co-founder
Obiwi
(Online Media industry)
October 2006 — Present (2 years 10 months)
Obiwi.fr is a media 2.0 site about passions. Passionate people create the content with the help of the platform and editors.
Our ambition is to take the best of both world: main stream medias who know how to monetise a site but suffer in traffic on one hand and social medias who engage so many people and content but do not master advertising/ROI business models on the other hand.
Obiwi is a laboratory that will create the next generation of media: the technology through a CCMS (content and community management system) and the know-how of editing/managing communities of interest.
On the B2C side, the website (www.obiwi.fr) covers a large variety of topics of lifestyle interest. On the B2B side, media partners buy the technology, the know-how and the management of editorial communities. -
