Meeting up with IAB Argentina CEO Charlie Shaw was really interesting. Charlie and the IAB Argentina is doing a lot not only for their own members, but also to educate the market – going from broad seminars to now company training and its for free! I’m a fan!
The meeting with Google Argentina was just as interesting – I like the fact that they call South America their fast growing market (even if South America isnt really one market, rigth) and that Google Argentina is doing a lot, too, to educate (and grow) the market. And as always the Google office is impressive – sorry, but a no photo policy by them.. so only a small one.. 😉 Oh yes, and thanx for the hurge delicious steak!!
Arrived in Buenos Aires Monday (19th) and it has been some busy and interesting days since.
My friends and hosts at Opterian has been helping me a lot, so we can get Intent Agency Argentina up an running within the next months.
Palermo Valley networking event Tuesday was the day of PVN 27 – a networking event arranged by Palermo Valley
PVN27 was really amazing with lots of entrepreneurs with all from small to big projects, some live, some in closed beta, a couple of venture guys/guys + me… – Buenos Aires definately is moving!
Got some good contacts and some leads into potential Intent Agency Argentina employees.
Wednesday was another busy day meeting both potential partner companies/subproviders and an interview with a potential Country Manager of Intent Agency Argentina.
Good news from Colombia. Intent Agency managed together with Young Marketing to get the spot as first HootSuite Pro Partner in Colombia – A big Gratz from Denmark!
Also the newspapers did cover a very successful Startup Weekend Bogota 2012. Great job by the Staff that made it happen!!! Hope Intent Agency can help being a sponsor next year, too.
