Δημήτρης Βυθούλκας (Βυθός). Ένα διαφορετικό βιογραφικό!

• Creative Director

• PR, Campaigns & Events Coordinator
• Media Theorist

Με πάνω από 17 χρόνια στο χώρο της Διαφήμισης και Επικοινωνίας ίσως ο πιο κατάλληλος χαρακτηρισμός που θα μπορούσε να περικλείει όλες μου τις ιδιότητες θα ήταν Δημιουργικός Επεξεργαστής Πληροφοριών. Πράγματι, ο χώρος της Επικοινωνίας επιβάλει τη σωστή συλλογή, επεξεργασία και κατανομή των πληροφοριών κάτι που απαιτεί μεθοδολογία και νομοτέλεια κάτω όμως – ευτυχώς – από μια δημιουργική ευέλικτη βάση που επιτρέπει τη γέννηση νέων ιδεών. Σαν άτομο ο όρος που μου αρέσει να δίνω στον εαυτό μου είναι Φιλουσιαστής, αγαπώ την ουσία δηλαδή και δέχομαι την αλήθεια των πραγμάτων, όχι αυτή που με βολεύει αλλά παραμένω ανοιχτός στην υιοθέτηση νέων τρόπων σκέψης. Ως άνθρωπος είμαι απλά ένας μεταμοντερνιστικός εμπειριστής που του αρέσει να βουτάει στο Ηρακλείτιο ποτάμι.
Ο επαγγελματικός μου τρόπος προσέγγισης βασίζεται σε μια καθαρά μεθοδολογική αντιμετώπιση (Campaign Methodology) που περιλαμβάνει την αναζήτηση και την θέσπιση επιτεύξιμων στόχων, την αναζήτηση τρόπων επηρεασμού μέσα από αυτούς που το κοινό μας στόχος είναι έτοιμο να υιοθετήσει, την επικοινωνία με ευκολονόητα και εύπεπτα μηνύματα και το πιο σημαντικό από όλα την αξιολόγηση των αποτελεσμάτων για διευκόλυνση μελλοντικών ενεργειών. Η συστημική θα έλεγα αυτή μέθοδος αξιοποιείται στο μέγιστο ή μάλλον ντύνεται με έναν «ιερό» μανδύα στις καμπάνιες αλλαγής κοινωνικής συμπεριφοράς όπου εκεί η ειδοποιός διαφορά είναι η μόνιμη αλλαγή του ατόμου.
Τρία είναι να πράγματα που έχω βάλει σκοπό στη ζωή μου να πραγματοποιήσω έτσι ώστε να μπορώ να κοιτάω τα παιδιά μου στα μάτια όταν μεγαλώσουν: τη δημιουργία ενός πρωτοποριακού εκπαιδευτικού σχολείου που θα εκκολάπτει σκεπτόμενα ελεύθερα άτομα – κάτι το οποίο ξεκίνησα σαν ιδρυτικό μέλος στο Lighthouse στη Λεμεσό – την εισαγωγή στο υφιστάμενο εκπαιδευτικό σύστημα του μαθήματος των ΜΜΕ (Media advocacy/Deconstructing media) έτσι ώστε τα παιδιά από νωρίς να μπορούν να φιλτράρουν σωστά τις πληροφορίες που τους δίνονται από τα ΜΜΕ – απορώ ειλικρινά πώς ακόμα αφήνουμε τα παιδιά μας απροστάτευτα σε μια τέτοια δίνη πληροφοριών – και τρίτον τη δημιουργία ενός ανεξάρτητου οργανισμού που κύριο σκοπό θα έχει να προωθεί αλλαγές κοινωνικής συμπεριφοράς τόσο από την πλευρά της Πολιτείας προς τους πολίτες της όσο και από τους πολίτες προς την Πολιτεία ως ένας μοχλός πίεσης. Ο οργανισμός αυτός θα πρέπει να στοιχειοθετείται από καταξιωμένους και επιστήμονες όπως Κοινωνιολόγοι, Ανθρωπολόγοι, Νομικοί, Φιλόλογοι, Ακαδημαϊκοί, Μάρκετινγκ, Εικαστικοί, Ποιητές, Μουσικοί και Διαφημιστές όπου για μένα θα παίζουν τον αντίστοιχο ρόλο των «σοφών» που είχαμε στην αρχαία Ελλάδα, ένα αισθητικό και σκεπτικιστικό αντίβαρο δηλαδή απέναντι σε κάθε μορφή παρακμιακής εξουσίας. Η επαγγελματική μου εμπειρία και η ακαδημαϊκή μου μεταπτυχιακή μόρφωση μου έδωσε τα όπλα να μπορώ να πολεμήσω το «λιμνάζων σύστημα» από μέσα, κάτι σαν υιός δηλαδή, κι αυτό γιατί το διδάσκω.
Για να γίνουν όλα αυτά απαιτείται συλλογική, μεθοδική και εμπεριστατωμένη εργασία και ελεύθερη ανταλλαγή ιδεών κάτι το οποίο πιστεύω πως μέσα από την Εταιρεία Συστημικών Μελετών μπορεί να επιτευχθεί. Από την άλλη, ως οπαδός της ουσίας θέτω εαυτόν στις υπηρεσίες του κοινού καλού, όποιου κι αν είναι αυτό!
