let’s put the co&vid in covid

lifelong learning with an open mind is something we can only encourage. no reason we like sharing online classes on this platform. the ones we will share in this post, are perfect to gain some insight on a professional level. stay tuned.

dealing with uncertainty can be really hard. many businesses are just trying to survive. what we love seeing are the many creative ‘solutions’ that come out of this crisis. from small to large businesses, from product to service. we’re all initiating projects adapted to the current lifestyle and safety measures. it’s really all about being creative! but that doesn’t mean it is easy… .

dift is a creative agency, based in ghent. they are offering a series of online sessions “let’s put the co & vid in covid”, where freelancers and entrepreneurs talk about their experiences or share tips with us, to help stimulate that creative thinking. all business related and adapted to times of crisis! yes, please.

next-up:

• tuesday 28/04 10.00: bert pieters (founder of dift, archie goegebuur, sportsdc en don), will talk about ‘corona discounts’ and customer binding.

• thursday 30/04 11.30: fie maes (account manager for echo, an intern communication agency), will talk about ambassador networks and being creative with intern communications.

• tuesday 5/05 11.00: jasmijn verlinden (freelancer, helps with building belgian (fashion) brands), will talk about how a crisis is the time to build strong brand values.

how can you participate? firstly, the classes are free, yay! secondly, you just have to subscribe to the session of your choice by filling in your email. they’ll send you a reminder with a zoom link, et voilà! they use zoom, so you can follow live and ask questions to the speakers.

they already had a few interesting interviews, you can check their spotify for the podcast versions. this could also be a good alternative if the live zoom interview doesn’t fit into your schedule.
