&lt;p&gt;I recently read about Dell&amp;#39;s Project Da Vinci.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Congratulations!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I neither work for Dell nor for WPP...&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;yet&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; However,&amp;nbsp;my creative side is&amp;nbsp;insatiable&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s my forte&amp;#39;.&amp;nbsp; With fourteen years of on-air radio experience and an additional seven years of stand-up comedy locally here in Austin, I confidently believe I have something to contribute to Dell, Project Da Vinci WPP and its shareholders.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, in return, working for Ms. Hausladen and Mr. Segall would provide me with the daily&amp;nbsp;creative outlet I crave &lt;em&gt;sooo&lt;/em&gt; much every single day.&amp;nbsp; Heck, I even practice writing&amp;nbsp;jokes and monologues on my off time just for the fun. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who does that?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Well, it is Austin and we are all pretty weird collectively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Valerie, Ken:&amp;nbsp;be prepared, a tsunami of creativity is heading your way.&amp;nbsp; By the way, I have Project Da Vinci&amp;#39;s first TV commercial.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ladies and Gentlemen: thank you all for your valuable time and consideration.&amp;nbsp; I hope to be working for you&amp;nbsp;all soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Warm regards to all,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

very practical and will be efficient. Not only because it sounds as a good plan
but because some times ago I had a chance to work on few of Dell projects and
saw how the inefficient were the efforts and how the chain works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aida Martirosyan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;European Economic Chamber&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=42031" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Dell Introduces the Next Da Vinci</title><link>http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2007/12/02/37114.aspx#41514</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:03:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e3197daa-ef0d-4a70-8402-29215ff9a0f2:41514</guid><dc:creator>Martin C</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I ´m a Regional Account Director in South Latin America in one of the WPP group global agencies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I´m working for a global account ( i can only say it´s a FMCG) in an integrated marketing services or what some one called a &amp;quot;Thru-the-line&amp;quot; service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In our daily work we keep in mind all the stakeholder: consumer, buyers, sales affiliates, distributor and wholesalers. For a similar job, Project Da Vinci should have the most capable people and the attitude in this type of agency job: account people is easy. Creatives (ATL &amp;amp; BTL) is not so easy....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think the project is an excellent strategical move from the Dell´s top marketing officers and will gave increase brand value, business growth in sales and a lower agencies fees expenditures (having one global AOR), keeping the budget.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think the project Da Vinci is so interest and challenging that maybe I applied when the recruitment starts and all the positions are define.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congratulations again Mr Casey&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best &amp;quot;Merde&amp;quot; (do not say the opposite word...)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Martin&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;form the bottom of the world&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=41514" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Dell Introduces the Next Da Vinci</title><link>http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2007/12/02/37114.aspx#41190</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:36:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e3197daa-ef0d-4a70-8402-29215ff9a0f2:41190</guid><dc:creator>thomas</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;hey, &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;it doesn t mean WPP 's media agency wil handle the media work, for instance Mediacom ?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Will it be the Da vinci 's media entity only, or they wil have connexion with WPP agencies ?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

I represent a community of business leaders who mold public opinion and but lots of IT services.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=40872" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Dell Introduces the Next Da Vinci</title><link>http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2007/12/02/37114.aspx#40389</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jan 2008 17:17:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e3197daa-ef0d-4a70-8402-29215ff9a0f2:40389</guid><dc:creator>N. Venkatraman</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;I remember the time when IT Outsourcing started (1989). Over the last two decades, the idea of IT outsouring has gone from being a crazy idea ("how can you outsource your crwon jewels") to one that calls for seriously using the power of expertise in the vendor community ("Sourcing capabilities with a portfolio of vendors"). I believe that this is a big, bold and innovative idea that may revoloutionize marketing services. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I posted an &lt;A class="" title="Dell and WPP Restructure Marketing Services" href="http://network-strategy.blogspot.com/2007/12/dell-and-wpp-restructure-marketing.html"&gt;entry&lt;/A&gt; about it on my blog.&amp;nbsp; I am looking forward to tracking the developments--not only this initiative but also follow-on responses by other firms to gain from rethinking pooling of marketing talent. Best Wishes. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=40389" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
