  • Comtravo: A discussion about serverless setups - with Marko Schilde, CTO and Founder at Comtravo | PAP066

    Serverless setups are not really new but the market and their usage is strongly increasing. Yet sometimes people are still unsure if they should start with that technology or not.

    Our portfolio company Comtravo is using serverless setups quite some time now and thus gained some insightful experience with this.

    In discussion with Comtravo's CTO Marko Schilde, we speak about the advantages and disadvantages of this technology and architecture, how you develop with it, whether a Vendor Lock-in is really a problem and why monitoring is one of the hardest parts in this.

    Guest: Marko Schilde, CTO and Founder at Comtravo

  • Wie man eine Brand lean aufbaut und misst - mit Anne Geuther und Bob Hardt von Project A | PAP064

    Es gibt da diese Vorurteile gegenüber Branding: es dauert, ist kompliziert und teuer. Deswegen fangen gerade Startups mit dem Aufbau ihrer Brand oft viel zu spät an, zumal andere Dinge wichtiger erscheinen und deren Erfolg auch leichter zu messen ist. Doch das ist ein weiteres Vorurteil: Branding lässt sich nicht messen.

    Anne Geuther und Bob Hardt haben bei Project A einen Ansatz entwickelt, mit dem sich eine Brand analytisch und lean aufbauen lässt: vergleichsweise schnell, unkompliziert und günstig. Es ist der "Project A Baseline Branding Approach", und er besteht aus drei Elementen: Definition und Strategie, die Entwicklung der Assets und deren Operationalisierung. In dieser Episode erklären Anne und Bob ihren Ansatz, sie räumen mit den Vorurteilen auf und teilen pragmatische Tipps, wie man Branding individuell, aber gleichzeitig strategisch und effizient angehen kann.

    Gäste: Anne Geuther, Senior Venture Development Manager bei Project und Bob Hardt, Senior Communications Manager bei Project A

  • Linkedin: Challenging the Blue Giant - with Gianluca Lupo at Social Ads Meetup @Project A | PAP062

    610 million professionals, 30 million company pages and more than 50% feed engagement. Is the social network for professionals ready to challenge the Blue Giant in the advertising field? Linkedin Ads is a powerful platform, full of opportunities but also challenges and obstacles - like pricing, targeting options and creatives. Finding the right account and campaign setup is the key to success.

    The roadmap of the advertisement platform development looks very similar to Facebooks' of a few years ago. Indeed, 2019 was the year were Linkedin rolled out interest targeting, lookalikes and conversion based campaign optimisation; arrows which Facebook has had in its quiver for years. Did Linkedin efforts manage to cover the ground separating its technologies from Facebook ones?

    Listen to Gianluca Lupo, Display Marketing Manager, Project A @Social Ads Meetup from 01.08.2019 discussing the possibilities, best practices and developments of the Linkedin Ads platform during the Social Ads Meetup at Project A Ventures. We try to highlight the strength and weakness points of the social network for professionals, giving at the same time a 360 degrees overview of its possibilities. Enjoy!

  • The current state of Voice Search: what businesses should know- with Florian Hübner, Founder and Co-CEO of Uberall | PAP061
    After analyzing more than 73,000 SMB, mid-market and enterprise business locations in one of the largest voice search studies ever conducted, Uberall has released the findings of its pioneering 2019 Voice Search Readiness Report. After defining voice search readiness, they found that only 4% of business locations have no errors or missing information across Google, Yelp and Bing - the most important directories for feeding voice search platforms - and that the vast majority of businesses are severely underperforming in voice search readiness.

    Listen to Florian Hübner from Uberall and Krzysztof Szymanski from Project A, discussing the current state of the voice technology, and the possibilities for businesses to stand out in the voice search game. We answer the question - what does it mean to be voice-searched optimized and why now it's the time to jump on this wave. Enjoy!
