Eve Dmochowska’s Summary

My passion and expertise lies in New and Social Media. I share it with small and large business to help them build a social network, establish an online presence, and speak more efficiently with their customers.

I am the publisher of Internet Guide (www.internetguide.co.za) and the New Media Journal (www.TwoJumpsAhead.com)

I work on my own online projects and occasionally with online and offline clients. I address the ever-present challenge: how does one harness the power of New and Social Media to increase awareness and interactivity with an offline/online business, brand or product?

I stay on top of things by reading about 400 articles/blog posts a day, participating in the social media–sphere, talking to as many people who are influencers in this field as possible, writing a lot on the subject and applying my conclusions to my own ventures, and those of my clients.

I am a keen observer of online usage trends, and how they translate into new regions which have a longer - and delayed - adoption cycles (such as my country of residence, South Africa).

I have been active in the Internet world since 1996. I have a failed startup behind me, but my passion for the possibilities of online as a medium is endless!

I speak, read and write English and Polish, and can get by in Afrikaans. I am also presently studying French. I have called four countries home, and have an EU passport. Although I am very happy to live in South Africa, I and am open to the idea of living in a new region, for a temporary stay.

I am an excellent negotiator and an accomplished public speaker.

Eve Dmochowska’s Interests:

My away-from-the-desk life: In my other life, I work very hard not to be chained to the computer or the desk. Mostly, I succeed, which is great. I am a staunch believer in three-day weekends and regular coffee breaks with friends. I read every magazine I can lay my hands on, and there are always three or four books that I am trying to get through before I allow myself to get new ones. Quantum physics, parallel universes and energy fields are all topics that fascinate me. One day I am going to figure it all out, but not this week. Another thing I am going to do one day, (together with, apparently, half the world’s population) is write a book. I am an avid gardener, to which I attribute my sanity. Nothing like digging knee-deep in loam to disconnect from the world’s chaos!
