October 2007 — August 2009 (1 year 11 months)

I entered Czech branch of mBank (brand of BRE Bank, a major Polish bank owned by Commerzbank) having just 7 weeks before launch to create all the content of the website and also learn everything about the products, processes and banking (since I haven’t had any background in this area). Also start creating community, mostly through mBank forum and blog, but also monitoring and participating on discussion servers & social networks. Due to the unique situation my job had also a lot to do with: internet banking and requested changes, implementation and testing of new products (plus coordination of friendly customers), customer care (before the position was created it was almost solely my duty). The forum has had over 78k posts over first year, and we have generally succeeded in creating of a ‘love brand’. I was also a speaker on meetings and conferences on the theme of Web 2.0 (WebExpo, OpenMeeting) and I have taught the course Social Media – Theory & Practice on Masaryk University, Brno.
