Working on the Net Café on Social Media I'm organising for the IAB Belgium tonight. Was greatly inspired by all the recent talks I had on the subject with a couple of people I admire a lot (more on this after the IAB- want to keep content fresh for the audience ;). Was also greatly inspired by all the talks I had with existing clients or prospects. Thought about it before but gave me the idea to share some of the comments I got from my meetings. Some have made me laugh loud, some almost cry out of despair, some have proned more interesting discussions or thinking on my side to see how/what I should explain to answer them. Just decided to create a new category to share inspiring or not so inspiring quotes with you. The idea is to share a mindset not too make fun out of a particular person, so its going to be nameless obviously.
If you have some you'd like to share, shoot in the comments or by e-mail I'll publish them.
My favorites right now:
Quote 1
Me: "what are your objectives? " Him "nothing specific". Me "your audience? Him "Not defined".
Quote2
" Why should we care? Marketing existed well before bloggers".
Quote3
"Bloggers are paranoid people".
Quote4
First contact, e-mail brief: "My client wants to create a Facebook group. Develop a blog. Reach out to possible audience on YouTube. Can you send us a price estimate? For tomorrow? Thanks!"
Hi Greg! Have to say that one makes me hesitate between laughing and crying :-) Contact was attending the Net Café on Thursday. Me after the event: "Sorry did not take the time to answer your yesterday email yet and" Contact: " I just got why". Cool :-) Next! ;)
