Ever since the beginning of this beautiful and sunny month of May I am part of the chocri- team in Berlin. I am the new intern and responsible for the social media division, which means everything concerning this blog, as well as our facebook and twitter presence. This is why I’d like to introduce myself to you.

My name is Alexandra, I am 26 years old and I come from a small town close to Bremen. About one and a half years ago I moved to Berlin to finish my studies at Humboldt- University. Before I start writing my thesis however, I am looking forward to be part of the chocri team for the next six months. I hope it’ll be an exciting and efficient time and I’d love to learn a lot. At least for foosball I have been guaranteed an increase in competence already; after my first two performances I have to say that this is definitely necessary... =)

See you soon, your Alex

Great video showcasing chocri! Deutsche Welle is a German but internationally broadcasted TV station, and they visited us, Professor Piller and MyParfuem, a customized fragrance company, in their quest to report about mass customization.

It's a nice portrait telling you about how the first chocri bar was created and how far chocri has come since then. Take a look, it's worth it!

And if you like videos about chocri, you should check out our Youtube page, where you can see several other videos about chocri. See you there :)

Can you believe it? Chocri USA already turns 1 year old today on Jan 11, 2011! While the first personalized chocolate bar was invented nearly 3 years ago by when Franz and MIchael, the chocri founders, had a last minute gift idea, but chocri as a company in Germany exists only a bit longer than 2 years, and as of today 1 year in the US!

The last year in review:
The year went by so fast, mostly because we've been super busy. Right after we launched, Valentine's Day hit, we had to change our shipping provider because they didn't deliver as fast as promised. Then Mother's Day was a huge hit, of which one result was the "Treasure Chest Chocolate Bar", developed in our Mother's Day contest by a child for her Mom. The bar is still selling strong in our Recommended Chocolate Bars section. This summer was the first summer in my life that I wished for lower temperatures, as some of the packages left outside on porches or in trucks only held melted chocolate after a while. Our cold packs was our answer, and I'm much more excited about warmer temperatures this year. Finally, the holidays have been absolutely crazy for us - we were on the Today Show, and Maxim, GQ, Cosmopolitan, Esquire all recommended us as a great holiday gift.

All in all, we've learned a ton this past year, and we appreciate every single note of feedback that you sent us, every phone call, comment on our Facebook page and tweet. In the end, all of this is only possible because of you!

We are excited to enter 2011 with more knowledge on how to get things done, some very interesting product innovation in the pipeline, and as always a passion to deliver you one-of-a kind chocolate bars with the highest quality ingredients and craftsmanship. Happy Birthday to us!
