We Wish You a Simple Christmas!

Ecard2
This is the last post before Christmas and we wanted to wish all of you a Simple Christmas and a New Year filled with Joy, Happines, Love and Prosperity.

2011 has been a great experience and we've learned a lot of things. We've increased our audience, formed new collaborations, changed the way we communicate, never stopped posting to our blog and generally had a very nice journey.

We are really looking forward to 2012 and we hope you will be with us for the new journey.

HAVE A SIMPLE CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!! Ho-ho-ho

P.S. We will be following the UK bank holidays so we won't be posting on Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th

The time has come. This weekend, I (Harry) will be joining the fantastic team at STARTup Live Athens #1 for their first event in Greece.

With 29 ideas already subitted, the event will surely be buzzing with people and innovations. As part of the mentor team, I will be available to listen, give feedback, offer advice & an expert opinion, criticise and help the teams simplify!

Looking forward to meeting all the teams at the event!

minimoko - Our Manifesto

Brand?

In the age of plenty, standing out is more important than ever! Building a brand is your only way to get there. It’s the only way to be associated with something in people’s minds. To get there you need to be focused and unique. 

Keep it simple and never try to please everyone. You won’t! Do something that you love and inspires you. Tell the story of why you are doing it and people will follow. Everyone loves a good story. Just showing up won’t get you any fans. Standing out for something unique and going the extra mile will. Find a word that represents you. A single word. When people think of you, they need to think of that word. If they don’t, you will have failed. Try again! Don’t make your brand bland, give it a personality. Be a leader. If you are starting in a crowded market, then make your own market and lead that. Pick a strong name. It’s not just a name. It will make or break your brand. Carve out your niche or die. No-one follows a generalist. They want you to be a specialist. Find an enemy. Stand against someone or something. Some people will hate you for it but the rest will love you. Don’t focus on what everyone else is doing. We want to see what you will do differently.

Love it or hate it, branding is the only way. Without it you’re doomed.
