CityMail?

By
What’s the deal with the new postal service CityMail? It’s clearly a good initiative and Post Danmark also need the competition. But their campaign with acrobatic – almost flying delivery service. I really don’t get it. Shouldn’t they compete on the pricing? And not on how high they ca ...

Berlin. Die schönste Stadt der Welt!

By
So, I spent a couple of days in Berlin with my class. God, why am I living in Copenhagen I ask myself? It’s no wonder so many creative people are ‘fleeing’ this city to go live in Berlin. Because never have I been in a city quite like that. Everywhere you go, creative stuff going [ ...

Storytelling in the morning paper

By
I do not know if you have heard the hit single from the Danish underground duo Trolle Siebenhaar. The instant I heard ”Sweet Dogs” I thought it was a fantastic tune. I just didn’t know why. Today I read the answer in the morning paper. The singer, Ane Trolles vocal has been recorded in Martin ...

Save a CEO today

By
Donate 20 dkr to Henning Dyremose (the former CEO of TDC) or other CEOs. The website www.redchefen.dk is created by the recently founded Communist Party and they give you an opportunity for helping CEOs in need. “Save the CEO” is clearly an ironic campaign – but the Danish communis ...

By

Pseudo-ethics

By
The other day Sandra was posting about my lecture at RUC. We discussed how product placement and stealth-marketing is increasingly becoming part of PR-strategies, more specifically how delivering stories to individual bloggers is possible and what the ethical challenges are. I think the question was ...

Cancer-blog from Kræftens Bekæmpelse well off

By
Last week we helped Kræftens Bekæmpelse (The Danish Cancer Society) launch their blog “Blog om kræft”. It’s going well so far. During the first week 13 readers with some connection to this hideous disease chose to comment on Frede Olesens first blog post. And today Frede has bee ...

The impact of Dave Matthews Band

By
Even though I am beginning to understand the conventions about blogging I sometimes still find it a bit tricky to post texts on a blog. Why? Because some days, you just don’t tumble across the most interesting stories or issues that you’ve got strong opinions about. So it becomes a challenge to ...

CSR should correspond with the business concept

By
Something interesting caught my attention as I was reading the morning paper. In a supplement to Politiken about Trends I read two articles about CSR in the fashion industry. Two Danish designers with two different takes on CSR. Malene Birger is ambassador for Unicef, and if you buy clothes from thi ...

Dick still sets the standard for Powerpoint-presentations

By
I just stumbled on the blog of Dick Hardt of Sxip Identity (pronounced “skip”) and remembered his wonderful presentation at OSCON 2005 where he’s talking about the idea of verified digital identity – a way of avoiding the need to remember those billions of usernames and passw ...

Stagis is looking for a new place to live. We are searching for a new spot in Copenhagen. We love it here at Gasværksvej, where the office have been located for about four years in what used to be an old stable. But to be frank we simply don’t have enough space. And another thing […] ...
