To celebrate the opening of the renewed Vomar Supermarket the Haarlem based Jopen brewery created a special limited edition beer: Jopen Stephenson Beer. The Jopen Stephenson Beer is a blond beer with a refreshing taste and fruity hints from oranges. The beer resembles white beer a bit, contains wheat and oats and has a mild ‘hoppy’ (IPA, India Pale Ale) aftertaste. A wonderfull initiative where a supermarket creates a piece of local pride with a tasty beer, in my opinion more retailers should do this! ^ArmandSol
A new kind of booking site, Hotelied, offers luxury hotels the opportunity to target discounts towards influential travelers with a large social media influence. Hotels probably hope that by offering these deals, the discounts will be outweighed by the exposure and publicity. I am quite sure it’s been done already between bloggers and hotels. Some bloggers are quite clear in their communication about these deals. But now we have the website Hotelied where travelers have to create a profile and link to their Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin. For people with a lot of fans or followers a great opportunity to gain some profit. But on the other hand, could this mean that the social media becomes less social? It seems that hotels can kind of buy ‘good reviews’ from influential travelers. Am I too suspicious and could we consider this as a win-win situation for the hotels, the booking site and the travelers? And assume that all those fans and followers will be able to read between the lines, what do you think? ^Marjolein van Spronsen
The German premium beer Warsteiner transformed the Amsterdam Forest (Amsterdamse Bos) last June 7 to a golf course with a ‘par-3 course’ specially designed for the occasion. LED lighting and striking ‘glow-in-the-dark‘ golf balls guiding the players along the golf course in an exceptional setting that was made up of temporary tee boxes and greens. As the sun went down, the game started (at 23:00 hour) and the last ball found the hole at 02:00 hour. As sponsor of the KLM Open and as official sponsor of the European PGA Tour, the top European golf competition, Warsteiner wants to help golf to a wider audiences.

Philips recreated a minitiature Times Square in Moscow’s new shopping and entertainment mall, Vegas Crocus City.

To archieve more attention for the laws that prevent under age drinking, Pinkpop organizer Jan Smeets communicates in various ways that the festival will provide no sigarettes nor alcohol to minors. The festival offered various alternatives, Happy Drinks was one of them.

In the Netherlands we have a saying: ‘In today’s newspaper tomorrow’s fish will be wrapped’. If we start to print newspaper items on paper towels we could change the saying in ‘with the news of the moment, we dry our hands.’ This perhaps provides a better insight in the volatility of many news items! Nice action from máspormás.
