Whilst working on my startup GamePumpkin in Ireland I came in contact with a lot of interesting people and companies that would prove to play a different roll than I originally thought.
When my business partner left I decided to build up my financial muscle before I would take the business venture to The UK. In Ireland and through the preparation in Norway I had considered many different marketing tools. When I now where looking for a job, I contacted the companies of which tools I liked and where planning to use myself. The result is that I now do social media consultancy work for three companies:
I came in contact with the founder and CEO Dag Holmboe when I was doing research on social media ROI for my social media studies at my last semester at my Business School before I went to Ireland.
We wanted to use the service ourselves and I’m now introducing this fine product in Norway as a Business Developer.
Klurig Analytics is a Social Media Analytics company. Klurig Analytics develops methodologies to analyze and estimate the return value and ROI of social media campaigns.
Using industry standard conversion and cost metrics together with proprietary algorithms, Klurig’s methodologies convert web and social metrics into social media return value measured in dollars and social media ROI.
The social media return value is based on the values of return channels. Using a different algorithm per return channel, a return channel value is calculated. Taken as a whole, all return channel values becomes the total social media return value. The social media ROI is estimated using the social media return value and the social media investment together with the standard financial ROI formula.
I meet one of the co-founders Mike Sikorski at Dublin Beta where he was demoing. Huggity is a unique Post Event Marketing Tool, which allows brands to extend their exposure and maximise their ROI on event marketing by engaging fans online (on Facebook), after the event.

It also offer a direct, tangible advertising value in form of impressions and clicks on Facebook. Huggity offer analytic tools which allow to measure effectiveness and reach of the message and various data capture techniques, which help to collect data for direct marketing campaigns after the event.
Huggity’s solution also allows associations, event orginisers, teams and bands to add a very attractive revenue stream, in form of advertising inventory.
