great. Than you realize that the cash flow is not how you&#8217;d imagine it.</p><p>That is the first moment you understand that there has to be some one in charge. The moment when passion is not enough and business skills are needed. So you leave everything for a while and concentrate on your business to be. You create financial forecasts, a clear business plan and define your target market.</p><p>I hate this part of the process but I&#8217;ve come to realize that it&#8217;s the only thing that can get me trough the harsh times. Your passion, my passion, has to be planned like a business if it is to support our living standards. Other wise it&#8217;s a hobby. And a very expensive one too.</p><p>So if you know anybody starting a business these days give this 3 step solution:</p><ol><li>Leave the hobby behind.</li><li>Start building a business.</li><li>Return to the passion of doing things after everything is set up.</li></ol><p>I would love to hear your thoughts on this? Can you start something just out of passion with no regard for the business part?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/starting-a-business.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>5</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Enjoy the sunrise</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/enjoy-the-sunrise.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/enjoy-the-sunrise.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:34:11 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bigger Picture]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business Success]]></category> <guid

I myself have been there for the last couple of months. Waking up and jumping at my smartphone, checking emails, trying to find some order in the chaos. I was worried that my plans would not succeed. I was micro-managing everything. And it was not the solution.</p><p>When you have to lunch a new product or service what do you have in mind? Yourself? The potential client? The problem it solves? I always wonder why it is so hard to focus on the actual result.</p><h2><strong>You, the business owner</strong></h2><p>Most often you think to much regarding the actual product / service lunch that you forget the bigger picture. You get so involved, like myself, in the little details that you care not to look at what&#8217;s happening at a bigger scale right now. Thisis the momement you have the biggest chance of failure. This is the single momemnt when you care more abut the color / lights / texture etc. than of what your customers are hoping to receive.</p><p>And that&#8217;s a shame. Because you are the only one that get&#8217;s to really interact with the customer, you are the only one that can provide real insight into what the product should be about. Let others focus on the little details. You are the &#8220;mastermind&#8221; here.</p><p>Stop for a second and look beyond the unimportant stuff, remember why your heart was in this in the first place. This kind of clear perspective can and will bring success in the long run.</p><h2><strong>They, the marketing agencies</strong></h2><p>They have the best intentions when it comes to your product. They really do. But they have so many other clients, so many other projects that they too forget to enjoy life, to do the little things. They are probably the best at what they do. But they forgot one thing along the way: how to relate.</p><p>They don&#8217;t understand the little problems because they don&#8217;t have them anymore or they learned to ignore them. When they try to give an opinion it&#8217;s mostly based on their own lifestyle. They are the ones that should be looking at the client and from the client&#8217;s perspective. But more and more they choose their own.</p><p>You have to bring them on track every time and advise them every step of the way. And even if you can do that and you do a fine job, you shouldn&#8217;t. They should be you partner and ease your journey not make it even harder. What you have to do in this case is to learn to use their knowledge and ignore their prejudice. And this can become overwhelming at times.</p><h2><strong>Me, the consultant</strong></h2><p>I come into play somewhere in the middle of all this.  I help you succeed in finding that bigger picture. I help you audit the agency&#8217;s work and most of all i help you measure the success of all the activities. I show you how they all come together dictating your business success or failure.  I am not a magician. I don&#8217;t make a bad business work. But I can show you where you got it wrong.</p><p>Maybe the next day you will wake up looking at the sunrise, knowing that you business is coming right on track. Maybe you will once again enjoy the little things and find that magic feeling that drove you into business in the first place.</p><pre>image (c) <a href="http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-wallpapers/1206.html">http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-wallpapers/1206.html</a></pre>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/enjoy-the-sunrise.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Kindle Fire in Romania</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/kindle-fire-in-romania.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/kindle-fire-in-romania.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 25 Nov 2011 03:32:07 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

You know them best, you can offer the fastest reaction to any type of comment and you can benefit the most from direct feedback.</p><p>When do you request the help of  an agency?

Mi se pare impresionant ritmul in care au crescut. Am urmarit activitatea lor pe social media inca de la inceput si acum ca au ajuns la 34.000 de fani (pe facebook) vor fi interesant de vazut reactiile de dupa lansare.</p><p>Am citit fiecare numar si desi nu am apreciat toate articolele publicate e de laudat efortul pe care il depun pentru fiecare noua aparitie.

The media may include any mass media outlets, such as newspaper, television, radio, and the Internet, and may include a variety of formats, such as news articles or shows, letters to the editor, editorials, andpolls on television and the Internet. (sursa: <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_media">wikipedia</a>)</em></p><p>Daca tu imi spui pe site-ul tau ca produsul pe care il vinzi e cel mai bun de pe piata e <em>Owned Media</em>. Daca imi afisezi un banner in care imi spui acelasi lucru e <em>Paid Media</em>. In schimb, daca eu vin si spun ca produsul tau e cel mai bun produs folosit de mine atunci asta e <em> </em><em>Earned Media</em>.</p><p><img

Personal nu as include atat de mult acest subiect in strategia de marketing cat in cea de PR.</p><p>Cand vine vorba de parerea clientilor tai pe interent decat sa urmaresti cateva obiective punctuale, cel mai des si alea de vanzari, mai important mi se pare sa poti gestiona situatiile critice. Avand in vedere ca lipseste controlul e nevoie de reactii rapide. Departamentul de PR poate cel mai bine sa monitorizeze si sa influenteze astfel de reactii, fie ele pozitive sau negative. O strategie de risc aici e mult mai importanta decat o strategie de marketing. Si chiar daca cele doua nu se exclud deseori prima este trecuta cu vederea.</p><p>Si atunci unde intra marketingul in joc? In momentul in care ia toate aceste reactii si le foloseste in comunicare, in momentul in care renunta sa mai vorbeasca despre produse si lasa parerea clientilor sa iasa in fata. Iar in graficul de mai sus la intalnirea celor trei se afla echilibrul care iti va aduce rezultatele asteptate.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/earned-media-un-concept-la-moda.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Fidelizarea cleintilor si cresterea vaznarilor</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/fidelizarea-cleintilor-si-cresterea-vaznarilor.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/fidelizarea-cleintilor-si-cresterea-vaznarilor.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2011 13:34:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Clienti]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marketing Online]]></category> <guid

Nu neaparat discount-uri, dar macar o comunicare constanta cu ei. Ma gandeam aseara ca nu trebuie sa fie foarte greu sa poti gestiona 1000 sau 2000 de contacte. Daca acesti oameni au fost interesati macar o data de o comunicare de a ta.</p><p>Cateva mailuri trimise pe an. Un mail de &#8220;sarbatori fericite&#8221; sau de &#8220;la multi ani&#8221;. O oferta sepciala pentru ei bazata pe o segmentare atenta. Sunt doar cateva din ideile care ar putea da rezultate. E mult mai usor sa pastrezi o relatie cu un om care ti-a dat un mail sau un numar de telefon decat sa comunici catre noi si noi persoane.</p><p>O strategie similara poate functiona si pe baza de date actuala de clienti. Clienti care pe termen lung pot face noi achizitii sau pot deveni ambasadori ai produselor sau serviciilor tale.

Problema nu cred ca se mai pune cum aduni fani / followeri / prieteni in jurul prezentei tale in social media.

title="Metromind" href="http://www.facebook.com/Metromind" target="_blank">site-ul agentiei</a>. Un site a carui lansare o asteptam de aproape un an a venit ca o surpriza, mai ales ca domeniul redirecteaza catre <b>Facebook</b>. Ceea ce mi se pare o miscare indrazneata.</p><p>Evident ca exista beneficii si dezavantaje ale acestei decizie si o sa incerc sa trec un pic prin toate. Sunt sigur ca ei le-au luat in considerare, dar as vrea sa va arat cum trebuie privita o astfel de hotarare cand esti o companie mica.</p><p>Site-ul are marele dezavantaj a faptului ca dureaza mult implementarea. In afara de asta, un client va avea intotdeauna dorinta sa includa cat mai multe functionalitati in site-ul lui, asta crescand evident timpul pana la lansare.  Plus ca dupa ce l-ai lansat trebuie sa incepi sa trimiti trafic catre el, trafic care nu va veni organic si care la inceput se poate dovedi costisitor.</p><p>Daca alegi varianta cu pagina de <i>Facebook</i>, scazi in mod singur timpul de implementare. Plus ca nu trebuie sa iti mai pui problema traficului, bazandu-te pe un cat de mic efect de viralitate generat de platforma. Daca 10 prieteni iti dau &#8220;like&#8221; mesajul va ajunge la inca 100 de oameni. Aici vei mai gasi inca 10 interesati si tot asa. Calculul asta nu functioneaza tot timpul, dar in marea majoritate a cazurilor se dovedeste a fi adevarat.</p><p>Pe de alta parte <u>Facebook</u> are niste limitari clare. Eu insa nu le consider un dezavantaj. Parerea mea e ca te pastreaza atent si concentrat pe obiectiv, iar acesta este sa te promovezi sau sa iti pomovezi produsul cat mai bine. Asa ca vei avea mai mult timp sa te uiti peste texte, sa verifici de 3 ori formularile si sa alegi cat mai bine pozele care vor aparea.</p><p>Nu cred ca o strategie de genul asta care aseaza pagina de Facebook in centrul campaniei de comunicare online are de suferit in cazul in care se intampla ceva, gen sa dispara Facebook. Daca reusesti sa strangi un numar de fani in jurul tau/al produsului, sa ii redirectionezi ulterior catre un site mi se pare usor. Chiar si catre alta retea sociala.</p><p>Oricum, succesul in cazul Metromind, ca de la ei porniseram, cred eu ca va fi dat de continutul pe care il vor promova. Strategia lor de continut va garanta longevitatea unei astfel de initative. Chiar ii intrebam in ziua lansarii de ce nu permit utilizatorilor sa publice pe wall-ul lor. Au rezolvat chestia asta, dar acum nu stiu ce sa le scriu. Voi ce ati scrie in locul meu?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/o-pagina-de-facebook-vs-un-site.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>De weekend</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/de-weekend.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/de-weekend.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 21 Nov 2010 20:53:32 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Facebook]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Microsoft]]></category> <category><![CDATA[PDL]]></category> <guid

Nu am obiceiul sa ascult ce se vorbeste la alte mese, numai ca ai mei vecini vorbeau foarte tare si cateva cuvinte cheie mi-au atras atentia. Se vorbea despre Microsoft si lansarea noii versiuni de Windows.</p><p>Discutia se purta in jurul ideii ca oricum nu mai exista inimitate. <em>&#8220;Microsoft se gandeste: Cine e ma la putere in Romania? PDL! Si pune mana pe telefon si il suna pe Basescu. Bai nu vrei tu sa stii exact ce fac cetatenii tarii tale? Ce mananca, ce vorbesc, ce gandesc. Si evident ca ala zice da. Si atunci pac! Taxezi. Si uite asa devinde Bill Gates ala cel mai bogat om.&#8221;</em></p><p>La care alt tip de la aceeasi masa intervine: <em>&#8220;Lasa, ma! Nu ai vazut ca nici aia de la Facebook nu sunt mai rasariti. E ca si cum imi fac propriul dosar la securitate. Cred ca e cel mai tare lucru care se putea intampla politiei. Intru acolo si imi scriu singur toate datele, ce imi place, ce nu, unde am fost in concediu. Tot ce trebuie sa faca astia e sa vorbeasca la Facebook si sa obtina un cont care e prieten cu toata lumea. Si nu ai vazut ca au lansat acum ala cu Places. Pai stiu tot timpul unde esti si ce faci, unde ai fost toata ziua &#8230; Pai cum ar fi, intri in mall, pac scrie, sunt la mall. Pai e normal frate? Nu mai avem deloc intimitate.&#8221;</em></p><p>Interesant e ca informatia exista, important e insa si ce intelege lumea din ea.</p><p>In tara in care toata lumea isi da cu parerea despre orice, iar aberarea de teorii ale conspiratiei e la fel de naturala ca trecutul strazii neregulamentar, nu e de mirare ca astfel de reactii apar. Dar nu toata lumea ia lucrurile chiar atat de in tragic. In timp ce baietii isi simteau intimitatea pe care si-o etaleaza de buna voie ameninta, la o alta masa, 4 fete comentau despre o pereche noua de cizme si planuiau excursia la Viena de Craciunul asta. &#8220;<em>O sa cumpere frati&#8217;miu ala mic bilete de avion de pe internet!&#8221; </em>zumzaia una dintre ele deja intrata in spiritul cumparaturilor de Craciun.<em><br
/> </em></p><p>E bun si internetul asta la ceva.<em><br
/> </em></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/de-weekend.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Sunt agentiile din Romania pregatite sa &#8220;faca internet&#8221;?</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/sunt-agentiile-din-romania-pregatite-sa-faca-internet.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/sunt-agentiile-din-romania-pregatite-sa-faca-internet.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Nov 2010 11:13:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADVICE Students]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Evenimente]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ONG]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <guid

title="Adivce Students" href="http://www.advicestudents.ro/" target="_blank">Advice Students</a>,  care este diferenta dintre industria de online din Romania si industria de online de afara, cand vine vorba de specialisti si de pregatirea lor.</p><p>Pe loc, raspunsul meu a facut referire la bariera de limba, la faptul ca oricata pregatire ai avea in acest domeniu si oricat de bine ai cunoaste armele de marketing, ai o problema ca specialist roman sa rulezi campanii in Germania, Franta sau Spania. Si asta pentru ca tu nu cunosti limba si nu iti poti da seama de diferenta de sensuri si nuante la fel de bine cum o face un nativ.</p><p>Ulterior, m-am gandit ca in social media nu exista acest tip de bariere. Ideea de social media a aparut acum 2-3, hai 4 ani, iar specialistii romani au avut ocazia sa isi dezvolte inca de la inceput abilitatile de comunicare pe aceste canale. Modul in care strangi fani in jurul brandului tau este diferit de fiecare data si dependent intr-un fel de mediul social ales. Diferenta o face informatia pe care o comunici si modul in care faci aceasta discutie sa fie atractiva pentru publicul tau tinta, nu nuantele stilistice folosite in limbaj.</p><p>Social media ne da ocazia, noua ca si industrie, sa oferim aceiasi in executie ca orice agentie din &#8220;afara&#8221;, ne lasa sa descoperim mediul la fel cum o fac si ei si ne ofera sansa sa dovedim ca si agentiile locale sunt demne de luat in seama atunci cand vine vorba de astfel de campanii. Voi care credeti ca sunt aceste diferente si cat de mult ne afecteaza ca si industrie?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/sunt-agentiile-din-romania-pregatite-sa-faca-internet.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>SEO vs PPC: Lupta gigantilor (si ce inteleg clientii)</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/seo-vs-ppc-lupta-gigantilor-si-ce-inteleg-clientii.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/seo-vs-ppc-lupta-gigantilor-si-ce-inteleg-clientii.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 11 Nov 2010 11:25:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Evenimente]]></category> <category><![CDATA[PPC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SEO]]></category> <guid

Am urmarit evolutia evenimentului inca de la prima editie si in jurul lui s-a strans o comunitate activa de specialisti. Am mai avut ocazia sa vorbesc in fata lor si feedback-ul a fost de fiecare data unul foarte bun.</p><p>Saptamana asta vreau sa le vorbesc despre lupta dintre SEO si PPC in perceptia clientilor. Ce inteleg companiile cand vine vorba de cele doua si cum interpreteaza ele ofertele primite de la agentii. Cred eu ca va fi o discutie interesanta avand in vedere miturile care domina zona asta.

class="alignleft size-full wp-image-789" style="float: left; padding-right: 4px;" title="93279_articol" src="http://tudortotolici.ro/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/93279_articol.jpg" alt="" width="223" height="140" />“Am vrut să le demonstrăm românilor un lucru pe care probabil mulți dintre ei îl uitaseră: că, într-o perioadă în care majoritatea tinerilor își caută salvarea în afara granițelor țării, o ciocolată reușește sa starneasca patriotismul in oameni asa cum nu au reusit sa faca dezbateri mai aprinse si mai importante inaintea ei. Rom a aratat romanilor ca le pasa de tara lor, ca tin la valorile lor nationale, insa acest lucru a devenit evident abia atunci cand cineva a atacat aceste valori”</em> &#8211; Adrian Boțan, director de creație McCann Erickson, <a
title="Rom Autentic - interviu Pagina de media" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.paginademedia.ro/2010/10/visul-american-din-rom-un-artificiu-de-marketing/" target="_blank">paginademedia.ro</a></p><p>Studii independente (realizate de Ministerul Muncii si Mercury Research) arata ca 80% din tineri vor sa plece macar temporar din tara si mai mult de o treime (1 milion) isi doresc sa plece defintiv. Romanii tind sa se refere la aspectele negative atunci cand vorbesc despre ei insisi si au un tip de patriotism reactiv – are nevoie de un stimul ca sa se manifeste. Plecand de la asta echipa McCann Erickson a gandit o intreaga campanie fake de rembranding a batonului de ciocolata. Reactiile nu au intarziat sa apara. Internetul s-a umplut in cateva zile de comentarii negative legate de noua pozitionare.</p><p>Campania Rom e un exemplu clar de campanie care reuseste sa starneasca reactii puternice nu neaparata prin expunerea media cat mai ales prin mesajul puternic. Daca reactiile oamenilor ar fi fost monitorizate si s-ar fi incercat gestionarea discutiei rezultatele ar fi fost mult mai de impact. Chiar si asa &#8220;repozitionarea&#8221;</p><p>Datele oficiale prezentate de McCann Erickson anunta 1.000 de comentarii pe site doar în prima zi după anunţ, 55.000 de vizitatori unici într-o săptămână, sau cauze şi pagini de Facebook create şi susţinute exclusiv de consumatori. Cea mai mare dintre ele are aproape 11.000 de membri. Reprezentantii companiei Kandia Dulce spun ca nu au inca date concrete legate de vanzarile batonului in ultima saptamana, dar sustin ca “vanzarile de Rom sunt in crestere, pe o piata in scadere”. Interesant va fi cand aceste rapoarte vor fi facute publice si se va vedea mult mai clar impactul pe care intreaga campaniei l-a avut asupra brand-ului.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/mccann-erickson-campanie-rom.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Communication Shutdown Day</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/communication-shutdown-day.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/communication-shutdown-day.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 16 Oct 2010 22:03:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <guid

Totul pare atat de teoretizat in marketing-ul online, atat de prestabilit si sunt atat de multe reguli incat ne vine greu sa  credem ca undeva acolo poate fi arta. Nu vorbesc aici de arta care vine o data cu design-ul unui site sau cu arta de a scrie un text care capteaza atentia, cu arta pe care o gasim intr-un site de fotografie. Vorbesc aici de arta care tine strict de markting online.</p><p><strong>ártă (árte),</strong> <abbr
title="substantiv feminin">s. f.</abbr> – <strong>1.</strong> Activitate care are drept scop producerea unor valori estetice. – <strong>2.</strong> Măiestrie, pricepere. <abbr
title="italian(ă)">It.</abbr> <em>arte,</em> din <abbr
title="latin(ă)">lat.</abbr> <em>ars</em>(<abbr

title="substantiv masculin">s. m.</abbr>; <em>artistă,</em> <abbr
title="substantiv feminin">s. f.</abbr>; <em>artistic,</em> <abbr
title="adjectiv, adjectival">adj.</abbr></p><p>Sa producem arta intr-un anumit domeniu, inseamna sa schimbam reguli, inseamna sa facem oamenii sa se opreasca pentru o secunda si sa analizeze sau sa fie uimiti. Sa facem arta in online inseamna sa trasam standarde si sa oferim noi metode de interactiune. Google a facut asta, Twitter a facut asta, jocurile online fac asta. Sa facem arta in <i>marketing online</i> inseamna sa gasim noi canale de comunicare, sa spargem barierele dintre consumator si brand.</p><p>Fiecare din noi e un artist, fiecare din noi are posibilitatea sa reinventeze munca pe care o face, sa rezolve o problema de care se loveste intr-un mod inedit si sa devin exceptional in domeniul sau. In <u>marketing online</u> mai mult decat in alte profesii. De ce? Pentru ca internetul e poate cel mai dinamic mediu si pentru ca nu au fost inca scrise toate regulile.</p><p>In ultima lui carte, <em>Linchpin</em>, Seth Godin vrobeste exact despre asta. In economia actuala singura solutie sa supravietuim este sa devenim indispensabili profesiei sau companiei pentru care lucram. Ne arata, folosind eseuri scurte de cateva pagini si argumente logice, de ce modul in care am fost educati sa gandim nu mai este valabil si de ce vechile reguli de a face business nu se mai aplica.</p><div

title="Seth Godin - Linchpin" src="http://www.studio-louis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/linchpin.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="294" /></div><p>Cartea e departe de a fi un self-help american. Nu vorbeste despre <a
href="http://tudortotolici.ro/blog/tag/marketing/" target="_self">marketing</a> online si nu prezinta reguli sau modalitati clare de a avea succes. Ne face doar sa realizam ca intr-adevar <em>playing by the rules</em> nu o sa ne aduca garantia unui job mai bine platit si nici macar garantia actualului job. E nevoie sa gandim mai departe decat ce ni se cere, sa avem relatii stranse cu clientii si colegii nostri si cunoastem foarte bine domeniul in care activam.</p><p>Sa devenim indispensabili ca profesionisti cere timp, multa convingere si puterea de a trece peste regrete sau iluzii. Dar nimic nu e imposibil de atins, indiferent de domeniu, fie el marketing online sau oricare altul.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/marketing-online-arta.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Camp Cros – Scoala de vara alternativa</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/camp-cros-scoala-de-vara-alternativa.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/camp-cros-scoala-de-vara-alternativa.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:59:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Evenimente]]></category> <guid

Ca in orice activitate, exista un cod de etica/conduita general valabil si un set de reguli proprii pentru fiecare. Acestea sunt urmarite de membrii vechi ai <a
title="retea sociala" href="http://tudortotolici.ro/blog/tag/social-media/" target="_self">retelelor sociale</a>, utilizatori cu influenta pe respectiva platforma si pe baza lor iti va fi judecata activitatea.</p><h3>Pastreaza elementele de brand pe orice retea sociala</h3><p>Majoritatea retelelor sociale iti permit personalizarea profilului. Inca de la inceput trebuie sa stabilesti cateva elemente, imagini, culori etc. pe care sa le folosesti consecvent. Cea mai importanta dintre ele este imaginea de profil. Ea este probabil cea mai vizibila dintre elemente si evident cea mai usor de recunoscut. Insa lista nu se opreste aici. Alte elemente care pot fi mutate usor de la o retea sociala la alta sunt background-ul, anumite sintagme pe care le folosesti, un citat care sa te reprezinte.</p><p>Un element care tine tot de brand si deseori uitat este tonul vocii. Aici ai nevoie de cateva reguli clare de la inceput pe care sa incerci sa le pastrezi pe oricare din profile comunici. E vorba de modul in care anunti anumite lucruri, modul in care raspunzi la comentarii si genul de informatii pe care hotarasti sa le promovezi sau sa le comentezi.</p><h3>Pastreaza o prezenta constanta indiferent ce retea sociala alegi</h3><p>Nu abandona nici o retea sociala. Uita-te inainte la profilul oamenilor care folosesc o anumita retea sociala. Analizeaza exact beneficiile pe care ti le poate aduce prezenta ta acolo si hotaraste clar unde anume o sa iti faci cont.  In momentul in care ai inceput sa construiesti un profil cel mai rau lucru care il poti face e sa il abandonezi. Fie ca intri doar o data pe saptamana sau de doua ori e bine sa pastrezi contul activ. La inceput e greu, dar cu timpul te vei obsinui. Eu in momentul in care imi construiam conturile pe <a
title="Tudor Totolici - Twitter" rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/tudor_totolici" target="_blank">Twitter</a> si <a
title="Tudor Totolici - Facebook" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/tudor.totolici" target="_blank">Facebook</a> stateam si 2 &#8211; 3 ore pe zi. Acum intru cate jumatate de ora seara si dimineata si este suficient. Retelele sociale devin o rutina placuta si utila, asta cu conditia sa le alegi cum trebuie inca de la inceput.</p><h3>Vorbeste cu restul membrilor si fa-ti prieteni</h3><p>Nu este de ajuns sa publici articole si informatie relevanta daca nimeni nu va avea acces la ea. Sa iti faci prieteni si sa vorbesti cu lumea ar trebui sa iti ocupe mai mult de jumatate din timpul petrecut pe o retea sociala. Astfel de discutii pe termen lung vor strange in jurul contului tau un grup de oameni interesati de ce spui. Influenta pe o retea sociala creste o data cu numarul de oameni care te &#8220;urmaresc&#8221;.</p><p><img
class="aligncenter" title="Prieteni pe o pretea sociala" src="http://blog.totaljobs.com/network.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="304" /></p><p>In nici un caz ei nu trebuie priviti doar ca &#8220;un cerc de influenta&#8221;. In momentul in care ei te pot considera &#8220;prieten&#8221;, chiar si virtual, vor da mai departe articolele tale, te vor recomanda si vor apela la serviciile tale. Fii sincer cu ei, ajuta-i atunci cand poti, fara sa astepti ceva in schimb si mai ales asculta. Nu poti sa le oferi ceva care sa intereseze, atata timp cat nu le asculti parerea, nu stii ce le place, care sunt interesele lor si motivul pentru care ei folosesc acea retea sociala.</p><h3>Stabileste-ti propriul cod de etica</h3><p>Nu publica informatii fara sa le verifici, nu te certa, nu injura sunt doar cateva reguli pe care incerc sa le urmaresc. Si tu ar trebui sa ai propriul cod de etica pe care sa il urmezi. Stabileste cateva reguli de bun simt care sa te reprezinte si pe care sa le poti urma. E important pe termen lung ca imaginea ta sa nu fie patata de scandaluri sau acuzatii de furt. In momentul in care public un link de exemplu si cineva imi atrage atentia ca informatia e veche sau copiata din alta parte, sterg acel link cu explicatia de rigoare. De asemenea fiecare retea sociala are propriul cod de etica pe care e bine sa il afli si sa il urmezi. Daca vrei sa faci parte din acea comunitate si sa te integrezi in acel grup e bine sa le respecti &#8220;regulile&#8221;.</p><p>Astea sunt doar cateva sfaturi generale. Folosind zilnic o retea sociala iti vei da seama singur de nenumarate alte &#8220;tips &amp; tricks&#8221;. Dupa cum probabil v-ati dat seama nu e atat de greu sa ai un profil de succes pe o retea sociala, atata timp cat iti setezi de la inceput cateva reguli pe care le si respecti &#8230;</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/ce-inseamna-un-profil-de-succes-pe-o-retea-sociala.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Inna – Campanie pe Facebook</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/inna-campanie-pe-facebook.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/inna-campanie-pe-facebook.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:51:10 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Content Strategy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <guid

Sunt zeci de concursuri care se lanseaza zilnic, dar nu toate au succes. O campanie pe <a
title="artciole despre facebook" href="http://tudortotolici.ro/blog/tag/facebook/" target="_self">Facebook </a>reusita trebuie sa se adreseze direct doar oamenilor interesati, in momentul in care le poate capta in totalitate atentia si in momentul in care le poate oferi ceva relevant pentru ei. E nevoie de o planificare exacta si de un concept care sa fie potrivit momentului.  Cred ca tocmai planificarea a lipsit campaniei lansate saptamana trecuta pe pagina Innei.</p><p>Saptamana trecuta Inna a pornit un concurs in care promitea cadou propriul ei Porche Boxer pentru unul dintre fanii paginii ei. Singura conditie era ca 1 milion de oameni sa devina fanii ei in 48 de ore.</p><p>Pe data de 19 August la ora 12:37 pm Inna a publicat mesajul pe pagina ei de Facebook. Totul a inceput asa:</p><blockquote><p>News: Super contest: We&#8217;ve almost 600.000 fans on this page! If we reach 1 million fans in 48 hours, one of you will make Inna a pedestrian, will get INNA&#8217;s car, a Porche Boxster! Share this page on your wall, suggest it to your friends and you might just be the lucky winner! Good luck! PS: Inna will pick the winner!</p></blockquote><p>Si s-a terminat asa 2 zile mai tarziu:</p><blockquote><p>Unfortunately, the contest is over. The 1 million mark wasn&#8217;t reached. However, we&#8217;re giving away 100 signed INNA CDs to the first 100 commentors. Leave your comment now!!</p></blockquote><p

A inceput joi la pranz, prin urmare 48 de ore se faceau sambata dimineata. A cuprins o perioada moarta vara in online cand oamenii fie pleaca in weekend, fie isi petrec serile afara din casa. Un alt argument ar fi explicatia foarte buna data de Bogdana despre <a
title="Bogdana Butnar - latenta culturala" href="http://bogdanabutnar.ro/2010/08/22/latenta-culturala-in-advertising-cultural-latency/" target="_blank">latenta culturala</a>.  Timpul in care aceasta informatie a trecut in universul Facebook de la relevant la uitare a fost de cateva ore.</p><p>Ce cred eu ca a vrut sa obtina Inna a fost <em>awarness </em>si <em>press love</em>. Numai ca o <u>campanie pe Facebook</u> care sa dureze 48 de ore nu are cum sa castige atentia opiniei publice atat de repede. Un experiment cum a fost asta, fie el si esuat, ne va invata ce sa evitam pe viitor. Si ce sa invatam. Poate in primul rand ca o campanie pe Facebook presupune mai mult decat un premiu motivant. N-ati fi zis, nu? <img

Neoclassical economics stops short of trying to explain where people’s preferences come from, so it does not take account of the direct influence of other people’s behaviour and social norms on our behaviour. The theory assumes we independently know what we want and that our preferences are fixed. This standard theory is very good at explaining short-term decision-making (I want green vegetables and choose beans as they are on special offer) but  cannot explain longer-term changes in preferences (I now only choose organic food). Along the same lines the importance of institutions – both formal institutions such as regulations, and informal ones, for example, how people organize markets – and the evolution of the whole economic system are not subjects of neoclassical analysis.</em></p></blockquote> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/today-i-started-reading-about-behavioral-economics.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Google Buzz</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/google-buzz.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/google-buzz.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 10 Feb 2010 01:22:39 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EN]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Products]]></category> <guid

It also makes publishers more reliant upon <strong>Apple&#8217;s  own ad-serving platform</strong> which was created through the acquisition of <a
href="http://www.quattrowireless.com/">Quattro Wireless</a>. Regarding this, the  iPad seeks to revolutionize an existing marketplace (content publishing). If the  company that owns the platform also owns the ad network, the ad format,  and the ad tracking, is that too much control?</p><p>2 no. There is <strong>no multitasking</strong>. If this is supposed to be a replacement for netbooks, how can it  possibly not have multitasking? If the CPU is so kick-ass fast, why can&#8217;t it  multitask?</p><p>3 no.

Seesmic Look functions as a Twitter client, but  offers some additional options.

Clientul trebuie ghidat prin continutul de pe site, astfel incat decizia de a te contacta sau de a cumpara ceva sa ii vina natural. In cazul in care oricare din actiuni e dusa la bun sfarsit, tine de tine ca el sa iti devina un client fidel.</p><p>Important in astfel de cazuri e ce gasesc utilizatorii cand ajung pe site-ul tau si mai putin volumul de trafic.

Nu cumpar 2 ore de programare php, 1 ora de CSS si 20 de min de Action Script. Client fiind ma duc la o agentie care imi ofera o rezolvare la problema mea, fie ea de vanzari, pozitionare sau oricare alta. Nu cred ca un contract de mentenanta, care include cateva ore de orice, il va face pe client sa aiba incredere in tine si in compania ta.</p><p>Incearca sa te pui in postura lui, incearca sa afli care sunt nevoile lui. Defineste problemele pe care le are. Gaseste cate o solutie pentru fiecare in parte. Aseaza-le intr-o ordine logica si da-le un timing coerent. Stabileste impreuna cu el o lista de obiective pentru fiecare in parte. La final, daca iti vei atinge target-ul, macar pe o parte din ele, iar la restul vei avea doar rezultate modeste, clientul tau va fi mai fericit.</p><p>Fii coerent in propunerile tale si incearca sa il intelegi. Fii partenerul lui si nu un simplu executant. Invata cateva domenii de ativitate din postura de agentie de marketing interactiv si ramai focusat pe ele. Lumea te va recunoaste ca expert. Incearca sa faci de toate si vei esua.</p><p>Unui american cand ii povestesti de afacerea ta te intreaba: &#8220;Si eu cum te pot ajuta?&#8221;. Noi nu avem spiritul asta. La noi fiecare trage pentru el. Cat de greu e sa realizezi ca o solutie win-win si pentru tine si pentru client va intari relatia dintre voi si iti va aduce pe termen lung un contract stabil?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/si-clientul-unde-e.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>In drum spre casa&#8230;</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/in-drum-spre-casa.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/in-drum-spre-casa.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 24 Dec 2009 13:24:01 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[RO]]></category> <guid

O discutie ...]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Ne pregatim sa lansam o aplicatie de iphone, dar asta sa ramana intre noi&#8221;. O discutie la o cafea, o zi ploioasa, Pizza Hut Mosilor. Mihai Dragan intarziase. Urma sa aflu ca e o chestie normala la el. Atunci aproape ca o luasem personal. Vroiam sa plec de la firma unde lucram. Ma plafonasem si ma sufocam. MB Dragan a venit ca o salvare. Ii cunoscusem pe baieti in biroul de pe Teodor Stefanescu. Erau 6. Mihai, Alex, Andrei, Catalin, Razvan si Alin. Ii stiam de pe net. Faceau Blogbrowsing cu Ionut Oprea, o harta cu bloguri si lucrau impreuna cu mine la site-ul Euroest. Prima mea zi la MB Dragan a fost 1 Iulie 2008. Deja echipa era mai mare in noul sediu de pe Romulus 42. Erau Alinuta si Andreea, Spio pe design si impreuna cu mine mai incepeau lucrul Sorin si Irina.</p><p>Prima zi a fost ciudata. Mi-am asamblat biroul. Am incercat sa instalez windows-ul pe un Dell. L-am cunoscut pe Sorin. Eu veneam dintr-un mediu corporate, el din online. Mi-a povestit de Arbo si de petrecerile de acolo. M-a invatat cum se calculeaza reach-ul pe o campanie de bannere. Am lucrat cu el 6 luni. Ne petreceam mai mult de 10 ore pe zi impreuna. Am invatat impreuna ce inseamna un client multumit, unul pretentios, unul suparat si, mai ales, unul care nu plateste. Odata cu noi in firma a venit si Irina. La inceput intepata, dupa mandra, mai incolo boema, ca sa ajunga in final &#8220;madame account&#8221;. A fost singura care a reusit ca project manager sa tina piept baietilor peste un an zile ceea ce e laudabil. Acum lucreaza pe design si se vede ca ii place. Mie si lui Alex ni se par reusite lucrarile ei. Daca nu va renunta, eu zic ca va reusi sa se impuna in domeniul asta ca cea mai creativa <img
src='http://www.tudortotolici.ro/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p><p>Pe vremea aia erau petreceri in sediul de pe Romulus. Se statea seara, se bea bere, se juca mima si se radea. Vecina, care avea magazin, ne tinea berea la rece. Ne prindea 2 dimineata cantand sau povestind. Atunci am inteles dupa 6 ani ca angajat ca biroul nu trebuie sa fie doar locul de unde pleci si ca prieteni iti pot fi colegii, oamenii aia misto cu care iti petreci mai bine de jumatate din zi. In podul vilei erau cateva beanbag-uri. Acolo se tineau brainrock-urile, acolo te duceai pentru cateva momente de liniste in timpul zilei si &#8230; acolo am adormit cateva ore la un moment dat. Am sforait si Boar cu Sorin s-au sesizat. Cand a ajuns si Mihai la birou a fost un pic penibil, dar am avut puterea sa radem si sa trecem peste.</p><p>Acum ca imi amintesc pe vremea aia aveam biroul langa Boar. Daniel Voicu, cum ar veni, gen. Un tip ciudatel pe care nu l-am inteles prima data. Singura persoana pe care am cunoscut-o care sa dea dovada de atata ambitie pentru o cariera pe care sunt sigur ca nici el nu o vede conturata acum. Merge zilnic 20 si ceva de km dus-intors ca sa ajunga la birou si este in permanenta la curent cu ce se intampla pe online. Boar e rusinos, e timid, e timorat. Boar e o persoana cu care ai ce sa vorbesti ore in sir, e o persoana cu pareri bine formate care sunt sigur ca va invata cu timpul sa comunice. Tin mine ca l-am suparat o data atat de tare incat seara de acasa a scris pe twitter &#8220;cum ar fi sa iti injunghi colegul de birou&#8221;. A doua zi imi era frica sa ma duc la birou. Cateodata imi doresc sa am determinarea lui si sa am experienta lui de viata.</p><p>Despre Alina? Alinuta a fost singura persoana care m-a inteles in aceea perioada mai bine decat ma intelegeam eu. A inteles nevoia mea de a fi apreciat si de a fi in centrul atentiei. A inteles ca simt si gandesc mai mult decat las sa se vada. A fost alaturi de mine in toata perioada asta la fiecare decizie pe care a trebuit sa o iau si pentru asta ii multumesc.</p><p>Revelionul 2008 &#8211; 2009 l-am facut cu Mihai, Andrei, Alex si Andreea intr-o cabana la munte. Andreea ne batea la remi si eu l-am invatat pe Alex sa joace poker. Andrei a fost singurul care a inteles pasiunea mea pentru artificii. Am stat cu el 20 de min in frig la miezul noptii ca sa aruncam toate rachetele cumparate in Bran. Ale lui au fost mai frumoase! <img
src='http://www.tudortotolici.ro/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> Ne-am intors dupa vacanta aia cu o pofta de viata extraordinara si cu multa creativitate. Ianuarie, Februarie si Martie a fost o perioada cu multe lansari. Tin minte o seara cand am ramas eu si cu Irina si incercam sa modificam codul scris de Andrei. Am reusit dintr-o lista de 20 de modificari sa facem un buton sa functioneze, dar cred ca am stricat alte 10 chestii pe langa. A fost un soc cand in ianuarie Sorin a plecat la Intact si eu am preluat si atributiile lui.</p><p>Am inceput incet incet sa imi construiesc echipa de consultanta. Anca a fost prima. Devenita mai apoi PR manager in MB Dragan, la inceput a tras cot la cot cu mine pe partea de new business. Nu ii reuseau toate intalnirile, dar se vedea ca incearca sa invete si ca ii place ce face. Avea un entuziasm debordant si asta ma motiva de fiecare data sa ii explic pe indelete absolut toate php-urile, cms-urile si rss-urile alea. Acum pe partea de PR face o treaba excelenta si asta se vede in expunerea pe care MB Dragan o are ca si agentie.</p><p>In primavara, parca, Catalin a plecat in armata. A fost o senzatie ciudata. Nu m-am inteles niciodata cu el. El cred ca ma ura. In unele sedinte imi arunca priviri de care ma feream. Intr-o dimineata a zis ca el se duce la recrutare. Isi depune dosarul si vede ce se intampla. A zis ca are nevoie de o experienta de genul asta ca sa devina barbat. Eu cu Sorin eram sceptici. Mihai nu a comentat. L-am mai vazut de atunci de cateva ori. Pare neschimbat. La fel de linistit.</p><p>Nu dupa mult timp, Alin a hotarat sa se mute la Craiova. Eu zic ca a fugit dupa femei. El zice ca era satul de Bucuresti. Eu imi mentin parerea. Pe el nu am apucat sa il cunosc.</p><p>Andreea facea dimineata una din cele mai bune cafele pe care le-am baut vreodata. Stia exact cat zahar sa puna ca sa nu fie prea dulce si o stropea cu un pic de scortisoara. Toate amintirile care le am legate de sediul ala incep cu asta. A fost prima care a vorbit cu mine si care mi-a zis cum merg lucrurile in firma. Era sociabila si foarte deschisa. Desena mult pe vremea aia. Portrete. A plecat la inceputul anului. A fost prima data cand il vedeam pe Mihai ca renunta la un membrul al echipei si nu intelegeam ce se intampla. Nici in ziua de azi nu pot sa ma pronunt clar ce a fost zilele alea. Eram toti suparati ca nu erau gaze, era frig in birou. Era ca o mica revolta. Tin minte ca dupa ora 5 beam &#8220;Polar&#8221; in biroul de consultanta si seara mergeam la Irish Pubul de pe Calarasi. Reactia lui Mihai legata de Andreea a fost o chestie fulgeratoare ca in Prison Break: &#8220;find the biggest baddest mother fucker and put him down&#8221;. Situatia s-a calmat, dar el era afectat de decizia luata. Se vedea.</p><p>Intre timp echipa mea se marise. A aparut Maria. Venea cu o experienta de doi ani in vanzari, dar fara nici o legatura cu online-ul. Sunt atat de multe de scris aici incat nu o sa spun decat ca de ea imi va fi cel mai dor din toata echipa. Motivele le stie ea prea bine.</p><p>In mai parca, ne-am mutat in noul sediu. Eu am reusit dibaci sa imi pun intalnirile in asa fel incat am scapat de carat chestii. Lumea era reticenta fata de noul loc. Mie imi placea. Era un pas inainte. Cresteam. Au venit in echipa Daniela si Victor. Doi profesionisti, doi prieteni, care din pacate nu au reusit sa se adapteze la modul nostru de lucru.</p><p>Sunt foarte multe detalii omise, sunt persoane despre care nu am vorbit. Sunt povesti legate de unele proiecte care meritau spuse si intalniri cu unii clienti care vor ramane memorabile. Dar articolul asta se vrea mai mult despre trecut si cat mai putin despre prezent.</p><p>Prezentul ma intristeaza. Acum voi pleca. Voi lasa in urma tot ce am cladit aici si imi voi continua drumul. Ma voi desparti de o echipa extraordinara si de cel mai &#8220;cool&#8221; sef pe care l-am avut pana acum. Probabil am foarte multe multumiri de lasat in urma atat colectivului, cat si fiecaruia in parte. Cand am ajuns MB Dragan era o agentie mica cu un viitor promitator, cu o echipa vesela si pusa pe fapte mari. Acum ca plec, las o agentie ajunsa la maturitate cu sedii peste tot in tara, cu o echipa de peste 25 de oameni, cu proiecte misto, clienti internationali si multe premii castigate. O sa imi fie dor de MB Dragan, de petrecerile din curtea de pe Romulus, de brainrock-uri si de teambuilding-uri, de proiectele misto, de reusite, dar si de momentele tensionate; de ultimele 500 de cafele baute dimineata acolo, de Mihai, de Andrei, de Alex, de Anca, de Maria, de Alinuta, de Victor, de Daniela, de Flori, Cezara, Boar, Andreea, Catalin, Razvan, Dizzu, Cristi, Victor Obretin, Irina, Dan, Alin, Spio si Kolea.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/si-cand-eu-nu-voi-mai-fi-va-veti-aminti.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>19</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>2 trenduri de urmarit anul viitor</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/2-trenduri-de-urmarit-anul-viitor.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/2-trenduri-de-urmarit-anul-viitor.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:00:32 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[RO]]></category> <guid

Deja regulile s-au schimbat. Motoarele de cautare au evoluat si au o perceptie mult mai naturala asupra continutului.</p><p>Tendinta este sa scrii un text cu gandul in permanenta la utilizator. La ce cauta si ce il intereseaza pe el. Daca o sa ajunga pe pagina ta 1000 de oameni doar pentru ca ai folosit excesiv un cuvant, nu va fi relevant pentru conversiile tale. Poate doar unul din ei e chiar interesat de serviciile tale. Pe cand, daca textul este coerent si corect scris, prezentand tot o data in mod clar beneficiile, rata de conversie este mult mai mare, chiar si la un numar de doar 200 de vizitatori.</p><p>SEO nu mai e tehnica prin care aduci multi oameni pe site. E metoda prin care cu ajutorul continutului ajungi la oamenii cu adevarat interesati de ce ai de spus.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/mituri-despre-seo-2.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>[RO] Social media poate salva internetul mobil</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/social-media-poate-salva-intenetul-mobil.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/social-media-poate-salva-intenetul-mobil.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:21:03 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[RO]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <guid

Marele impediment il vad in costurile prea mari ale serviciilor de mobile internet practicate de operatori si in proasta intelegere pe care o are publicul fata de aceste servicii.</p><p>Orange, Vodafone si altii au inceput pe piata internationala sa isi educe deja utilizatorii. Si cea mai facila metoda sunt retelele sociale. Ma surpinde sa vad reclama in magazinul unui dealer de telefoane mobile la noul model de nu stiu ce Nokia, iar pe ecran sa apara doua logo-uri: Facebook si Twitter.</p><p>Dar e o miscare normala. Oamenii petrec tot mai mult timp pe retele sociale si vor sa isi faca simtita prezenta oriunde ar fi. Asa ca cel mai mare beneficiu, pe care il poti scoate in fata, e usurinta de a utiliza astfel de servicii chiar de pe telefonul mobil. E un inceput. Si chiar unul promitator.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/social-media-poate-salva-intenetul-mobil.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Unde intervine social media in strategia de marketing?</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/unde-intervine-social-mediain-strategia-de-marketing.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/unde-intervine-social-mediain-strategia-de-marketing.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:30:47 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <guid

IPhone-ul, Facebook, Twitter sunt produse si servicii pe care noi le folosim zilnic, dar nu si restul lumii. Clientii nostrii, clientii clientilor nostrii nu au auzit de ele si nici nu vor incepe sa le foloseasca foarte curand. Folosirea lor in marketing ar trebui sa intervina mai tarziu, cand deja ai foarte bine puse la punct elementele esentiale.</p><p
style="text-align: center;"><img
class="aligncenter" title="Online Marketing" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3093/2765981920_329673d762_o.jpg" alt="Online Marketing" width="570" height="266" /></p><p>Dupa ce iti lansezi site-ul, pune undeva un formular in care ii cer utilizatorului tau adresa de e-mail. E cea mai utilizata tehnologie online la momentul actual. Trimite cateva newslettere, un mail personalizat in care le ceri feedback pe o anumita decizie pe care vrei sa o iei. Fa-i sa se simta importanti si le vei capta atentia.</p><p>Analizeaza traficul de pe site-ul tau. Vezi ce anume ii intereseaza. Stabileste niste flow-uri pe care vrei ca ei sa le urmareasca. Vezi care sunt paginile de pe care lumea paraseste site-ul. Vezi de ce nu ajung la formularul de contact sau de ce nu indeplinesc unul de obiectivele stabilite de tine. Ia aminte si imbunatateste. Vezi ce poate fi modificat. Rearanjeaza elementele astfel incat conversia sa creasca. Adu imbunatatiri mici, dar intr-un ritm constant, astfel incat paginile respective sa devina utile atat pentru tine, cat si pentru utilizatorii tai.</p><p>Odata stabilite toate astea, adauga continut. Continut interesant, continut care sa determine userul sa revina pe site. Arata-le ca merita sa te mai viziteze din cand in cand, macar pentru noutati si stiri, daca nu pentru altceva. Tot efortul asta iti va creste relevanta in motoarele de cautare. Suplimenteaza asta cu campanii de pay per click, prin care sa aduci trafic si pe alte expresii, poate adiacente domeniului tau.</p><p>Abia in momentul in care ai bine puse la punct aceste metode de atragere si fidelizare a posibililor clienti, poti sa incepi sa te gandesti la o campanie pe social media, la o interactiune directa cu fosti sau viitori clienti. Clientii tai nu te vor gasi doar pe retele sociale, dar iti vor multumi ca esti acolo sa le amintesti ca existi.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/unde-intervine-social-mediain-strategia-de-marketing.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Raport pret, calitate, timp</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/raport-pret-calitate-timp.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/raport-pret-calitate-timp.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:02:45 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Clients]]></category> <guid

style="text-align: left;">In momentul in care incepi un nou proiect sunt 3 factori care vor influenta mersul lui in mod dramatic: timpul, costurile si calitatea. Daca ideea se vrea implementata cu succes, ideal ar fi ca raportul dintre ei sa fie foarte echilibrat. Dar, de cele mai multe ori, factorii externi care ne influenteaza deciziile ne obliga sa facem sacrificii pe oricare din cele 3 planuri.</p><p
style="text-align: center;"><p
style="text-align: left;">Cea mai buna modalitatea de a garanta reusita este sa renunti la ceva in totalitate. Si atunci lucrurile devin atat de simple. Vrei ceva repede si la un cost scazut &#8211; va fi foarte prost. Vrei ceva la costuri scazute, dar care sa fie de calitate &#8211; iti asumi deadline-uri foarte lungi. Sau vrei ceva repede si la o super calitate &#8211; platesti bani grei.</p><p
style="text-align: left;">Nici una din abordari nu e gresita, atat timp cat produsul final indeplineste obiectivele pentru care a fost dezvoltat. In functie de situatia in care se afla proiectul vostru acum, e momentul sa va ganditi bine la care din cei 3 factori sunteti dispusi sa renuntati.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/raport-pret-calitate-timp.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Mituri despre SEO #1</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/mituri-despre-seo-1.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/mituri-despre-seo-1.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:30:17 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Clients]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Publishing]]></category> <guid

Mi se pare o inselatorie sa sustii asa ceva in fata unui om de business doar pentru a &#8220;trage&#8221; de la el cateva sute de euro.</p><p>Daca in mod normal te costa cateva mii de euro sa te mentii pe prima pagina in AdWords, acelasi efort financiar trebuie depus si in cazul unei optimizari. Numai munca de research pe domeniul respectiv si un copy bun isi merita investitia.

In stilul caracteristic, Google a stiut sa isi marketeze bine lansarea. In schimb, a ales prost target-ul. Google Wave mi se pare un produs destinat, mai degraba, &#8220;corporatistilor&#8221; decat geeksilor. Da, ei au fost mult mai interesati, au starnit acel word of mouth specific unei lansari la scara globala, dar produsul nu e pentru ei.</p><p>Google Wave e un super colaboration tool. E o noua era pentru email, folosit intr-un mediu business, si acolo cred ca va castiga teren. Un freelancer sau un blogger nu scrie documentatii tehnice cu o echipa de inca 4 oameni. Nu are revizuiri ale aceluiasi document, revizuiri venite de la 6 oameni diferiti, si nu ajunge sa trimita mailuri care au inca 8 colegi in CC. O conversatie coerenta si eficienta se pierde in astfel de cazuri. Si aici ar trebui sa se pozitioneze Google.</p><p><img

Dar usurinta in folosire si multitudinea de probleme pe care le rezolva, eu zic ca ii vor aduce recunoasterea meritata.</p><p>Wave nu trebuie privit ca o retea sociala. Wave nu e Twitter. Wave nu e Facebook. Wave e viitorul comunicarii online intr-o economie globala, in care comunicarea eficienta va fi cea care face diferenta.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/mai-sunt-invitatii-la-google-wave.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>11</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Alte vremuri maica!</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/alte-vremuri-maica.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/alte-vremuri-maica.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:57:04 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <guid

title="http://www.autoitalia.ro/" href="http://www.autoitalia.ro/" target="_blank">AutoItalia</a> un <a
title="http://www.fiat.com.ro/showroom/configurator/fiat-500/versiuni" href="http://www.fiat.com.ro/showroom/configurator/fiat-500/versiuni" target="_blank">Fiat 500</a>. Prima interactiune cu cei de la reprezentanta am avut-o undeva in primavara, pe Twitter. Ei scriau atunci pe <a
title="http://twitter.com/fiatalfalancia" href="http://twitter.com/fiatalfalancia" target="_blank">@Fiatalfalancia</a>. Masina merge foarte bine si atrage priviri pe sosea. Este intr-adevar un brand si asta o simti inclusiv din feelingul pe care il lasa.</p><p>Dar nu despre asta vreau sa vorbesc. De miercuri incoace, de cand m-am hotarat sa o iau, m-am tot gandit daca are sens sau nu sa scriu un articol avand in vedere cat ma pricep eu la masini. Am hotarat ca nu e relevanta parerea mea in domeniul auto, dar am zis, totusi, sa ii arat Iuliei Tudor ca au luat o decizie gresita renuntand la promovarea pe retelele sociale.</p><p>Pe 1 octombrie am scris pe Twitter si Facebook despre masina si faptul ca o voi testa in weekend si atat (primul semn <a
title="http://twitter.com/tudor_totolici/status/4518093782" href="http://twitter.com/tudor_totolici/status/4518093782" target="_blank">aici</a>). Astazi am zis sa analizez rezultatele. Unul din micro-posturi a fost un <a
title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6bVhEdQMZw&amp;hd=1" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6bVhEdQMZw&amp;hd=1" target="_blank">link</a> catre youtube cu un tip care counducea un model vechi de Fiat. Numarul de accesari il gasiti mai jos.</p><p><img
class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-169" title="Fiat 500 - Rapoarte Trafic" src="http://tudortotolici.ro/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Untitled-13.png" alt="Fiat 500 - Rapoarte Trafic" width="612" height="646" /></p><p>Acelasi link a primit patru comentarii pe Facebook, noua reply-uri pe Twitter si sase mesaje directe de la oameni care fie imi faceau recomandari, fie cereau detalii suplimentare. Astea ar fi rezultatele pentru mai putin de o zi de interactiune cu comunitatea de pe doua retele sociale &#8220;populare&#8221; la noi. Evident ca rezultatele sunt conditionate de vechime, relevanta, numar de oameni cu care interactionezi, etc.</p><p>Dar ce as face eu in locul lor? In primul rand, nu m-as opri din scris. Pe 7 August, cand e ultimul semn de la ei, aveau aproape 100 de followers si continuau sa creasca. Daca ar mai scrie, numarul are creste cu siguranta. In al doilea rand nu as pompa doar informatii despre brand. As incerca sa vorbesc cu lumea, sa le dau sfaturi, sa le cer pareri, sa le impartasesc &#8220;secretele&#8221; industriei.</p><p>Retelele sociale ar fi modul cel mai facil de a face fie awareness, fie generare de lead-uri, fie doar PR. Probabil e o perioada mai dificila in industria auto, dar asta nu inseamna ca nu se pot face lucruri foarte misto. Poti face viralitate cu materiale mai vechi, modificate; colaje video procesate si editate la costuri minime. Online-ul pentru ei ar trebui sa fie un loc unde sa isi testeze mesajele, ideile, campaniile. E un loc unde primesti feedback rapid si unde orice greseala poate fi reparata in cateva minute.</p><p>Masinile italiene au o poveste si ea trebuie spusa. Brandurile sunt deja formate, comunitatile si pasionatii exista (poate intr-o mai mica masura la Lancia, cel putin in Ro). Toate avantajele astea trebuie folosite. Toate cele trei marci au un potential imens pe online. De ce sa nu il foloseasca?</p><p>P.S. Stiati ca ei sunt importatori <a

O sansa sa intelegem ca nu e atat de misto sa &#8220;jonglam&#8221; cu bugetele clientului, daca nu ii aducem si rezultate. Ca nu e atat de bine sa promiti si sa nu livrezi. Ca e chiar urat sa se ajunga la momentul in care te prezinti in fata clientului si incerci sa ii explici ca totusi ce ai facut tu are rata de click buna. Asa, si?!</p><p>Azi ma gandeam la email marketing si la campaniile de acest tip. Lucram la asa ceva acum 4 ani la Kinecto. Si de atunci piata de la noi nu s-a schimbat cu mult. Clientul intreaba daca are de unde sa cumpere 100.000 de emailuri. Agentia zice ca mai bine targetam pe baza de date existenta. Dupa un schimb rapid de mailuri,  se trimite mesajul bulk. Si revenim la momentul 0.</p><p>Cum ar fi sa primesti un email de ziua ta? Sau cum ar fi sa primesti un email la o saptamana dupa ce ai cumparat un mouse si acolo sa ai o recomandare la un mouse pad asortat? Un email care sa iti recomande un laptop in functie de rezolutia pe care o ai acum? Un email care sa tina minte ce ai facut ultimele 2 vizite pe site?</p><p>Cum ar fi sa nu mai fie nevoit clientul sa plateasca fiecare mail trimis, ci doar pe acelea care sunt citite? Ar putea sa isi masoare mult mai usor ROI pe campanie si ce sens ar avea, nu? Cum ar fi sa monitorizam ce face userul pe site, dupa ce da click in email, si urmatorul mesaj catre el sa il imbunatatim automat in functie de asta?</p><p>Iarasi SF, la fel ca discutia de ieri. Dar poate nu suntem atat de departe. Eu zic ca, daca agentiile isi dau un pic silinta, email marketingul poate fi integrat foarte inteligent in mixul de marketing.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/adtech-londra-ziua-2.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Ad:tech Londra &#8211; ziua 1</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/adtech-londra-ziua-1.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/adtech-londra-ziua-1.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:43:56 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Display Advertising]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <guid

Publisherii gresesc enorm in .ro . Exista o groaza de alte modalitati de a face bani in afara de CPC si CPM. Sau, mai bine spus, de a optimiza astfel de campanii si de a le face interesante in fata clientilor. Nu imi dau inca seama daca treaba asta ar fi mai bine sa fie facuta de agentii sau de catre regii, dar cu siguranta publisherii au si ei vina lor.</p><p>Daca intr-o zi un publisher mare, sa zicem Realitatea, nu ar mai vinde doar spatiu media si ar incepe sa faca chestii interesante? Pentru magazinele online ar vinde doar afisari targetate catre fostii vizitatori, care au interactionat cat de cat cu produsele si prezentarile lor. Pentru casele de discuri ar vinde reclame audio pe anumite stream-uri. Sau sa faca un switch intre afisari premium si non premium, astfel incat, pentru client, costul sa fie cat mai redus, iar conversia cat mai mare.</p><p>Probabil e SF pentru noi, dar baietii astia o fac si o fac bine. Cat de greu ne poate fi sa gandim un pic peste acea mie de afisari si sa gasim ceva care sa poata fi adaptat la piata noastra?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/adtech-londra-ziua-1.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>7</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>3 scurte despre WordPress</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/3-scurte-despre-wordpress.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/3-scurte-despre-wordpress.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:24:59 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <guid

Impreuna vom porni la drum, incercand sa vedem cum se impaca  relatiile publice cu tehnologiile Web 2.0. Si, tot impreuna, vom incerca sa tragem concluzii din cateva exemple practice. Si, mai ales, vom incerca sa invatam.</p><p>Asadar: <strong>te intereseaza un internship pe teme de PR 2.0?</strong></p></blockquote><p>De aici a pornit totul pe 6 Iulie 2009. <a
title="Sorin Tudor" href="http://sorin-tudor.ro/" target="_blank">Sorin Tudor</a> a venit si a zis ca va incerca sa afle impreuna cu alti cativa &#8220;invatacei&#8221; ce inseamna PR-ul si cum poate fi combinat el cu mediile sociale. Au urmat inscrieri preselectii si definitivarea unor grupe.</p><p>Ce a fost stiti bine din tot ce s-a scris pe bloguri si pe twitter. Nu cred ca e nevoie sa reiau eu aici. Ceea ce mi se pare interesant este modul in care au reactionat unii dintre participanti. Dupa ce au luat parte la unul din stagii, au tras concluzia ca fie informatiile erau mult prea basic, fie ca feedback-ul venit nu era adecvat cerintelor. Modul in care erau tinute sedintele parea &#8220;total unprofi&#8221;.</p><p>Din punctul meu de vedere, Sorin a profitat de toata tevatura asta ca sa:</p><ol><li>isi creasca brandul personal</li><li>creeze rapid continut in jurul site-ului</li><li>isi adune in jurul lui o mana de &#8220;pioni&#8221; gata sa execute cu strictete ordinele <img
src='http://www.tudortotolici.ro/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></li></ol><p>Beneficiile pentru participanti sunt evidente (exact asa cum sunt ele specificate pe site-ul proiectului):</p><ul><li>certificate de practică în PR pentru toți participanții la internship (semnate de mine);</li><li>diplome de onoare pentru cei mai buni cinci participanți (semnate de mine) și, în cazul în care mi se solicită, scrisori de recomandare;</li></ul><p>In caz ca nu mai era cartus in imprimanta, puteti sa veniti ca mai semnez si eu o parte. Banuiesc ca semnatura are aceeasi valoare.</p><p>Invataceii lui sunt la fel de nepregatiti sa iasa in lume cu informatie acumulata cum erau si la inceput. Intr-o discutie amicala pe teme de internet si social media ar fi facuti praf de orice account de agentie. Si atunci de ce atata tevatura? Pentru ca e cool sa fi bagat in seama, e cool sa te asociezi cu ceva cool, e cool sa zici ca ai fost in intership cand tu lucrezi intr-un trust cu 200 de euro pe luna si stai peste program pana la 12 noaptea ca sa iti termini treaba.</p><p>Urasc lucururile facute doar de dragul de a fi facute si urasc oameni care glorifica un subiect cum e pr-ul online fara sa il inteleaga. Ce mi se pare ca a iesit bine din tot proiectul sunt cele 3 evenimente de la fiecare stagiu. Initativa este laudabila, dar modul in care a fost pusa in practica mi se pare superficial si pueril si cu siguranta va mai trece mult timp pana cineva in RO se va putea numi expert in retele sociale sau in folosirea lor pentru PR.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/pr365-o-mare-mascarada.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>42</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>MB Dragan castiga 3 premii la ADOR</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/mb-dragan-catsiga-3-premii-la-ador.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/mb-dragan-catsiga-3-premii-la-ador.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:51:20 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <guid

Astfel, s-au premiat cele mai bune lucrari din diferite categorii : TV, Online, Print, Radio, Media, BTL.</p><p>Desi festivalul e destinat in mod deosebit agentiilor conventionale, MB Dragan, agentie de publicitate orientata catre interactiv, a acceptat provocarea de a participa. Dupa 2 zile de sustinere a lucrarilor, a urmat Gala, in cadrul careia s-au decernat premiile.</p><p>MB Dragan a reusit sa obtina pentru lucrarea « The Office Project » 3 premii, la 2 categorii diferite. Lucrarea a obtinut doua premii de bronz la categoriile «Virals » si « Best Use of Internet »  si argint la categoria « Websites and Microsites.<strong> </strong></p><p>“The office project” reprezinta o idee colectiva a echipei, cu ajutorul careia s-a prezentat atmosfera din birourile MB Dragan printr-o inovatie interactiva, cu ajutorul unei masinute, ce avea atasata o camera video. S-a desfasurat pe parcursul a 2 saptamani, intre orele 17 si 18. Utilizatorii puteau conduce masinuta, timp de 1 min. Fiecare “sesiune”, avea disponibila si un chat, unde utilizatorii puteau interactiona unul cu celalat. Tot proiectul a fost facut si pus la punct de catre echipa agentiei si a reprezentat o adevarat provocare. Rezultatele au depasit asteptarile. Proiectul a fost lansat pe reteaua sociala Twitter, folosindu-se un “chatroom”. In mai putin de 40 de minute au fost peste 3000 de vizitatori unici.</p></blockquote> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/mb-dragan-catsiga-3-premii-la-ador.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Poate media sociala sa inlocuiasca stirile?</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/poate-media-sociala-sa-inlocuiasca-stirile.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/poate-media-sociala-sa-inlocuiasca-stirile.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:23:17 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <guid

E un mod  mai usor si mai personal de a-ti transmite mesajul. Rata de succes este mult mai mare. De ce ai vrea sa iti surprinzi clientul? De ce ai vrea ca el sa vada reclama ta la pasta de dinti pe un site de piese auto? Da, impactul este mare, dar in afara de asta? Nu mai ajunge sa sochezi. Mesajele trebuie targetate.</p><p>Cealalta afirmatie legata de continut este partial adevarata. Da! E necesar sa ai continut bun si original, dar nu e de ajuns. Ai nevoie de o modalitate de a-ti face continutul cunoscut. Una sau mai multe platforme de content distribution, cum este spre exemplu <a
title="FTW.ro" href="http://ftw.ro/published/top24h" target="_blank">FTW.ro</a>, care sa ajute lumea sa te descopere. Ai nevoie de un design atractiv care sa scoata in fata continutul. Ai nevoie de o frecventa constanta in ceea ce priveste aparitia articolelor si multe altele. Continutul bun e doar inceputul.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/2-sfaturi-foarte-proaste.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>8</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>[RO] Inglorious Basterds pe Twitter</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/inglorious-basterds-pe-twitter.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/inglorious-basterds-pe-twitter.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 08 Sep 2009 10:22:41 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[RO]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <guid

Citeam saptamana trecuta ca Twitter a reusit sa puna o imagine foarte proasta asupra filmului <a
title="Bruno - IMDB" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0889583/" target="_blank">Bruno</a>. Hollywood s-a adaptat foarte repede la aceste reactii rapide si a acceptat ca Twitterul are nevoie de aceeasi atentie ca orice critic de film consacrat. Pentru lansarea <a
title="Inglorious Basterds" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361748/" target="_blank">Inglorious Basterds</a> au fost pregatiti cu comunicate de presa si invitatii speciale la premiera doar pt utilizatorii retelei sociale.</p><p>Mai jos gasiti un studiu facut de <a

/> <strong>Locatie</strong>: Orange Concept Store<br
/> <strong>Data</strong>: 1 Septembrie 2009 &#8211; 19:00</p><p>Radu Ionescu a vorbit despre succesul campaniei LG si Robert Anghel despre cel al campaniei de bannere cu discount in functie de temperatura de afara. O idee menita sa popularizeze lansarea magazinului online Orange.</p><p>Ionut Oprea a venit cu multe multe multe cifre si a vorbit despre social media in .ro, despre rata de cresterea a penetrarii mediilor sociale in randul utilizatorilor si despre 3 campanii derulate de Standout pe parcursul anului trecut. Prezentarea lui o gasiti <a
title="Ionut Oprea - Standout" href="http://www.slideshare.net/clickio/social-media-in-romania" target="_blank">aici</a>.</p><p>Cel mai buna mi s-a parut prezentarea lui Mark. El a vorbit despre mixul de media propice pentru cresterea vanzarilor. Despre affiliate marketing, display, SEM si retele sociale si inglobarea lor intr-o campanie sustinuta. Partea interesanta a fost cea in care a prezentat datele despre traseul consumatorilor. Unde incepe si unde se termina procesul de cumparare. Care sunt cele mai eficiente medii in acest sens. Si cum sa iti repartizezi bugetul pentru a obtine un return cat mai bun.</p><p><img

Cel ma eficient canal ar fi acela in care utilizatorul isi incepe traseul, ia decizia si face cumpararea fara a-l schimba. Dar este oare asa ceva posibil pe online? Aflu pe twitter ca cineva si-a luat ultimul model de casti de la Sony. Dau search pe google sa vad despre ce este vorba. Intru pe Amazon si citesc cateva review-uri de la utlizatori. Ma uit sa vad cat costa pe emag si daca le gasesc pe okazii. Undeva intre imi sare in ochi un adwords pe tema asta. Intreb pe twitter daca le gasesc la un pret rezonabil in centru si ma hotarasc sa le cumpar, de fapt, de la livemag pentru ca livreaza in aceeasi zi. In care canal ar trebui sa investeasca Sony?</p><p>Marketingul trebuie adaptat. Companiile trebuie sa isi schimbe modul de gandire si sa incerce sa se duca ele catre consumator mult mai mult decat sa astepte o miscare din partea consumatorului.</p><p>Alte informatii demne de mentionat de la eveniment:</p><ul><li>Academia Catavencu este brandul cu cei mai multi prieteni pe Facebook</li><li>Tuning Info este brandul cu cei mai multi prieteni pe Twitter</li><li>Facebook are peste 271.000 de utilizatori inregistrati din Romania</li></ul><p>*poza luata de <a

Inca de la inceputurile <a
title="Marketing online" href="http://www.imunteanu.com" target="_blank">marketingului online</a>, toata lumea ne scoate in fata rapoarte de CTR din care noi trebuia sa ne dam seama cat de eficienta e campania, cat de educat e targetul, cat de bun e contentul, cat de &#8230;</p><p>Odata cu maturizarea internetului, am descoperit treptat ca o rata mare de click nu inseamna neaparat sute sau mii de conevrsii. La un CTR de 1% pe o campanie de display (si aici sunt indulgent) poti avea un bounce rate de peste 80% din minim 10 motive, care nu tin neaparat de design, interactivitate sau informatia oferita pe landing page. O campanie de genul asta NU este reusita chiar daca are un CTR peste medie.</p><p>Zilele trecute vorbeam pe Twitter cu @dragosgrijincu despre un nou indice &#8220;denistatea de tweet-uri&#8221;, pe care el o vedea ca &#8220;Numarul de tweet-uri intr-o luna / numarul mediu de followeri din luna respectiva&#8221;. Era o propunere a lui de a scapa de agregatoarele de stiri. Din punctul meu de vedere, ele sunt doar o alta metoda de content distribution, iar Twitter face foarte facila dezabonarea. Dar logica lui m-a dus cu gandul la alti indici de genul acesta care pot fi facuti. Poti calcula, spre exemplu, cati oameni dau reply in medie la un tweet de-al tau sau cate RT primesti pe saptamana. Indici mult mai relevanti pe retele sociale.</p><p>Transpus la piata de display, aici putem sa ne axam pe numarul de interactiuni cu bannerul sau numarul de lead-uri venite din repectiva campanie. Se pot face campanii de bannere rentabile, daca ar sta cineva sa calculeze, sa zicem, cost/lead la fiecare format sau cost/lead/publisher (si asta ar mari un pic competitia).</p><p>Sa presupunem ca ma hotarasc sa investesc 10.000 de euro in display (nu vorbim de campanii speciale) la un CPM de 20 de euro. Asta inseamna ca imi permit 500.000 de afisari. La un CTR de 1% (ala indulgent din exemplul de mai sus) am 5000 de oameni care ajung la mine pe site. Cu un bounce rate de 60%, raman sa se uite cat de cat peste oferta 2000 de oameni. Cu un landing page foarte bine pus la punct, o sa estimam rata de conversie la 20% &#8211; 400 de clienti. Daca eu castig la fiecare vanzare cate 20 de euro, nu reusesc sa acopar nici macar pretul campaniei, ca sa nu mai vorbesc de fee-ul agentiei etc.</p><p>In exemplul de mai sus nu luam in calcul awarness-ul obtinut, bugetul fiind prea mic si scopul nostru declarat fiind generarea de vanzari. Cum putem optimiza rezultatele de mai sus fara sa iesim din buget? Asta este un exemplu clar in care CTR-ul nu mai functioneaza! Sunt alte metode de masurare a succesului! Cum sa facem sa uitam de acest CTR invechit?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/ctr-ul-e-invechit.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Spymaster makes fun of Twitter</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/spymaster-makes-fun-of-twitter.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/spymaster-makes-fun-of-twitter.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:17:00 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

The creators have made a fun little Fail Whale graphic of their own, indicating the the game will be down until Twitter comes back up.</p><p>“The Directorate can’t assassinate the failwhale,” the message on the site reads. Funny, but this is a serious problem for a growing number of services that are built using Twitter as their backbone.

That’s right. A real job. Social media as a tool and not as a fancy shiny object.<img

Maybe this sounds wired. Maybe it is. I guess my big point is that we’ve got to shift this from “gee whiz” to “this is what we do to build business relationships.”</p><p>Push away from meaningless metrics and point your efforts towards moving the bottom line.

You call a friend to chit-chat and before you hang up, you ask her to have lunch together tomorrow. She thinks about her schedule for a moment and says “Sure, let’s do that”.</p><p>Even in day to day interactions, people react to call to actions that are coherent with what they are currently feeling or thinking. It flows on from an initial encounter: Here is how you can get even more of the same. Here is how you can continue down the path of success. Here is how you can share your love (or hate) for this brand.</p><p>If you want someone to spread the word about your content or service, <strong>ask them directly</strong>. They will do it even if you don’t give them an incentive. This is what I believe from experience.</p><p><strong>Modesty</strong> and <strong>pride</strong> are usually the main obstacles. You don’t want to come off as too conceited and you’re too proud to beg. So you publish free content and give away free tools without asking for anything in return. But if you’re interested in reputation or revenue, this won’t help you at all.</p><p>If you give away free content, you should not only ask why you are doing so but learn to embed call to actions in some of them. Don’t be too modest or proud to tell someone what you want them to do for you. And never underestimate the <strong>power of reciprocity</strong>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/what-you-want-people-to-do-for-you.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The infamous GDrive</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/the-infamous-gdrive.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/the-infamous-gdrive.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 10 Feb 2009 06:00:24 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

Instead a user&#8217;s personal files and operating system could be stored on Google&#8217;s own servers and accessed via the internet.

This first impression is then carried over to other parts of the website, like content and professionalism.</p><p>When you break it down, web design is simply the manipulation of content and images on a website to appeal to the perceptions of a target audience. The psychology community has conducted studies since the early days of the internet. Take a look at the <a
href="http://www.barackobama.com/" target="_blank">Barack Obama</a> website &#8211; for me, the attraction was instant!  And I can’t see that website looking as good if it were in any other colour.</p><p>All humans have a psychological need to feel secure, and on the internet that need is multiplied considerably. Taking this into account, websites must incite a feeling of security within a visitor before they will take any action on your website.  There are many ways to accomplish this – disclaimers, privacy policies, brand-name security logos, etc – but the best way is to simply be upfront about all aspects of your website, product or business.</p><p>Pay attention in the first few seconds of visiting a new website and take note of why you like it and what they have done that is effective. After a while you will begin to pick up smaller details which is really what online marketing and web design is all about.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/the-psychology-behind-it-all.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Fire the Client From Hell</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/fire-the-client-from-hell.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/fire-the-client-from-hell.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 09 Feb 2009 01:03:04 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

title="Buzzmarketing - Amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1591840929/ref=ase_buzzmarketi%0Dng-20/103-2587604-3683828?v=glance&amp;s=books" target="_blank">book</a>, Mark Hughes, is the host of Buzz Factor, a radio talk show, and the CEO of Buzzmarketing, a consulting firm. He has also been an executive in Half.com and Pepsi.</p><p>The book is divided into sixteen chapters with an introduction and an afterword. Inside it are anecdotes and accounts of how some big brands and not-yet big brands have used buzz marketing, making readers feel like gossip-mongers peeping into the practices of big companies. This approach and the writer&#8217;s easy-going style turn this business book into a fun-to-read but very informative and serious work.</p><p>When I started reading the first few pages I knew, as a reader, this was a book I shouldn&#8217;t miss, since the premise of the book and its entertainment value defied convention. The book was letting its readers peak into those other avenues of marketing that worked better and possibly faster. The aim of this book is to teach its readers buzz marketing so they can &#8220;grow faster, expand further, and do it for one-tenth of what it costs by more traditional means.&#8221;</p><p>Buzz marketing needs people to use their gray matter and steer away from conventional, pushy business tactics. Traditional advertising spends more, gains less. Buzz marketing spends much less, yet gains more cash and people&#8217;s trust, because buzz marketing is creative in seeking and employing opportunities.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/buzz-marketing.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Web 2.0 died in 2008</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/web-20-died-in-2008.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/web-20-died-in-2008.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 05 Jan 2009 08:22:55 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

There’s a long history of people trying to come up with a unified definition of Web 2.0. But like the elusive theory of everything in physics, a single, agreed-upon definition of what Web 2.0 really means has been hard to come by.</p><p>Probably the most widely accepted definition is <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0">Tim O’Reilly’s</a> compact definition: “Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as a platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.”</p><p>What we generally like to think of as Web 2.0 is “Upgrade your online image,”  joining relevant online social communities like LinkedIn, and Twitter, blogging, and making sure your profiles at other social sites are clean of college party photos.</p><p>In reality, Web 2.0 has always been a marketing term. The confusion over Web 2.0 — whatever it means and however it is now being used — has been helpful. The discussion that those terms have prompted have been helpful, I think, in figuring out where the web is going and how we’re going to get there; and that’s what is important.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/web-20-died-in-2008.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Apple is leaving Macworld</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/apple-is-leaving-macworld.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/apple-is-leaving-macworld.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:30:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

title="Apple leaves Macworld" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/16/apple-leaves-macworld-its-about-time/" target="_blank">announced</a> that this January’s MacWorld event will be the company’s last, and that Steve Jobs won’t be giving the event’s much-anticipated keynote. I find this fascinating. First there is the opinion that Apple wants to lunch products as they are ready to sell and not wait to make a major announcement in January or July. Also rumors say that this decision has to do with Steve Job&#8217;s health.</p><blockquote><p>Apple is reaching more people in more ways than ever before, so like many companies, trade shows have become a very minor part of how Apple reaches its customers.</p></blockquote><p>It is because of the trade shows that blogs across the land halt EVERYTHING and dedicate that hour or so for headlining everything Apple announce.  They are a major player in providing the Hype that Apple has received, most in part due to the trade shows, the &#8220;secrets&#8221;, the skepticism. On the other hand there is nothing stopping Apple hosting their own special events, as they often do. They get the same hype, and cost a  lot less.  So the answer can not be here, in the lack of marketing ROI.</p><p>Microsoft runs its developer conference and Apple will no doubt continue to run its WWDC event.  But what can be the motive for this decision that created a lot of rumor among fans all over the internet?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/apple-is-leaving-macworld.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>5 predictions for the future internet</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/5-predictions-for-the-future-internet.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/5-predictions-for-the-future-internet.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 17 Dec 2008 06:30:37 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

From the top down, we’ve listened to your feedback and thought deeply about the design and the result is a WordPress that’s just plain faster. Nearly every task you do on your blog will take fewer clicks and be faster in 2.7 than it did in a previous version.</p><p>Next you’ll begin to notice the new features subtly sprinkled through the new interface: the new dashboard that you can arrange with drag and drop to put the things most important to you on top, QuickPress, comment threading, paging, and the ability to reply to comments from your dashboard, the ability to install any plugin directly from WordPress.org with a single click, and sticky posts.</p></blockquote><p>One thing i find interesting about this version besides the all talked about auto-update feature is that every screen is customizable. Let’s say you never care about author on your post listings — just click “Screen Options” and uncheck it and it’s instantly gone from the page. The same for any module on the dashboard or write screen.</p><p>Here is the official video showing more of the options:</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/wordpress-27.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Google adds a PDF viewer to Gmail</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/google-adds-a-pdf-viewer-to-gmail.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/google-adds-a-pdf-viewer-to-gmail.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 15 Dec 2008 06:03:16 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

It’s blazing fast, and it does include a search function, and lets you download or print the PDF if you really need to.</p><p>There are two other benefits to this, the first being the updated page view which lets you hop around the document a whole lot faster. The other is the built-in zoom, which scales the text to fit your monitor with a higher degree of detail than the text resizer found in your browser.</p><p>However before you try it out yourself you need to know the new PDF viewer doesn’t seem to work in Firefox, but works just fine in Chrome.

Obviously, advertisers buy ads to gain exposure and improve their bottom line. Some of the big players may be primarily concerned with brand awareness and general exposure, while others are only concerned with sales of products.</p><p>Keeping the desires of advertisers in mind throughout the design process is critical if the website is going to be selling ads directly to other businesses. AdSense and affiliate ads can be placed just about anywhere on a website, although the results will vary, but direct ad revenue will depend on what advertisers feel they are getting for their money.</p><p>I personally think that in 2009 ads will pay more attention to user interaction; at what extent is the user engaged in the marketing process. So we are going to see a lot of banners that will lose the &#8220;click here&#8221; approach and tend to promote advertising as entertainment on the web.</p><p>Customize your product, interact with widgets or any other kind of interaction for the user will benefit advertisers. Also a big step will be the &#8220;cost per action&#8221; method applied on the Romanian market. This is going to work taking into consideration the big number of blogs and the influence they had in 2008.</p><p>I persoanally think that 2009 will be an interesting year and with a little mantality shift advertisers can contribute themselves to the gowth of the local internet scene.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/advertising-as-entertainment.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Geek Meet Craiova #2</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/geek-meet-craiova-2.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/geek-meet-craiova-2.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:53:49 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EN]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <guid

Some elements of the semantic web are expressed as prospective future possibilities that are yet to be implemented or realized.</p><p>To get an idea of this watch the video below:</p><p>[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGg8A2zfWKg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0]</p><p>But all this seems a nice utopia.

The semantic Web puts data into semantic formats on the fly, and targets ads based on the meaning of data with a high degree of accuracy.</p><p>This is good news for the user &#8211; no more embarrassing keyword results, no more Viagra ads on sites about feminism, and an end to annoying cookies.</p><p>Do you agree that the Semantic Web will bring even more effective advertising to the Web?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/the-semantic-web.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Google and the recesion</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/google-and-the-recesion.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/google-and-the-recesion.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 18 Nov 2008 05:35:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

When you talk about getting rapid adoption, it doesn’t make sense to target less popular devices first, even when one happens to be your own.</p><p>You can find the free Google application in the iPhone App Store. Once you’ve either installed this application for the first time, or had it updated, you are ready to start searching with your voice. Launch the application, put it to your ear, then speak your search query to give this feature a try. I expect to see a similar feature for the G1 phone.</p><p>Where is Google going with all this? Before the recent downturn of the economy, people wondered if Google would be affected negatively by such an incident. It was a valid question, since Google’s revenue is almost entirely in the hands of companies advertising spend, and it’s easy to speculate about what would happen to those budgets.</p><p>It&#8217;s conceivable that Google will see less of an impact by these hard economic times compared to some, but I’ve got a feeling that they might even thrive if these hard times persist. As <a

I also think Google will be seeing a higher than expected adoption rate for Google Apps.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/google-and-the-recesion.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>LinkedIn vs. Facebook</title><link>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/linkedin-vs-facebook.html</link> <comments>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/linkedin-vs-facebook.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 17 Nov 2008 04:55:03 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Tudor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid

Developers include Amazon, Box.net, Google, Huddle, Six Apart, SlideShare, Tripit and WordPress. I wouldn’t call these applications exactly enterprise class, but they could be useful in the corporate environment.</p><p>The most interesting app is LinkedIn’s in-house developed Company Buzz. The application tracks what is said about your company and products on Twitter. It would be great to develop it more aggregating content form all over the big social networks and get an overview of what is being said.</p><p>This comes in a time of &#8220;economic crisis&#8221; and clearly differentiates LinkedIn from the games and other time wasting apps found elsewhere. By doing this it will take it&#8217;s &#8220;social&#8221; element a bit further maybe in the near future becoming also an intranet service for the companies of the new era.</p><p>On the &#8220;other side of town&#8221; rumor has it that Facebook may be about to roll out the ability for users to group their Facebook friends into categories such as &#8220;professional&#8221;, &#8220;family&#8221;, &#8220;close friends&#8221; etc., from which different levels of profile access could be applied. With this move Facebook is trying to step a bit closer in the professional networking scene. But can it get passed the IQ tests and the trivia questions regarding TV shows?</p><p>LinkedIn launched a Facebook app to enable company job openings to be advertised through Facebook, but users have requested a much bigger integration. How long will it be until a new social network will appear combing the best features from what now is separated across the internet: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. Combing this with productivity tools such as Google apps and a cool project management system as Basecamp they will make history for sure. But can users these days support another social network?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tudortotolici.ro/linkedin-vs-facebook.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
