AI – Dawn or Fall of Advertising Agencies?

My CV isn´t an “optimized standard one pager”, neither am I.
Lately, I run over a conversation on the web about what a “perfect CV” in 2022 should look like. And templates were offered and advice was given in regard to “Keywords” and a lot of other stuff. Everything was like getting “behind” that AI wall that filters incoming CVs. I´m pretty sure HR people have busy times at the moment. They have a lot of time to invest to search for the best match for an open position, BUT letting a machine filter out applications that don´t “match” certain requirements? That´s too easy. Not too easy but in my point of view a mistake…especially in 2022 and beyond. We live…

Good advertising campaigns never get old.
Days ago the camera brand Leica announced the return of the Leica M6 to the production line, which was a huge news and celebration day for photographers all over the world. For those that are not familiar with the M6, it´s a film camera. A new film camera in the age of megapixels and mega-zooms. What news! The return of the Leica M6 marks something that most photo enthusiasts always dreamed of but do not really like to speak out loud, but there she is in all her beauty. I´ve been part of this “analog Rennessince” since I bought myself my first analog camera 2 years ago, and I can…

Metaverse – I have questions…
I saw these days when Mark Zuckerberg had his presentation of the Meta Quest Pro and again the Metaverse topic popped up again in all tech news blogs and sites. I have to say that this show was ….. well, interesting. It showed me once more that something is not right about this Metaverse thing. And as some Experts may be fascinated and hyped by this…I have my doubts. So let me explain what are my points and why I´m not hyped at all with this “bright future” of VR pushed by Meta. But let me share my points. The Device Ok, let´s have a look at the device that…

Why I blog and why should you do it too!
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I blog or should I say: I host my own blog? I don´t know. I started blogging more or less 20 years ago (during my time at the University of Applied Science). I started very small at blogger.com because I had no clue about CMS, it was free and it was kind of fancy to have a blog. I joined several blog communities to make people read what I had to say. I shared my ideas and my content with the world because in my point of view it was cool to do that. I actually can´t remember how many blogs I had in total, but in…

When your desktop at home is cooler than in the office, your employer has a problem.
Since Covid-19 and the first lockdown, we have to face the fact that the office world is turned upside down. What was mostly unthinkable to have a whole agency working completely remote became a reality. No matter if you have a large apartment or a single-bedroom apartment…you had no choice then take what you have and start working. So from one day to the other kitchen tables, living room tables or the floor became working spaces. Some are ok, some are more like that medicals would shake their heads in disbelief. I´m one of those fortunate ones that have their own office back home (which is more than most of…

AI as content creator?… f*** it.
More and more AI gets into parts of the business life. Always good? I don´t know.

Things in Office365 that ease the daily office life – Part I Outlook
Before we start: No, this blog post is NOT sponsored by Microsoft! In fact, I never got any sponsoring offers so far….(ok, not entirely true, I actually got some 1 or 2…but those were more of the category “you better don´t do this”). Introduction When you hear the word “Microsoft Office” I guess most people in business relate this to: Some may have already heard about Power BI…but I guess most of you don´t know what it does and what YOU can do with it. At the end of this article, there´s a survey because I´m pretty interested in what you are familiar with when it comes to Microsoft Office…
