    The Sciamachy between Big Data And Big Ideas

    Much to my surprise, the last couple of weeks saw an increase in conversations I had about a topic that apparently does neither get old nor boring. It’s been around for a while but still creates a natural tension – which is, in a way, exciting for strategists: the sciamachy between the Big Idea and Big Data. It is a debate […]

  • Becoming Part of a Cultural Conversation: #backtothefuture

    Today is the day. Apparently. October 21, 2015. I have to admit, I never been much into this #backtothefuture hype. But other people are. Lots of them. It’s a significant part of (geek/nerd) culture. That’s why brands are, too. Tagesschau, one of Germany’s most prestigious, traditional, conservative, and credible news services found a way to tap into […]

  • What Advertising Can Learn From BuzzFeed

    What Advertising Can Learn From BuzzFeed

    A few days ago I attended a panel discussion/interview with Juliane Leopold, founding editor of BuzzFeed Germany, at betahaus Hamburg. She talked about how everything started, how she set up the team, how BuzzFeed wants to be political and opinionated, etc. All of this wasn’t really surprising until the moment when she opened the site on […]

    2014 In Review

    These are the last hours of 2014. Time for a very short review: 2014 was a year almost like any other. A lot of work. A lot of learning. A lot of torn ligaments in my knee. A lot of burgers.

    3 Reasons to Favor Direct Over Indirect

    Last night there was a party in one of the apartments facing my backyard. The music was playing annoyingly loudly – or so I thought. Suddenly another neighbor started to play his electronic guitar at an even higher volume. His plan was to get the other party’s guests to stop the noise. The lesson here? […]

    Rotting teeth and immediate communication

    I stumbled upon an interesting fact in this Youtube video by Erik Qualman: It seems that more people own a mobile device than a toothbrush.
