I spend a day in Paradise

thanks to Ogilvy. Lovely bunch in a lovely place. Great approach, awesome presentation. Have been lucky enough to meet Benoit Octave (interview will follow in a couple of days).
Below my French feedback for Digimedia.

"Au propre, dans une charmante propriété privée de la campagne flamande, comme au figuré, le Paradis était le thème principal de la mise en scène réalisée par Ogilvy pour sa désormais traditionnelle journée d'information réservée à la presse*, joyeusement animée par Jan Van Aken, CEO Ogilvy Belgique et Mie Demin, Strategic Creativity Advocate.

Le Paradis, ou en tout cas un morceau, promesse quotidienne de l'annonceur à son consommateur. La beauté parfaite, la jeunesse éternelle, la pureté en flacon et/ou en bouteille... Paradis illusoire, partiel, temporaire pour un consommateur blasé, septique, méfiant.

Le Paradise shift expliqué par Ogilvy.

Brussels Girl Geek dinner

Two years after the original London event, Brussels has now joined the network of Girl Geek Dinner, thanks to Clo's initiative. Who talked about summer break? Hmmmmmmm let's have dinner!

Girl Geek Dinners are events for females who class themselves as girly and geeky. The events have a technical focus and are light hearted and fun.

Pitching la suite

Talking about Pitching, I just stumbled upon these mirrored blogs, the Bad Pitch and the Good Pitch. Makes me think of theses kids' jokes: "Bad Pitch and Good Pitch are in a boat...".  I'll be doing an article over pitching and buzz seeding for the next Inside, so if you feel like sharing experiences on the subject, drop me a mail. Lurkers, I'm talking to you :-)

Seeding in Belgium

On July 24th, I received a mail whose subject was 'Test a Senseo mug?'.

That's obviously one of the nice things about blogging, receiving stuff to try. Or make your loved ones happy. My Passoa bottle and its glasses enjoyed a trip to Grenoble (bro you have to send me feedback on this!). This time my Senseo mug was adopted by my husband the minute he saw it. 

What I like about the action (followed by what he likes about the mug)

Belgian bloggers

now have a group on Facebook thanks to Appelogen. Join us!

Little book of travel

Kris Hoet just launched a new blog the little book of travel. If you're a frequent traveller - or not so frequent- and have travel experiences who want to share in a funny way, drop him a mail. Or just go and rss it.
 

And if you wonder how I find so quickly a new blog (hot from today), it's because like thousands of Europeans bloggers I've become addicted to Facebook (now you know what I'm up to these days- am practising the 'Relax' concept- and not only with ultra sounds Luc). And I saw right on my profile page this late afternoon that my friend Kris has created a new group (invitations will be sent soon!). If you haven't done it yet, register NOW with Facebook. But you've been warned: VERY addictive..

Enjoy your new journey Kris!
This one's for you: "Travels instead of broadening the mind often merely lengthens the conversation" (Elizabeth Drew)

QuechFuck!

As Tim said 'my blog was silent for a while'. And I was thinking of taking a break from a most enjoyed silent break with a more happy post. But I'm still mad at the all Quetchup thing as I've just been caught up while cleaning my mails and chatting with Alex (yes, Alex, I promised I'll never do it again :(
I innocently went through the all process wondering all the time in a remote part of my conscience why Clo invited me to what looks like a dating website :-) I do apologize to all of my contacts for the inconvenience and to Alex to not focus exclusively on our chat :-). I might as well send them all an e-mail to do so in case they missed the 'all story' while coming back from their holidays. NICE. Quechup YOU SUCK.

Lesson learned: never be late with your RSS readings...
