Damien Douani's Summary
Tags : social media guru, digital explorer, early adopter, heavy blogger, new trends savvy, alpha geek.
I'm today the co-founder of FaDa social agency, an company that helps enterprises and brands to understand and manage their digital footprint.
Priviously, I was head of the European Marketing & Communications department at blueKiwi, a profesional social networks leading company. I was in charge of the digital department (strategy and operations), communities management, I helped our customers to understand how to run their community, and I evangelized brands, journalists... to social media benefits (journalists, conference, etc).
Until april 2009, I worked for the Orange group. My last job was to explore, imagine new products and services, to detect uses trends, and find new business fields for the Strategic Marketing Division in the Innovation Department.
This place developped an innovative method based on open innovation to produce disruptive ideas, by putting together marketing guys, design talents, sociologists, ingenieers, using trends studies and creativity sessions and a lot of customers insights.
During this time I have founded katoa.com, and three blogs (Stan&Dam, ReadWriteWeb France, Owni). I'm what I call a "serial blogger". I also imagine and produce short videos about technologies (the report) and new conversations (#blur).
Previously I worked in R&D as a new medias futurologist and as an innovation & international projet manager.
I started @ Mondadori group (3rd european press company) in UK.
Last points :
- I've got a very good knowledge and a passion for traditional, new and cross medias (internet, newspapers, radio, television and more).
- I have a passion for trendy, innovative and disruptive ideas.
- I take improvisational theater lessons.
- I hosted a radio show for 5 years
- I filmed two short movies and I host an annual short movies festival in Paris

Ignite is a global event, organized by volunteers, where participants are given five minutes to speak about their ideas and personal or professional passions, accompanied by 20 slides. Each slide is displayed for 15 seconds, and slides are automatically advanced.
The presentations are meant to "ignite" the audience on a subject, i.e. to generate awareness and to stimulate thought and action on the subjects presented.
The first Ignite was held in 2006 in Seattle, Washington, and was the brainchild of Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis. It was sponsored by O'Reilly Media and MAKE magazine. Since its inception, more than 50 Ignites have been started in cities around the world.
