Bobby Voicu leaving Yahoo Romania

I had a short phone conversation today with Bobby Voicu and I was surprised to find out he was leaving Yahoo (beginning with 2008, Bobby was Community Manager at Yahoo Romania).

Yahoo.ro was scheduled to launch last November in Romania but financial crisis and internal problems seem to have delayed the project and its future is quite uncertain right now.

Mediacafe will remain the agency to represent Yahoo in Romania but they had to make a compromise this year and quit their publishing activities in order to avoid possible conflicts.

Bobby Voicu will probably focus on personal projects and entrepreneurial initiatives. A few months ago he sold monden.info to Orlando Nicoara and made history as the first blog to be sold in Romania.

Good luck Bobby with your new challenge!

Solution for the financial crisis: changing the bills :)

Optimistic design can encourage spending. Here is a fun idea presented by 5 Romanian designers (via StiuPeCineva).

James Blunt @ Intact Interactive

You probably already know that James Blunt prepares a real treat for its Bucharest audience (four trucks packed with technical equipment, two busses, one for the production team and one for Blunt and his band).

The concert is this Saturday (21st of February) beginning with  20:00 at Sala Polivalenta in Bucharest and the bad news is that all the tickets are almost sold out – the good news is that INTACT Interactive is the online interactivity provider for the event and we can bring some of our friends to the concert. :)

If you want to see James Blunt live in Bucharest this weekend, you know how to find us :)

IAA Excellence Awards 2009

Tonight, starting with 20:00, the International Advertising Association (IAA Romania) will host its anual Excellence Awards at Fratelli Studios.

It’s the only party during the year where you can meet all the Romanian marcomm industry under the same roof… so if you’re doing media business in Romania, this is the place to be tonight (I gave up my Vonda Shepard tickets for this event :) ).
