BIO

ABOUT ME

With 8+ years experience in digital agency, 5 years freelancing and startup founder, I am a skilled digital marketing consultant specialised in SEO. I strategize and execute the online marketing action for my client with implication and involvement.

I would describe myself as passionate by technology and entrepreneurship.

My client management is a mix between active listening, comprehension of the needs. strategy, agile implementation and performance monitoring (ROI). Technically switched-on, I can work for corporate and e-commerce websites while taking in consideration the needs of all the stakeholders.

Always keeping in mind SEO long-term stakes, I recommend and execute the best marketing approach to my clients, depending of the objectives, target market and budget. 

HOBBIES

Sports

I have been told that I am a dynamic person and I take any opportunity to play team sports (soccer, beach-volleyball, bootcamp) or individual sports (hiking, athletics: marathons & half-marathons, free diving, fitness). My next focuses will be surf, kite-surf and martial arts.

Personal development

I practice on a regular basis meditation and yoga in order to be more conscious of the surrounding world. Also, I am studying alternative medicines and knowledge linked with wellness and mindfulness.

Other hobbies

I would barely be able to say no to playing cards, board games or video games. Playfulness is my secret to free creativity and perform at the highest level possible.

About The Publication
Hi there, today is a special day. Having worked hard over the last couple of weeks, I am very glad and happy to announce that HopHopRide.com.au is now live! The website will allow backpackers and travelers to organise their road trips around Australia. Inspired from carsharing and from my experience with BlaBla Car in Europe, the aim of HopHop Ride is to connect travelers so they can share the experience (and the cost) of their trips. This is the first version. I am conscious that it is far to be perfect from a user-experience and SEO point of view and I am already looking forward to improving the platform. Feel totally free to send me your thoughts! If you are planning or already traveling in Australia, reach out to me and I will be happy to help you organise your trip and give you tips. Obviously, the first one will be to create your account on HopHopRide.com.au 😁 ! Peace and Love ✌
