Net Find: Erotic Meets E-Sport Posted on 8. December 201421. January 2022 | by Christian Otto Grötsch Warning: Undefined array key 0 in /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/dotsource/functions.php on line 1060 It is not only companies, such as Alternate, Razer or Samsung who now sponsor successful eSport teams.

A Big Thank You for a Wonderful First Jana E-Commerce Breakfast Posted on 2. December 2014 | by Christian Otto Grötsch Thuringia (and especially Jena) doesn’t have to hide! That much was clear after the last Handelskraft e-commerce breakfast for 2014. Together with 15 local traders and manufacturers, we discussed the future of e-commerce with Jochen Krisch. We talked about more than just Amazon or even e-commerce in general. After all, the challenges are growing well beyond the framework of e-commerce. All businesses have to address the topic of digitalen Transformation and the discussion has long included areas such as online marketing or data management. The cross-overs are increasing on the technical and strategic levels and the direction this journey could take is demonstrated by branch trail blazers, such as “About You.” no images were found Continue (No Ratings Yet) Loading...

Forrester sees Twitter and Facebook as a waste of money for brands Posted on 1. December 201421. January 2022 | by Christian Otto Grötsch Graphic: Karl-Ludwig Poggemann Social networks support customer loyalty – at least that was the general opinion to date. That fact that only a small number of followers see a post in their newsfeed at all may have occurred to a few social media managers, but no one drew any overarching conclusions from it.
