2011 Out The Door. Welcome 2012!

by Kurt on January 1, 2012

Happy New Year everyone, and thank you for the support to my blog so far.

My 2012 new year resolution for this blog is two-fold:

(1) more, better, faster, deeper marketing content
(2) video-interviews with some interesting marketers and entrepreneurs

So stay tuned! And subscribe to my newsletter (on the left of my blog page).

Here’s a video from Good Morning Marketers. A short & snappy view [by Tech President Jason Therrien and Account Manager Michael Schwabe] on the big “themes” in marketing in 2012. And they are so spot-on …

#1 Mobile life
#2 Real time marketing
#3 Content strategy
#4 Integrated measurement & metrics

 

2012 is the YEAR OF THE WATER DRAGON in the Chinese calendar [January 23, 2012 – February 9, 2013]. Not be be supersticious, but it is an interesting year for business according to those who believe in that: “Black Water Dragon gives happiness and success, keeps the family and good people. During this period we should be bold and not humble.”

Here are my personal wishes for you and your business.

In 2012 I hope you will be able to …

JUDGE wisely. Times are rough, economies unstable, and consumers uncertain. That begs for strong insight, good oversight, and fast adaptability. Be Bold. 

FEEL social media better. Do it yourself! You can’t escape social media any longer. And in order to understand the discussion on the media shift, on power of engagement systems, on do’s and dont’s for social media, you need to be IN that world yourself. Tweet, blog, share  -it will change your world.

LIVE deeply. Life is about 4 things only: health, mental strength, family, and (personal) progression. May you master them all. If you do, business will be good as well.

 

To close this post, I leave you with PiNK, and an  appropriate up-beat song to celebrate the new year:

RAISE YOUR GLASS!

 

Thank you for reading this blog post. Hope to see you back on the site during 2012,
