Welcome to Florian Gabriels Blog

Building a Video Podcast production company keeps me busy looking at Business Communications and Online Video Productions.

Currently I spend my time teaching Project Management, Digital Design and Internet 101 at the Vancouver Film School. www.vfs.com

A side project on a sweet note is my small assignment for the Fort Langley Bakery. Promoting and developing business I designed their website and managed some sales activities in the spring 2008.

It seems that I still get attracted to the tourism industry. Go-West Camper International was one of my clients for a complete brand and website redesign.
Go-West rents and sells Motorhome and Trailers in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto.

In this project I did a study comparing the functionalities of the Swiss Digital Asset Management Product Picturepark with its North American competitors.

The Swiss Choco Chalet chocolate are /IS ONE of the finest chocolate products you CAN find in Switzerland. And I am the LUCKY ONE WHO GETS TO figure out how TO BRING IT TO Vancouver, Canada, sell it and have people INDULGE IN THIS Swiss Chocolate experience. But wait a second! Doesn’t that already exist? I see Swiss Chocolate wherever I look and among them I find Belgium, Dutch, British and even American Chocolate.

But does that matter? It is the art of marketing, right? How you package it, how you put it on the market, the lifestyle you promote with it. Fine! I am not getting discouraged. My tests with several people showed me that we are on the right track.

After all I left that project with a simple market study and moved on to my next venture.

Right after Lucerne School of Business I was accepted at Hapimag, a timeshare company with over 60 Resorts all over Europe. I started working as project manager maintaining the current website and implementing the new holiday catalogue. The following year a complete redesign of the website was planned. Together with media-access, Stuttgart I was leading the complete make over and in charge of the online communications department. The new website. www.hapimag.com runs on a asp .net framework, features five languages, contains over 800 html pages and uses an automated translation interface.
