Bet you missed me.– ;-)

January – and the best part of February for that matter – was one hell of a month.

It started out of course with the Global Kickoff in Rome where we had to kit the hotel out, prepare all promotional material including stands, showcases, no fewer than 5 videos, too many press releases to count and a make sure everyone’s presentation was squeaky clean.

Then immediately afterwards, we had to start working on the 7 new smartphones due to be presented at MWC in Barcelona. Seven? I thought there were only four new ones… That’s right – three got canned but only after I’d written the web texts. Grrrr…

Just in case you missed them, head off over to the new site now… and no prizes for guessing what that opening banner is announcing…

Of course it’s not over and if you’ve been following my Facebook page, you’ll have seen what is for me the most important announcement of the past 4 years and no I’m not talking about the Olympic Sponsorship. Acer has its first 100% social media page on Facebook!

OK, you can’t add your own posts but you can start discussions (for now). Don’t underestimate this: this is ground breaking stuff and in addition to complimenting those who managed to get this thing approved and published (you know who you are) I urge you to become a fan if you’re not already as we’ll be doing a case study on “how it went” once the Vancouver Games are over.

There are some 7000 employees working in and around Acer Group so as long as the number of fans sits below that number, it can’t be considered a success really can it. I mean, it’s all too easy to hit “Send to all” with a Fan Link and ask everyone inside Acer to fan it, so we’re I’m interested to see if they can take that number any higher.

If it does, this could quite easily be considered a test bed for something much, much bigger picture and as in all probability I’ll be involved, I – and you my Acer friends – have a vested interest in supporting it.
