I first laid my hands on a Commodore 64 as a teenager, and I’ve had a digital presence for as long as I can remember.

I started using the web in college back in France when AOL was the Internet provider of choice, Pac Man the best game out there, and chat rooms connected random strangers from across the globe!

I moved to the UK in 2000 and discovered MSN Messenger followed by MySpace a few years later. In 2006 I took a deep dive into social media and launched blog till you drop! (originally blogtillyoudrop.wordpress.com) and quickly became hooked to the social web.

I started joining every social network I could, reading and engaging with blogs and social communities such as Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube or Delicious. I wanted to understand how people engage in these sites, and how companies and brands could participate and add to these communities.

I currently live in London, helping brands and agencies understand and engage with a new generation of digital consumers.

My areas of expertise include:

- Social media strategy (technical development, blogging,  social media monitoring, Twitter, and social networks management)
- Social media training
- WOM Marketing, Buzz and Digital PR
