What Have I Been Up To Lately?

My newsletter subscribers already got this message, but since the bulk of my readers are RSS subscribers, I thought I'd post it here as well:

I've been wanting to move into email marketing consultancy for quite some time now, so when Jeanniey Mullen asked me if I wanted to join OgilvyOne Worldwide it didn't take me long to say yes!

I started working for OgilvyOne in Brussels about 3 weeks ago and I'm loving every minute of it! Moving from the corporate side to the agency side of things is much like moving to a foreign country. The mentality is different, the way people think is different and yes, sometimes it's like they speak a foreign language as well :)

The job is also totally different from what I have been doing in the past. Instead of actually being in charge of an email marketing program, I am now consulting with large corporate clients to help them develop an email marketing plan and/or increase the ROI of their email program.

As I expected though, I haven't had much time to update my blog in the last couple of weeks with "real" blog posts. I'm trying to make up for it by adding the "links for [date]" type of posts via my del.icio.us account, but I know that's not what you expect from me. Bear with me, it's only temporary.

Dag Carine, dank je wel :) Ik ben in elk geval vast van plan om te blijven bloggen. De tijd zal wel uitwijzen of dat effectief zal lukken of niet. Maar ik ben er vrij gerust in...

Proficiat met de carriere move, doch 'Bear with me, it's only temporary.' geloof ik niet echt. Als consultant had ik altijd de indruk dat 2 bedrijven continue meer wilden (klant en consultancy firma)

Why don't you come join us? We're hiring! ;-)

Congrats on the move! With you and Jeanniey now working for the same company, that's an awful lot of email-centric brain power concentrated in one place! I'm jealous.
