Social Media meetup in Wellington

On April 4th, i finally organized my first social media meetup event in Wellington (New Zealand). What a relief to know that despite the rain, every single person showed up. Not always easy to start everything from scratch when being so far away but as i like saying:” Distance is only in the head” Right? Things that we sometimes imagine impossible are truly possible!!!:D

The event was friendly and informative. See it for yourself with a few feedback i received on it.

“It was very helpful to talk with someone who’s work primarily involves social media. Linda was well prepared and it went well.”

“I learned many things and it was easy to talk and ask questions. Linda was really available, professional and friendly.”

“Added a few more skills and knowledge to my medai kitbag! A wide range of understanding in group … from nil to high.”

“A great meetup!! Really informative”

As promise, for those who weren’t there, here is a slide share about what we discussed during the event. Enjoy and see you next month ;-)

BIG THANK YOU to The Southern Cross Bar/Restaurant.

Sport and Social Media event in Wellington

To get to know a little bit more the Kiwis and specifically how they approach Social Media, i decided to go and attend to Sport and Social Media event presented by Clare Wolfensohn and had to regret at all.

Clare Wolfensohn did a very great job with her presentation choosing Rugby, the national sport in New Zealand, as her main example to represent the impact Social Media can actually have on Sport. Indeed, i was very pleased to learn a lot but also observed different strategies she used and applied for her projects. It’s always good to see people’s creativity and inspiration to get the job done as far as it concerns social media :0

I was also glad to have been able to meet Clare in person. It’s always good to know more people from the Social Media industry and especially when we are “new” in town and who knows…I might see her again. Sometimes, we do live in a small world ;-)

Thanks again Tom for this nice opportunity.

Social Media Club in Wellington

When we are so far and isolated as i am today, it is sometimes funny and easy to think that nothing is happening in small cities. However, Wellington and the Kiwis certainly proved me wrong the other day.

I have been really surprised to discover the existence of a Social Media Club here in New Zealand and next thing you know, i was attending to my first social media event. How is that? :)

Thank you Tom for letting me know about it and looking forward to attending to the next one soon ;-)
