Hi, Im Henriette - a self-employed marketer who are living working and breathing in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I have my own company called Toothless Tiger that takes on projects where marketing is a natural (almost invisible) thing.
I live after the saying that "the business of business should be more than business" and that is also what I teach in my speeches and on my workshops.
Why should a company be a company at all - when in essence, they could choose to be a rock band ?
I am looking forward to meet you

In my role at the State Services Commission, I'm an Advisor for Strategy & Policy within ICT. What that means in day-to-day is that I investigate Web 2.0 (whatever that means) trends, and figure out how the government can use new technologies to engage better with the public.
One of my major roles is acting as editor and project manager for the State Service Commission's blog, In Development - http://blog.e.govt.nz .
I'm interested in ways to engage participation, and how to build communities.
I've been online for a long time. Since 1995 if you wanted to deal with numbers. During that time I used mosaic, became addicted to IRC, was one of the first people in NZ to have an online journal, have ridden many trends and am most proud of the community that I've built up around www.wellingtonista.com.
If it's happened online in New Zealand, I've probably had an opinion on it. What makes me stand out is my lack of geekery, and my self-confidence to talk about my experiences as an end-user.
