Bas Grasmayer’s Summary

Currently still a student, but have gathered much professional experience during my studies, as you can see below.

My university is a university of Applied Sciences. This means I don't just have theoretical training, but have also got pratical experience through group projects in the fields of:
- mass communication,
- branding and identity,
- intercultural communication,
- internal communication,
- trendwatching and concept development,
- copywriting,
- public relations and publicity.

Through self-study I've taught myself in the fields of:
- motivation psychology,
- interpersonal communication,
- social psychology,
- internet marketing.

Through my weblog and other online ventures I've learned a lot about writing, internet marketing, what makes a website work (and what doesn't).

My short-term goal is a successful completion of my bachelor degree by composing my final thesis in the topic of The Future of Music Distribution with 2AM Records in Sofia, Bulgaria.

My long-term goal is to become an independent communication professional and expert, working around the world, in 'new' economies.
