Spotted in the wild

Ovi in Freda

Own, bought, earned

One of my colleagues posted online the model we’ve been using for planning our digital marketing.  If you are involved in this kind of activities and don’t know where to start, it is an excellent tool.

All of this of course relates to spreading the word, participating in & enabling  conversations. That’s one of the reasons why I love my job.  We are building the future one day at a time.

Corporate vs. personal blogging

You may have noticed that the rate of new posts in this blog has slowed down a little.  Most of it is simply due to the fact that I’m spending a hell of a lot of time working these days (a common joke with my buddy Phil is that we see more of each other during the week than of our wives), so I don’t have that much time to share certain things as when I was studying my masters.

Furthermore, most of the impulses and insights that I have nowadays are related to work, and as you may have noticed I don’t feel comfortable blogging about it externally unless its public, live and water under the bridge (a not-so-uncommon problem).  For that reason I have started a Nokia internal blog where I post my thoughts on services, devices, marketing and industry shifts as I see them happening.  If you also work for the company and would like to read it, tell me and I’ll send you the link).

This doesn’t mean that this blog will whither and die (on the contrary, I plan to give it more attention now that it has finally moved to its own server and I was able to clean all 800-plus entries), but that I’m still trying to evaluate what focus to give it.  Let’s see what it brings, and hope you want to continue reading.

Working with interesting people

My work, of which I usually don’t talk about in this blog, can sometimes be great, sometimes frustrating but in the end one of the things that makes it worthwhile is the people.

To have an idea, you can check some of their public blogs:

Downtown Mexico City on Ovi

Disclaimer: Yes, I work on this company and my job is related to this.  It is, however, beside the point, I'm sharing this because it made me happy.

So, as you know, we recently launched certain new products and services at an event in Barcelona (that I didn't attend this year).  I've been following the reactions to this in social media for a while, and of course am a heavy user of our own services.

Now imagine my pleasure when I check Mexico City in Ovi and I find this:

I knew that we had 3D landmarks, but seeing so many in Mexico City (especially the Angel of Independence) just brought a huge grin to my face.  Especially since I'm so far away from there, and won't go back this Christmas.

Pangea Day

Pangea Day is a global event taking place tomorrow, May 10th, that aims to bring the world together through film, with the idea that if you could tell something to the world, what would it be?  More about it here.

If you are watching Pangea Day and would like to share your experience, this would be a place to start.

E-Marketing

My still not that long career has taken me from very different roles.  As an engineer, started in a technical area around content management, then moved to product/project management, followed by sales support for different (but related) businesses and now, starting on the 1st of January, will be doing e-marketing for specific services.

Since the area itself is so new, there is a lot to learn, but the reason that drove me to take this position is simply that this is where marketing is moving.

Any hints?

Nokia Online Share 3.0

I have been too busy to tell you guys about this application, now available in Beta labs.  Basically, the support for posting to Vox and Flickr just got much better, with better tagging and the possibility to follow the photostreams of others straight from your mobile device.  Darla Mack has a good review of the app.

Please give us your feedback (here or, faster, at Tommi's blog).
