We get what we promote

In a world where consumers have so much power, we now have two responsibilities:

  • If you don’t like what an organization stands for, work actively to spread the word and force them to change.
  • If you will miss a product, a service, a book, a site or a professional when they close up shop, stand up, speak up and bring them masses of new business.

We get what we promote.

Interview about adegga.com @ shift08


Viktoria and her lovely German accent interviewed me at SHiFT while enjoying a nice bottle of Cortes de Cima wine:

André Ribeirinho is all about wine and he wants to share his passion with other people by providing an answer on the always returning question which wine to choose. You want to know how it works and how it integrates your offline-shopping experience, have a look on the demonstration which André provides in the video by bringing QR Codes on wine bottles! For more infos go also to www.adegga.com. André is also co-founder of the shift conference and put in a lot of energy in realizing this event.

Viktoria also interviewed other Portuguese startups:

Interview with Sergio Veiga about 9idiots and stream19.com
