Hello. I am Polle de Maagt.
I failed in most things during my
life (including being a rock star) but am
still trying to reach #worlddomination.
This time by helping companies change
to be more about acts and
conversations, less about ads.
Guess that makes me a change agent.

One of the last things I did last year at Boondoggle Agency: surprising KLM passengers. With the KLM Surprise campaign, we surprised customers based on their
Foursquare and Twitter checkins. Talking about remarkable customer service …

This year, it’s all about making companies more about acts and less about ads. I now work at InSites Consulting, a pretty remarkable marketing research and
consulting agency that is all about making companies more consumer connected.

Nothing changed and everything changed. So, yes, there’s much blabla about digital natives, new hip technologies, social
media. But people largely remained the same. Or did they?

“ “ There are actually few organizations that
can support passionate employees - even if they say they want them. That’s because the original industrial revolution was designed to support productivity.

I love this one, just because it’s so true.

1) Act human. We use technology to help our
consumers better. But does it really
work or does it backfire?
Zappos does an amazing job in making
technology invisible and really
understanding consumers.
(Thanks Steven Verbruggen for the tip!)

2) Commit acts not ads: surprising KLM passengers. With the KLM Surprise campaign, KLM surprised customers based on their
Foursquare and Twitter checkins. Talking about remarkable customer service and

3) Use your unused potential: Antwerp Zoo’s cute little animals and tech-savvy employees. It brought them 300.000 extra visitors, a nomination for product of the year and the
best thing … the number one carnival suit of that year.

Expectation
Over-delivery Makes positive conversations
Over-the-top-delivery Makes negative conversations
Under-delivery Makes negative conversations
Delivery Gives no reason to talk
6) Be maniacal about managing expectations. Under-promise, over-deliver in everything you do. Not only towards customers but
also to your colleagues.

It stimulates us to use our unused potential. Most companies already do great stuff.
The real heroes of the company aren’t the marketing guys. Or the sales guys.
Marketing is waaaaay to important to leave it up to marketing people.

Use the power of your network: invite them to help. From time to time, I ask my friends “What Makes You Horny?”. It’s an excuse to invite
existing friends and make new ones.
