Voor sommigen leken sociale media dé oplossing voor de manier waarop bedrijven hun waar aan de man kunnen brengen. Je verkoopt iets aan één persoon, en die persoon vertelt zijn goede ervaringen door in zijn of haar sociale netwerk. Zo zou je met relatief weinig inspanning veel mensen kunnen beïnvloeden. Niet dus. Vriendennetwerken op facebook zijn nauwelijks geïnteresseerd elkaars smaak.…

Een wiel kan niet vaak genoeg worden uitgevonden. Ooit komt er immers iets echt nieuws tevoorschijn. In marketingland is dit zo ongeveer de grondwet. Daarom is het zo ontroerend om te zien hoe aan de universiteit Groningen een jonge onderzoeker een wiel heeft gepresenteerd over kunstmarketing dat, geheel naar verwachting, een stuk ronder is dan de toch al kogelronde wielen die er op dat gebied zijn uitgevonden. We hebben op deze termijn het hele onderzoek niet gelezen, en moeten ons beperken tot...

There will definitely be no investigation into a corporatisation of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven. According to the proposal, a council majority wants to have the opportunities to earn more money and save on expenses investigated. A political party earlier suggested that many more visitors and revenue could be brought in with a less elitist programme. At the Money Museum in Utrecht

That frightens us quite a bit ourselves. We knew that the Cultural Press Agency was doing quite well, but we didn't really think a reach of more than 100,000 people was possible.

The cut-away Metropole Orchestra is getting some air from the minister. She is willing to use the necessary friction costs to support the transition over the next four years from the Media Budget, provided it stays there. That is, the orchestra may use its own severance payments to be independently 'on the market' from 2017. As much as it shows...
