Mary in Metro.

I love this weekend! Just being here by myself, spend 75% of the day in bed. Just what I needed. This week will be quite intense, but very fun!!! I'll attend a lecture in how to use Facebook in the "right" way for a company, 2 mingle events, and a photographer from Metro is coming to our office. And the article will actually focus on....ME.

 I'll tell you more about this later!!!

Waiting for Carl to get back to Copenhagen. But I hope it is not tooo soon since I have to clean up here from the mess I have created when he was away ;)

7 Social Media Tips You Can Learn From Richard Branson

1. Tell stories. “People respond to stories, not data.”
2. Be creative. “Experiment with new ways of telling stories and make the most of all the new tools out there like Tumblr and Storify.”
3. Choose the right channel. “Match your content to different platforms and audiences.”
4. Be truthful. “Don’t pretend you’re something you’re not.”
5. Work together. “Collaborate with people and organizations who are fighting for the same cause.”
6. Have fun. “Work should be fun and making work fun brings success.”

Long day.

This has been a very long, but also a very good, day. Woke up at 7.30, went o Malmö without any problems. Went to the bank. Talked to a very helpful customer service worker. She helped me order a new VISA, the only problem is that they have to send it to Hudiksvall. Hopefully my mom can pick it up for me?

Went to Folk Å Rock for coffee and lunch. Suddenly, I see my friend Marcus (who I got to know in Umeå) walk by outside. Fun with unexpected meetings! He works for Egmont now in Stockholm, so he had a client meeting in Malmö today. It's good to have your eyes open, you never know who you will see and meet, wherever you are!

The meeting with Tim (sales manager at eFinance) also went well. We started planning for a marketing and launch strategy. Exciting! Billmate seems to be a great service. A brand who is trusted and has many customers already, even though the service is not officially launched yet!

After the meeting at eFinance, I went to Starbucks for the release party of Cathrin Frisemo's book about the digital work life. It was a nice event! Interesting subject. You can find my article and interview with Cathrin here.

Marketing consultant.

Woke up early today to take the train to Malmö. Started with "Måndagsboost" at Mindfloor, where Cecilia told us about mindfulness and also had some exercises with us. The purpose was to make us feel less stress, to calm down, make us feel aware of our mind. body, soul etc. I don't know if it worked for me, but it was different and fun to try :)

After the boost, I went to Lund to meet Stefan and Petter, who I am a marketing and communications consultant for now. I like to work with people who really believe in what they are doing, and who are real entrepreneurs. Fun and a great learning experience! I will continue consulting for them for a while. Thanks for the lunch also!!! :)

Had some problems with going back to Copenhagen, since I discovered I have lost my VISA. Think it was yesterday, when I bought my ticket in the machines at Copenhagen C. Thanks to Jonas Bigelius who could save me (borrow me some cash for my ticket back home)!!! Today's hero :)

And tomorrow, I will start working for eFinance Nordic. Get more information about the business, make a marketing and communications plan. I start to feel like a real marketer now ;)
