Living Spaces has gone live again, with some essential social media additions. Gabriele Drossos is an interior designer working in Austria. She had a good web site already, but was after expanding her online presence to expand the reach of Living Spaces and explore new markets.

I suggested some new Social Media solutions for her redesigned website and her other online activities. The use of more photos and less writing in her blog was an important step – after all, her work is very visual, and should be represented as such. Furthermore she is now utilizing and promoting the power of social bookmarking (more on this subject next time).

In addition to Social Media tools that Gabriele is employing on her own site, she is also making use of Social Networking. She is on Xing and Flickr, and is also working on expanding her set of contacts in other social networks.

Gabriele’s overall aim is to boost her profile in Austria as well as internationally, but big marketing campaigns are not really an option for her at the moment. Social Media however will amplify her messages and the messages of her clients and can help her achieve her communication agenda effectively and with little financial investment. Have a look at her website, and tell her what you think of her work!
