After not being that active on my blog, I am very pleased to announce that I am graduated!
A few weeks ago I flew back to Amsterdam to presentate my dissertation. I went very well, better than my supervisor actually expected. Very quickly after being back in Barcelona I heard that I was graduated with an 8 for my graduating project about online marketing. The project was more focused on the technical aspect of online marketing (onsite SEO) but good enough for a Marketing study. One of the golden keys on universities nowadays to success is to use some old fashioned marketing models like the AIDA model, the Hierarchy of needs and some Porter stuff. Some of them are still useful though! (more…)
As some of you might know, I will stay in Barcelona for the upcoming 5 months. And no.. not for holidays, although I would like to explore everything in this city and in this pleasant climate I will also often be found on the many busy beaches around here.
I just arrived an my first impressions are good. The city is beautiful, just really beautiful. It even makes me happy to get lost in the narrow streets of the Barri Gothic area in Barcelona (part of the old town), and discovering new squares and shops. Only one thing is missing in my perfect life, an apartment to live in. Living in a hotel is not as comfortable as you might think ;). The time between finding an apartment, and signing a rental contract, is long. Welcome to Spain! (more…)
