The year 2011 for Stenstrominfo

The Most Honourable Invitation
I was so surprised and honoured when the Estonian Embassy invited me to a tour of Estonia. We visited several companies. I am so glad that they asked me to join them.

The Proudest Board Assignment
In May, I was asked to serve on Tillväxt Gotland’s board. Tillväxt Gotland is about developing Gotland, and I take the responsibility very seriously. 2011 has been a rather tricky year, but we will be more active in 2012. Starting NOW!

Funniest Job
To write future articles! That is a type of job I started doing a couple of years ago, but this year it feels like more people are beginning to understand why it’s so good to ask me to take a mental trip to the future in the role of a fictitious reporter writing an article about my visit.

Important Insight
My friend and business contact, Pigge, understood that he should buy an iPad, an iPhone, and an iMac. Wow! I have tried to persuade him since 2004, when we first met. And now it happened!

The Social Media Bonus
Some people wonder why they should use Social Media. Now I can tell them that during the autumn I got two jobs via Facebook and two via Twitter. Three of those jobs came from persons who already knew me, but the fourth came from a person I had never met, namely the opera singer Rickard Söderberg. We“met” on Twitter, and then he needed help redesigning his homepage.

Åsa Stenström

Market communication consultant

I live and work on Gotland, Sweden’s biggest island, right in the middle of the Baltic Sea. I’m interested in many things and somehow I happened to start four blogs with different content.

Asa In the Middle of the World is in English and is also about life on this island, but the content has changed to be more about Apple. I’m very interested in Apple and since 1989 I’m a Happy Apple User.
