Zelf ondernemen is bikkelen en soms vraag je je af of je niet een beetje gelukt kunt gebruiken. Een mazzeltje hier, een meevallertje daar. Toch heb ik niet het idee dat geluk zomaar komt aanwaaien.
Tot op zekere hoogte maak je je eigen geluk, maar zou het niet fijn zijn om af en toe de gedachte te hebben dat je wel gewoon meevallers hebt, of een beschermengel die over je waakt? Er zijn genoeg sportclubs of evenementen die bijvoorbeeld geloven in een mascotte. Een door een reclame bureau hersenspinseltje waarvan de eigenaar moet denken dat het ongeluk voorkomt. Hoewel je al merkt dat ik niet zo snel hierin zal geloven zijn er velen die toch graag vast houden aan de kracht van een mascotte. Alleen al de wielrenners in de huidige Tour de France hebben hun speciale kettinkje, bijzondere oude sokken of een ondershirt wat altijd mee moet.
Kern is dat de mascotte wordt gelijkgesteld aan de persoon, club of organisatie. Gaat het met de mascotte goed, dan gaat het ook goed met de organisatie. Of in dit geval, met je eigen organisatie.
Nu hebben wij bij CreatAd daar onze eigen draai aan weten te geven. Het gaat namelijk goed met ‘Mascotte vloei’ uit Nederland. En nou wil het gelukkig zo zijn dat Mascotte een competitie gaat uitzetten op CreatAd.
Dus het gaat goed met Mascotte, en dus ook met ons!

Yesterday, after a long and intensive meeting, we elected the winners for the Rabo mobiel competition. First of all, we would like to thank all the competitors and voters! We can proudly say that this was one of the biggest competitions we had so far.
The winner that was chosen by the Rabobank is Jeffrey. He had a great design in which he combined a phone and a wallet. See how smooth he did this:
The community decided that Menno, with his businesslike design, made the best creation. See how he made a clear design about the possibilities of Rabo Mobiel:

This morning Dutchcowboys.nl publiced our first post for this month. We have been awarded as ‘start up of the month’ at Dutchcowboys. This means that we can post our own ideas, opinions and fantasies on DC for a month. A nice way for us to let the readers of DC know what keeps us busy and what our vision is about stuff like the online advertisement developments, crowdsourcing and a lot of other (non)sense in our world.
We hope to write a lot more interesting stuff this month. For now, check out:

We hade quite a busy month in which we had to leave the office once in a while.
First we were nominated for Sprout magazine’s ‘Business Babies 2009′. An election for the 25 best entrepeneurs under 25 years. An honour to be selected but unfortunately Danny Mekic from domeinbalie.nl had the honour to win this years election (Congratulations to him!). Nevertheless it was great to be selected and to meet a lot of succesfull entrepeneurs. We experienced it as a compliment to us after a busy and exciting year!
A few days after the Sprout magazine event and election, we attended at the first edition of the ‘Co-creation event’. This event focusses on co-creation and crowsourcing oppurtunities. There were different kind of workshops and speakers on this subject.
We also hosted a workshop titled ‘Advertising goes Social’ . In this workshop we discussed the socials aspects of advertisement in 2009. By means of the great ads we have on CreatAd.com we showed the results of crowdsourcing by CreatAd. For a little impression of the co-creation event check out this video on Dutchcowboys and their review about our workshop.
After all, we can say we were glad to leave our precious office this month for these nice and usefull events. Up to the next ones.

After the CreatAd competition we decided to use one of the designs for a poster campaign.
This week we received the posters, as you can see, that were inspired by this design.
With these posters we’re going to pimp a lot of walls, doors and even teachers in the different design and graphic academies in the Netherlands. Hopefully they’ll understand that we will confront them with the future of advertisment.
