Image Communication: Anne Hufnagel criticizes the image campaigns of the chancellor candidates

Anne Hufnagel, as a photographer, asks the highly exciting question of whether our chancellor candidates have a strategy for their image communication. A worthwhile video not only for marketing students. Even if some assessments are certainly up for discussion.

In a contribution to Gabor Steingart’s “Morning Briefing”, she criticizes their lack of strategies for image communication. In the video, she shows which image campaigns she would have developed for Laschet, Baerbock and Scholz.

As top politicians, she argues, it is their job to define the image communication with a team at the beginning of the election campaign – i.e. what image they are aiming for, what images are needed for this and what strategy must be implemented for this.

Center for Ocean and Society researches innovation clusters against climate change

The Center for Ocean and Society (CeOS) as an interdisciplinary platform for research on the sea and coast investigates the question of how a certificate trade can be adapted to drive technological breakthroughs. To achieve greater technological advances, private and public efforts often need to be combined. This works particularly well in innovation clusters. Prominent examples of this are the Silicon Valley and the Boston Area.

In innovation clusters, a whole research and development infrastructure, in which publicly funded institutions such as universities and research laboratories are involved, provides ideas, methods, prototypes, qualified workers and laboratories that can be used by private companies for the commercialization of the designs. This is what the Center for Ocean and Society writes in a post on their homepage.

The research platform refers to the article “Permit markets, carbon prices and the creation of innovation clusters”, which was published in Resource and Energy Economics. In it, Marie-Catherine Riekhof from CeOS, together with Hans Gersbach from ETH Zurich, investigates how such an innovation cluster for green technologies can be promoted with emission trading systems.

Mobile Industry: Newsletter Addresses Instore-Navigation in Hardware Stores

The newsletter from Mobilbranche.de addresses the topic of “Instore Navigation in hardware stores”. In its issue on 06.09.2021, the online information channel, which informs decision-makers about important topics, developments and trends around mobile technology, reports on the advantage that the system of Instore Navigation developed by the Hamburg company locandis offers.

It says: “If you are not a regular customer in the hardware store, you probably know the difficulty of finding the product you are looking for. Not for nothing is there an information desk in almost every hardware store where you can then have the employees explain the way through the often long aisles. At Hagebau dealer Wigger in Neumünster, an app from the Hamburg locandis GmbH now helps. Here you can enter the product you are looking for and then be guided to the right place by Instore Navigation. If you need several products, the app calculates the shortest way through the store to find everything as quickly and stress-free as possible.”

Locandis GmbH specializes in solutions around location-based marketing, indoor navigation, digital customer cards and more.

Food Newspaper Reports on Instore Navigation at Hagebau

The Food Newspaper currently reports on the recently introduced system of instore navigation at Hagebau. With this technology, controlled via a smartphone app, customers can find their way around the hardware store better.

As reported, customers at Hagebau dealer Wigger from Neumünster can be guided through the market to the desired product by instore navigation. This is linked to offers and additional information that customers receive directly on their mobile phones at the shelf. This was realized by the company locandis from Hamburg, which specializes in technology, conception and strategies for solutions around location-based marketing, indoor navigation, digital customer cards and more.

The Food Newspaper refers in its article to the finding of experts that the technology is still waiting for its breakthrough. Thus, Prof. Hans-Christian Riekhof, Mathieu Grüneklee and Leon Reutel in 2021 conducted a study for the Private University of Göttingen (PFH) among executives in retail on the topic of instore navigation in German retail. The enormous potential of the technology for stationary retail also became clear.
