In ‘Poor But Sexy’ Berlin, Brands Need to Understand Casual

Please check out my first article as a writer for AdAge, In ‘Poor But Sexy’ Berlin, Brands Need to Understand Casual.

In ‘Poor But Sexy’ Berlin, Brands Need to Understand Casual: To market successfully, you need to understand college kids

This is my first post for the Global Idea Network and I am happy to be here. I aim to post once-a-week about my experience in Berlin and around Europe as an expat. Today, I want to talk a little bit about Berlin, the city its Mayor, Klaus Wowereit, called “poor but sexy.”

Berlin is sexy, poor, and the most casual city I can imagine. Everyone wears jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, and some sort of field jacket. At first I mistook this casualness as slovenliness or poverty. No. Berlin’s casualness is very intentional. In spite of limited cash, Berliners are slaves to fashion and remain current. The moment jeans went skinny, Berlin went skinny. When the world became obsessed with Chuck Taylors, Berliners sported them. Current, as long as the fashion palette keeps to caps, jeans, t-shirts, jackets, and sneakers. When my friend Mark wore the wrong sort of casual his friends staged an intervention: the jeans were all wrong, the jacket was uncool, and the shoes had to go.

It occurred to me that successful marketing in Berlin requires marketing to college kids, who are the epitome of poor but sexy, across the board and for everything. How would you sell a car, a cell phone, a pair of panties, a watch, some gum, a bank account, or a credit card to a teenager and you’ll probably get it right here in Berlin.

When it comes to purchases, Berliners judge each others’ fashion sense like they do at college, where how you were dressed had more to do with style and selection — how you wore it — and less to do with the total cost of purchase and where you bought it. Competition in the marketplace comes from flea markets, hand-me-downs, swap meets, and eBay as easily as it may your competitor. Lots of those skinny jeans and Chuck Taylors were scored used from the 80s. I learned from my friend Libia from Mexico City that Berlin is world famous for its used clothing and consignment stores. There is no stigma associated with getting stuff used and cheap — quite the opposite.

There are other concerns when marketing to Berliners: biking, weather, exposure, and the elements. Like college students, Berliners take public transport and ride bikes every day in all sorts of Central European weather. In fact, I have been told again and again that bicycles are neither recreational nor optional. They’re essential to daily life. Like students going to class in the morning, Berliners need to carry everything they need for the day with them. Necessity demands that Manolos are pretty impractical, as are skirts, heavily-styled hairdos, and exceptionally-delicate makeup rituals.

Berlin casual is not limited to kids in their teens and twenties, however. I am talking about my 39-year-old friend Frank, who pretty much dresses in hooded sweatshirts and jeans all the time (with a fierce family brand loyalty to the G-Star brand, universally popular in Berlin) and, coincidentally, dresses just like his two sons, 8 and 10, as you can see in the photo illustrations. Yes, Frank, who runs a production company called The Lime Machine, approved this post.

I have been invited to be a European correspondent to the AdAge Global Idea Network. I am a resident of Berlin, Germany, and will be mostly reporting my experience in Central and Eastern Europe; however, GIN is a moveable feast — it is global, after all. I hope you enjoy the post. Please consider subscribing to the blog. I plan to post at least once-a-week. Plus, there are a wide assortment of other great bloggers from around the world.

The Freezer Might Have Unfogged My Seiko 6309-70

The Freezer Might Have Unfogged My Seiko 6309-7040 Diver

I love my new old Seiko 6309-7040 Diver but I have had some problems with fogging that had been killing me. It is always so sad when you have a perfect, badass, chunky Seiko diver that is fogged up — diving watches, even classic watches from the 70s, should probably be water-resistant. It got fogged up, then I put it away and used my other fancy diver.

After a couple months, the steel bracelet of my other diver broke, so I went back to my Seiko 6309-7040 Diver — and the fogging was gone for months. Sadly, I adjusted the time and it fogged again. I have been struggling with the fogging. I tried to dry out the watch in the oven and it worked until the watch got cool, then it fogged again.

Here’s the solution — and it might be unintuitive, but it works! Unscrew the watch to make sure it can breathe. Then, throw the watch into the freezer! There isn’t any place in the house that is drier than the ice box.

Why? Well, because all the water turns to ice, so the watch dries out and all of the vapor leaves the watcha and take to the rest of the box. So far, I removed the watch from the freezer, quickly adjusted the time and then put it on my wrist. So far so good.

So, if you have a problem with your dive watch or any other watch and there’s water in the watch and you’re getting all fogged up, give the freezer a try. You need to make sure your screw-down winding mechanism is unscrewed; otherwise, you’ll just freeze the water inside the watch.

So, I know you’re tempted to put the watch on top of the radiator or in over at a very low temperature, it doesn’t work as well as bringing the timepiece below zero. The watch is now down to body temperature and the watch it still clear! I will let you know what I discover — to see if it really works.

I love this watch very much and I want this classic tool watch — it is really iconic and probably one of the best, most innovative, dive watch ever produced, with the famous and very cool.

Who knows.

I think that if the watch doesn’t maintain its dryness, I will need to find myself a watchmaker or watch repair guru to give me some proper help.

Anyway, if you have any sure-fire ways to dry out a watch, please let me know because I am still not completely certain that this watch is completely clear of humidity.

I will try to give you a report in about 24-hours as to how this all worked out (crossing fingers).

I really loved Quantum of Solace. Like any boy, I am fired up and feeling like a need to work out.

BBC Bluetooth Publicity Stunt

I live right next door to the main train station in Berlin, Berlin Hauptbahnhof. It is big, glitzy, and stylish. Yes, there is a giant microphone bursting through the floor, like an alien monolith, surrounded by police tape. If your Bluetooth is on when you're in the train station, within Bluetooth range, you get pitched, in English, about the various media the BBC World News offers: web, television, video, mobile. I received four different messages via bluetooth. The first was a link to the mobile top stories site. Then two videos, one of which showed how hard-hitting the BBC is. Finally, a bright see GIF of the BBC logo and the site URL. I was amused and impressed.
