Magntize: Make Yourself An Awesome v-Card

 

I’ve got to give some credit to these guys who have developed this fantastic new tool to create virtual business cards.

More than a business card you are actually given the chance to create a very personal landing page, including short bio, links to all your personal social spaces (automatically creating a stream from all your content as well) and a tool to allow people downloading your v-card.

It’s not a groundbreaking idea as there’s other people who have done this before like cardl.ly or dooid, however the design and implementation on the site are just out of this world…fantastic design, awesome templates and a flawless structure!

Also, if you didn’t get it, you get to have all this for FREE. However, if you’re willing to pay the $9 a month for premium membership, you can also get:

• a custom domain
• access to some cool premium themes (which you can preview)
• CV upload/download functionality
• an iPhone version of the site
• a personal RSS feed
• an email address people can reach you on – transferring content to your real one!

I can definitely see the benefit of having such an awesome looking v-card, especially for the ones who have no web-design skills whatsoever… and I can already imagine a lot of friends and colleagues who would find this tool extremely useful.

Well done chaps!

The Antwerp Fashion Weekend

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am terribly excited about this weekend as it sees the first ever ‘Fashion Weekend’ in the city of Antwerp.
I will be joined by 9 fantastic European Fashion bloggers who will be having a fun packed fashion-themed weekend in one of my favourite European cities.

Make sure you check out the newly launched site ‘Shopping in Antwerp‘ – Once in there, click on THE HUNT on the top right corner and you’ll be able to read more about the event and see the bloggers who are taking part.

Also, you can join the conversation and enjoy all the content from the event simply becoming a fan of the Facebook page we’ve put together for the program.

If your ‘forte’ is either fashion, food, diamonds or architecture – Antwerp is definitely the city for you!

Ciao,

Enzo

The future is bright…

Last night I had the great opportunity to sit within a judging panel at the University of the Arts London (London College of Communication) where students had been asked to showcase their own visions for an advertising poster to promote the London 2012 Olympics.

Because I was approached by the Olympics’ social media team  few weeks ago for a bloggers’ tour of the Olympic Park (which was awesome) and also because being myself a big follower of the Games and a massive fan of their current actvities, it was rather odd, and of course a rare coincidence, to be judging on such topic!

With me on the panel there were Claire Tritton, Account Manager on Ford Europe at Ogilvy, and Deborah from ERM Recruiting (both ex-graduate at LCC)

We had around 30 entries in total to go over and analyze – which wasn’t too bad at all! While some tried too hard to impress, not exactly meeting the brief, and with some others not really getting a clear message across – the ones which stood out definitely had a very clever approach to the brief with some very good thinking/strategies behind them (some of them quite impressive actually).

Apart from the winner entry (picture above in the title) which had a very straightforward and insightful message above and beyond the simple concept itself (ask away), two very good ones I remember were a Blackberry Sponsorship-Ad trying to reposition the smart phone as an entertainment device (therefore fighting for a piece of the iPhone’s market share) and the ORANGE one, where the heritage of ‘Building a Brighter Future’ embodied perfectly both the brand and the Olympics’ values with an hopeful message in bringing people together in such horrible times (economic downturn)

Overall the evening was great, very good to meet some ex-graduates who are doing exceptionally well in the industry, a very good catch up with some ex-tutors, and definitely an excellent and hopeful glimpse into what such young talents have in hold for the future of our industry

I will be posting all the entries on a designated Flickr group once I have them all in, it would be great to hear your opinions

Any questions, give me a shout! To all the students who were part of it, a very well done to all of you out there and good luck with the rest of your course…

Cheerio and be in touch
