My name is Māris Antons and digital media is what I do for living. I am fascinated by the world of digital & social media and the endless posibilities they offer both to marketers and users.
My work is my hobby and my hobby is my work. Therefore, I love to read and constantly improve my knowledge. Sometimes I form my opinion. From time to time I even want to share it. And this is exactly the place for that.
Keep in mind – your opinion matters too, so if you have something to say – leave a comment or drop me an e-mail at maris@marisantons.com!
From time to time there comes a rising star, which quickly gets picked up by social media enthusiasts, news sites, advertisers and soon after there already are some creative „pilot” campaigns. While these campaigns create buzz around them and are great examples of creativity and benefits to being a pioneer, others quietly come to conclusion that this actually might be the next big thing (which might grow into mainstream thing). This is the dangerous part- while these first pioneers have gained momentum, their more subtle followers might end up empty-handed when the hours of work will be for nothing and the next new big thing will drown in limbo.
If you have a popular website, it’s quite reasonable to believe that you are already represented on this hot thing called “Pinterest”. And that’s good- it’s free traffic!
First things first: users there love fresh, good and relevant content. Easy- the same rules as on other social networks.
