Paris (a city I love) + LeWeb (great web conference) = Awesome mix.
How’s the event? Massive as usual, tons of people and friends, great networking…I’ll repeat that…great networking. Beside presentations and panels the real value is the huge number of key people you can meet at events like this.
I’m putting together the best snippets concerning marketing, PR, social media and communication. I’ll release that in a video after the conference so stay tuned. Meanwhile enjoy this short overview of the conference that I’ve just edited with imovie on my iphone (just great and sooo handy!).

Since I always listen to what my subscribers ask ( I will never let you down!) I share this with you now and I’ll address the specific needs of Sonja in my next video.
@Sonja sorry for the delay but I’m sure you’ll find some interesting tips in the next episode 😉
