I have been nominated for a shorty award in 2 categories: #socialmedia and #engelvoelkers. I would really appreciated it if you would vote for me in the #engelvoelkers category.

Why should you vote for me? I will tell you!

Besides being the licence partner at Engel & Völkers Sint-Martens-Latem, I am also a full-time student at the College of Ghent (HoGent), and all of the little spare time that I have, goes into my companies.

Due to the fact that Engel & Völkers was not very know in Belgium 3 years ago, I had to do something about that. So I decided to get more brand awareness through contacting the youth first, and what is the youth doing these days? There on social media! So I decided to put the brand on every social media that I could think of.

Since a little over 2 years I have put us on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube (MySpace, Netlog). I also started the Engel & Völkers Sint-Martens-Latem Blog, created a wikipedia-page, and continue to post as much new info on social websites via our blog. This all to keep a constant stream of info about the brand and the network in the hope to raise the brand awareness.

By my feeling, and what the people around me are telling me, my efforts are not going unnoticed and have raised the brand’s presence and awareness a lot in Belgium, Europe and further.

I hope this little text has convinced you to vote for me, and when you vote for me don’t forget to put something after the “because …”. Otherwise the vote does not count.

Sincerely,

After deciding in August that I would keep my first website (iWeb) alive. I have not been able to update it untill now. (But I haven’t been sitting still in the past 3 months.)

Now that I finally came around to updating my iWeb website, I found that a little tweak was needed. At first I tried to make it somewhat similar to my main website. So that there is a red line / guideline through my personal websites. But after realizing that iWeb isn’t dreamweaver, I decided to keep my previous design, a clean and simple design. What you see above is the result of that.

To make the Engel & Völkers Sint-Martens-Latem blog, being http://www.evlatem.be/blog, more CI. I never stopped the development of the blog. So now about a month in, a more CI version has been launched. I  have put more attention into the details for example: the width, the red line, …

And as the slogan/title says the blog is still about Engel & Völkers Sint-Martens-Latem, as well as the brand’s (Engel & Völkers) regional, national and international expansion/presence/openings/events. As well as the marketing that  Engel & Völkers Sint-Martens-Latem has done in the area.

To further expand the website of Engel & Völkers Sint-Martens-Latem being http://www.evlatem.be. We realized that there was still one thing missing from the website.

We already covered the following:

• Property search
• Services
• About us
• Contact
• Links
• Mobile site
• …

But as mentioned above we still had not covered one thing, yet.
So what we had not covered yet was a blog. So I started working on a blog layout.

So what will the blog be about, you might ask.

It will be about Engel & Völkers Sint-Martens-Latem, offcourse, as well as the brand’s (Engel & Völkers) regional, national and international expansion/presence. As well as the marketing that  Engel & Völkers Sint-Martens-Latem has done in the area. And the blog will also be giving pointers/tips to sellers or buyers about what to look for or improve when buying or selling a property.
