I have had the first meeting with our Advertising Agency. During the meeting I have learned that you must have a marketing plan and a brand strategy. If you don’t have them, you don’t know exactly which are the benefits of your product or brand and who is your target. It is important because, even if it’s on your mind, you must have guidelines and principles which drive you and make you more productive, and, in case of doubt, you can consult them and make a better decision.

Also, I have learned that you cannot exclude potential consumers by insinuating that your product is not for them. It is better to not limit your target and to promote the benefits of your product that may impact potential consumers.

In November 2009, TICTarragona (which I am a member) held a conference about mobile Internet. We had a great time those days and, during the breaktimes, we spoke about different things of our lifes. It was the first time we spent so much time together. There, different ideas came up, and one of them appeared in David Serra’s mind. His father was a successful advertiser, and his former clients told him that advertisement hadn’t ever been the same since he retired.

Thanks to new period of Social Media, David thought that he would love to use those clients to reinvent advertisement in Tarragona, and to make them succeed with online marketing strategies. We didn’t talk about it during the next two months due to Christmas and New Year’s Eve. But, in January 2010, we decided that the moment to start this new venture had arrived. We organized different meetings in order to define what we would do. One thing was sure, the team was made up by Juanjo Ferrer, David Serra, Jaime Polo and our advisor Jordi Planas.

This team has the power of creativity, the power to bring new ideas to Social Media because David Serra is a movie scriptwriter and Juanjo Ferrer is a movie director. They put brilliant ideas for our clients.

The most important thing I learned during this first project is that if you don’t push hard to make ideas become true, it is impossible to achieve your goals. You have to set deadlines and work hard. Fortunately we succeeded.
