At 2nd COTRUGLI Business BreakFast about Internationalisation of the brand despite of low budgets


During a tasty Cotrugli business BreakFast, the keynote guest speaker Vasja Veber, Msc., focused on e-promotion, e-marketing and innovative social network contents and challenged the e-promo knowledge of the selected participants – MBA alumni and members of Technology park Ljubljana.


In an interactive breakfast presentation Vasja focused on intense web promotion, e-marketing and modern internationalization of the brand despite dealing with low budgets. He presented his best practices on the case of promoting DJ Umek worldwide trough latest social and other e-network trends. During discussion, the participants came to some interesting conclusions:

- Social networks: only creating a profile on a social network challenge is not enough.


- Viral promotion: do not try to make ˝virus promo campaigns˝ as direct adverts. Hidden promo content and inovativeness is the key!


- E-promo campaigning: for a company to be effective in the e-promotion, one must have a person (or an expert) for social network contents, e-promotion tools & channels. Amateur profiles and simple advertising was yesterday. Tomorrow is creativity.


- Local markets: local markets can have different usage of specific social networks. Watch the statistic or hire an agency for support. Don't go blind-guessing.


- Go international! Yes, but be aware of the global trend and global attractiveness of your product and campaign! Research!
