Welcome
I am Gyurka Jansen and I live in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Currently I'm working a a consultant for a Market Research agency in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. We're trying to find new fast, smart and 'social' ways to do research. I'm an editor for the Dutch website 'DeJaap' and I write articles for several marketing blogs. Every Sunday night, I have a column on tips, tricks and hypes on the internet on Dutch Radio 1.
Using my sociological and technical expertise I give trainings and guest lectures about new media, online marketing and online research. You can read more about me here. Or check out:
