8 things you don't know about me

Marc Bresseel — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:14:06 +0000

I’ve been tagged by James Cherkoff to post about 8 things you might not know about me. Thanks for the invite James. It made me think…
1.       I grow my own tomatoes and courgettes – which are by far the most easy things to grow, I know - but give me time and I can show I have real green hands
2.       I almost ended up as a professional musician flute player – life would have been different. After university I actually used to play in an Irish folk band . My PR people told me to take that off my Bio because not cool and hip. What the heck do they know about modern Irish folk?
3.       When I was young I spent most of my free time & summers on a farm next doors. I love riding tractors – or was that just a kids’ thing ? If we would have more than one life I’d be a farmer in my second one.
4.       I have been in the military service as a Lieutenant. It was a great waste of time but at least I have some nice memories and learned something I use every day: sometimes it is better to just shut up and swallow the shit. And: no you don’t have to have an opinion every single minute of the day.
5.       I do love cooking. And I do clean the kitchen afterwards. A B&B in my third life ?
6.       I hate making choices. I just want A regular coffee at Starbucks, A pair of running shoes, A camera that shoots pictures – why do we need to make 30 different choices for everything we do in life?
7.       I try to break the rules & conventions in discrete ways. So let’s stick to 7 random things instead of 8.

Now I’d really like to know more about you guys -and forgive me when you’ve done this a couple of times before- Kris Hoet because even if we’re colleagues and I know about some of his more private side he always has that mysterious side of him, danah boyd, Valeria Maltoni, Charlene Li, Jackie Huba because you’re the ladies I do enjoy reading on a regular basis, David Armano, Jaffe Juice, Alain Thys, well exactly for the same reason – but not ladies obviously

Visions for Video London

Marc Bresseel — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 09:09:38 +0000

Last Tuesday we held our ‘Visions for Video ‘ event in London, sharing with 24 European media, 8 analysts and bloggers James Cherkoff and Neville Hobson our online video strategy for our MSN video platform , breaking news about our new content partnerships deals with MTV and Sony BMG.

In the online media consumption world, Content is the new social currency. Social status relies greatly on how good we are at Storytelling. But also how good is not always enough. The online world also offers the ‘how long’ and the ‘how far’. Timeless multiple viewing opportunities of the best programs is the experience we’re now delivering to our 6 million monthly users across Europe. MTV shows and backstage footage of Sony BMG artists along with news, entertainment videos and user generated content. All in “snack bite” pieces. Engaging content – both informative & entertaining- on a social portal. More control for the user’s viewing and sharing experience. More innovative ad solutions for brands.

Thought it would be interesting to guide you to some of the press coverage
