Social business design


There are number of companies who think of marketing as directing all efforts and resources into customer service, hoping to generate positive WOM. This has been so from the start. Upgrade to just being good and hoping somebody to notice, is being visibly and actively close to your customers - strategically choosing your channels. Regarding to previous, it would be interesting to stop on social business design, as a great mean to bring your company really close to your customers. It’s a interesting and growing field I would liked to know more about, so anyone more acquainted, please drop me a line here.

CiniMini Wacky Slider



My kid is a victim of advertising. So I was forced to buy Nestle CiniMinis. As I amuse myself from time to time with clumsy text adaptions, then this package was a real treat for me. This particular package is translated into 5 languages, although in some places 3 of them was chosen, to save some space. How considerate (Estonian was left out).

I can imagine the lengthy process of this package adaption into all these five fabulous languages (Czech, Hungarian, Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian). And the enormous effort the designer has put into compressing all this information into this box. It must have been hard work.

I’m not going into details, as blog entries should maintain a snappy content and length.  Let’s just say Google translator is a linguist god compared to this case.
