Long time no witting, I know it seems weird. In the past months I had some tough experiences, one of which connected to a newly found job at an advertising agency called G.I.D. Consult. It should be among the first companies of that kind in Varna. Unfortunately, the working conditions were worse than I expected - again like in Slovakia, bad and arrogant behaviour from my boss, totally stressful emotional environment. I accepted this job because I needed some money but the main outcome I would like to share is - never do this! Money is not all in our lifes so be careful when selecting your work place. The health is absolutely more important!
Meanwhile, I started a new professional blog focused on the 22 immutable branding laws as presented by the all time classic book written by Al and Laura Reis. I describe the Bulgarian business reality viewed from the branding perspective. I may say it's kinda successful as some of the posts rank very well on Google search pages - among the top 10 list! :) It's in Bulgarian language but those of you who speak or understand it will find the articles useful, I'm pretty sure. Branding is all around us no matter if we feel it or not ;)))
These days, I dedicate some time to teaching foreigners my mother tongue. It's susch a great experience that give me plenty of emotional and long-term rewards. Nevertheless, it helps forigners get in touch with the Bulgarian culture. I got to know 2 nice Russian girls via the social network Vkontakte.ru and now I'm reviving my Russian speaking skills which is amazing! And they are so nice, friendly and always careful! :) That's one of the reasns I feel the Russian people very close to my heart - as brothers! The Central, Eastern and South Slavs rule ;))) Poland is my all time specialty but Russia is moving up front :)))
I don't stop reading books on marketing and branding. Currently, I'm on the "Love Marks" written by the advertising creative guru Kevin Roberts. Also, I try to catch up on the ClickZ Online Marketing articles I receive as newsletters in my mailbox every working day. Now I still have around 140 unread but my plan is in the up-coming 15 days to reduce this number to 0 :)))
Well, regarding personal life, I still look for that special blues-rock-hearted lady that will make my days! It doesn't have to be located in Varna or even Bulgaria as for the love there are no boundaries, you know. "If you need some lovin', honey, you must have the blues", as Fleetwood Mac perfectly have written in their classic song "Rattlesnake Shake", performed genuinely by my favourite band Aerosmith. These days I started again listening to all of their albums one by one and bought some new CDs. My goal is to complete the CD collection and move to it from the cassettes. The digital sound is far better :)
That's all for now, dear friends!
See ya in the next post and of any questions arise, feel free to ask in the comments box.
Cheers!
