Webinar: About Tweeting Fridges, Trust Barometers and Truly Engaging Campaigns
What you can expect from the webinar?
Social Media has changed our lives. We trust ratings and postings on products and services from people that we don't even know. We base important decisions onother peoples´opinions.
We don't want to be bored by the same standard marketing messages over and over again - we want to be entertained & appreciated as a customer. We want advertising and brand engagement that is so good that we would even pay for it.
In this webinar we´ll explore the opportunities of future social media excellence.

Across the Globe: A virtual visit from Thomas Rosenkranz from TEF Sao Paulo, Brasil
Four big Telco companies, mostly prepaid customers and only 14% of Brazil’s population own a smartphone. This is how the telecom industry looks like in Brazil.
Since beginning of 2013 Thomas Rosenkranz has been responsible for setting-up of a new department called “Vivo Advertising” at Telefónica/Vivo in São Paulo. In his talk
he´ll share with us the challenges faced when it comes to marketing their services to customers and clients.
Vivo Advertising helps companies to promote their products and services and deliver their marketing message directly, targeted to the Vivo customer base using for example text message, mobile internet or sponsored calls.
As Thomas and his team are responsible for the end-to end process (from the idea, to the design to the execution to the final evaluation) of these campaigns, they need to work in a very precise, lean and focused way. Thomas will share with us how they work together and how they add value to the company´s success.
About the speaker:
Thomas Rosenkranz is Head of Campaign Delivery at Vivo Advertising Brasil and leads a team of 6 people. Before joining Telefónica in Brazil in June 2013 he worked as Head of Partner Solutions for the German advertising unit ‘Media Services’ in Munich. He attained his BA in ‘International Business’ in Cambridge (UK) and has a broad background in Mobile Marketing through his international working experience in mobile marketing agencies (e.g. MindMatics) and brands like BMW/MINI. He joined Telefónica in 2006 to set up the „Media Services“department.
Date: February 20th, 3.30 p.m. or CET, 2.30 p.m. GMT
