Interactive Marketing Manager, Strategist and Trainer for Transcontinental Media and www.guillaumebrunet.com
Montreal, Canada Area
Recipient of a Master's degree in E-Commerce at HEC Montréal, I have over the years accumulated considerable experience as an Internet marketing manager, strategist and speaker. Always eager for a challenge and driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, I founded Adviso Internet Strategy in 2002 with four other associates before joining TD Insurance Canada's leader in online insurance, as Interactive Marketing Project Leader. In this very dynamic online sector, I planned and oversaw the creation of interactive campaigns on a national scale.
In May 2007, I joined the ranks of Transcontinental Media as Marketing Director. In this role, I define marketing strategies for the Digital Media Group in order to boost traffic, build visitor loyalty and increase advertising sales.
Over the years, I have built a solid business network by becoming involved in numerous groups related to my specialty, namely, "Association des professionnels de la communication et du marketing" (APCM) and Interactive Advertising Bureau of Canada (IAB).
These experiences have allowed me to put my leadership qualities to good use, and have helped me build a reputation in the media as a specialist in the field.
I specialize principally in:
• E-marketing and drive to web strategies
• Online Advertising planning
• Strategic e-business analyses
• Online customer experience
• Competitive analysis and online benchmarking
• Internet performance metrics
• Training
• Managing marketing budget and team
