For the first time ever, a major international marketing conference called The Marketing Kingdom settles in the Croatian capital of Zagreb. Yesterday, the conference was opened by our very own Sietse Bakker, who talked about the need to understand human psychology to optimally use social media.

“Every human being has the same psychological needs. They have different priorities, and do different things to fulfill their needs. When you understand the needs of your audience and manage to fulfill them, you can achieve your goals,” he explained an audience of some 450 marketing professionals from across the Balkan region.

After the presentation, Croatia’s largest commercial broadcaster, Nova TV, recorded a featured interview with Sietse, to be aired in the days to come. Croatian portal Dnevnik featured an interview as well, in which he talks about the preparations for the Eurovision Song Contest we are involved with.

P.World, the company behind The Marketing Kingdom, sets itself apart from other conference organizers by turning its events into experiences. Spectacular opening shows and sudden surprises make their events well worth visiting.

Other notable speakers at The Marketing Kingdom were Bruce Bale of Facebook, Lars Silberbauer of Lego, Martijn de Jong of Tele2. Today, representatives of Yahoo!, Citi Bank, Microsoft, Puma and Philips will take the stage.

This weekend, details leaked out from a report of the Dutch Safety Board, analyzing the way a large fire in the Dutch city of Moerdijk (near Rotterdam) was handled by the involved parties. Apart from the critical remarks about the handling of the crisis, experts slammed crisis communication by the responsible government authorities.

“A crisis is much alike an event, with all its complications, whereas the main difference is of course that you don’t want a crisis to happen,” says Marieke Duijts, Client Director and communications expert at Wow!works. “It is interesting to see that despite strict plans and regular disaster simulations, things didn’t go as planned” she added, suggesting that governmental organizations can learn valuable lessons from the event industry when it comes to crisis communications planning.

On the 13th of January, the first ever Winter Youth Olympics have kicked off in Innsbruck, Austria. Hundreds of talented young athletes headed for the snow to impress the world with their skills. But they are not the only ones put to the test. At the same time, the organizing committee is trying to warm up a young generation to back the Games through web content and social media. 

Creating a fan community from scratch is always hard, both for new initiatives as well as established brands. One can argue that the Winter Youth Olympics are both. “With an event that only takes place once every four years, you don’t get many opportunities to get it right. Especially for an event for youth, which by the time the next edition takes place, has grown up,” says Sietse Bakker, CEO of Wow!works and events expert. Read more

Recently, YouTube announced its ambition to launch various television channels through its website, directly to end consumers. Such business model, skipping the traditional providers of television, is called ‘Over The Top’ (OTT). Despite skipping the companies bringing the signal on most consumers’ television sets, the new service is likely to be governed by traditional media law, says a spokesperson of the Dutch Media Commission to the website Totaal TV.

Meanwhile, electronics companies are rolling out so-called intelligent TV sets, that are directly connected to the internet. These TV sets give consumers simplified ways to watch video on demand and IPTV-channels, such as the ones YouTube is planning to launch. Read more
