Week x of blogging

 First of all, sorry for my absence on these blogs, my computer was broken for around two weeks and I couldn’t upload anything because my password was stored on this computer.

So a short summary of past two weeks is that we were mainly focused working on our projects with our team, we made good progress in last two assignments; MGM-features of MyTelia-app and marketing of Telia’s Liiga service. As what it comes to actual learning we had a class where we were taught about speaking in general and especially pitching a few weeks ago. That was a great lesson about pitching, though I must disagree with the lecturer about being able to pitch an idea so well in a few minutes that you’ll get an investor/buyer. In my opinion it’s not too optimistic idea to be able to sell a product in a few minutes if the presenter is a good speaker and salesperson.

That was a short summary of those two weeks of my absence from my blog, now for this week’s blog. This week was the week we all had been waiting for, this week we were finally pitching our ideas to Telia’s people at Telia HQ in Helsinki.

On Thursday all of us gathered in Telia’s office in Helsinki, there was mainly every student from this group and around ten to fifteen people from Telia. The teams were pitching their ideas from three different subjects: 1. Create a Liiga-app, 2. Create content marketing social media plan for liiga and 3. Iterate Liiga product offering & its look and feel.  All teams had nice ideas on all subjects and mostly good presentations aswell. After all presentations Telia nominated three three teams as winners in different categories (best idea, best customer experience, best presentation), but sadly our team didn’t win an award.

So this week pretty much summed up last month or so, we are finally done with all the processes with Telia and from now on we only have a few more assignments regarding different clients.
