Hade tänkt att embedda min film från Ledarnas kampanj “Världens bästa CV”, men det går ju sådär nu när de valt att stänga kampanjen på grund av att de blivit anmälda till Reklamombudsmannen. Success från början, betydligt mer /fail nu. Britneys utlåtande kunde inte kommit mer otajmat.

Ledarnas kampanj i blåsväder hos Resumé, på Twitter är allt ongoing och bollen i rullning också, Nikke Lindqvist ligger bakom anmälan till RO, håller med hans kommentar om att det hela är “ohyggligt klantigt”. Nikke har även bloggat bra om det hela, finns tydligen en fin koppling till en gammal namnlista som Jonas Lejon gjorde från Searchmeet 2009.

“Kiva’s mission is to connect people, through lending, for the sake of alleviating poverty.”

Today I’d like to congratulate myself for reaching 500 bucks lent out via Kiva! I reached it today when I lent the modest sum of $25 to Zikusooka Women’s Group-lugazi in Uganda. I think Kiva is fantastic and it’s really one of those places online were I can sit around browsing for a good hour or so, reading all of the amazing stories told by not-so-lucky entrepreneurs. Most of whom are driven, passionate, and possess all other possible traits that might be wanted in an entrepreneur in the “western world”.

The facts and history of Kiva is really something. In total, good people have contributed with over $155,400,000 to support other human beings around the globe that really just need a break to get themselves going.

Even though I thought that I’ve tried to keep my portfolio diversified as best as I could, meaning that I thought I hadn’t favourized any particular sector or country – it seems I was mistaken. This image shows a snapshot of my present and past loans:

As you can see, my favorite entrepreneurial country to lend to has been Peru, and it seems I’ve had a bit of a crush for the retail-sector when it comes to my “investments”. Luckily I browsed to the Kiva App Gallery by mistake today and found the KivaFolio-app. KivaFolio is an app that helps analyze your Kiva portfolio’s diversity across different sectors and countries, and recommends fundraising loans that would help to balance the portfolio. Great!

After taking the app for a test run it seems I should be lending more money to agriculture in Ecuador, Kyrgyzstan, Kenya, and Tajikistan. Maybe you should too?

Unbelievable, wouldn’t you say? Kudos to Gary.

To my knowledge, AdWell Media was founded early 2009 by TV4.se’s previous Director of Sales Erik Hamberg. They immediately closed deals with some impressive (Swedish) partners including Newsmill, Booli, AllaAnnonser, and Feber.

One small detail that seem to have been lost in the creation of the company is; a professional website. I’ve been having a draft post about this for a long time, I first named it “Here’s your new site AdWell Media!” thinking I’d be kind enough to provide them with a PSD-template of what one would expect of their site. But as time is of the essence and limited, you can outsource that. It doesn’t have to be something spectacular, just something that doesn’t look cheap, has poor quality images, and nothing but contact details. It’s almost as if it’s parked.

I’m sure you’re great at sales and very successful, but this does ooze of unprofessionalism to me.

So please AdWell Media – invest in a new website. Who knows what new partners that might give you?
