Elena Antognazza’s Summary

I have been dealing with internet and new media since 1993, initially working as Internet Manager in one of Italy most important media centres, and then in the Netherlands with UUNET, the first internet business provider.

I have launched and moderated mailing lists dedicated to online marketing since 1997, including Mlist, the best-known and most populated mailing list about online marketing in Italy with more than 6.400 subscribers.

In 1997 I wrote my first book “Web Marketing for SME”, still considered a reference for the online marketing industry. I have been a trainer and a consultant, organizing workshops and seminars across Italy about online, offline and mobile integration.

I am currently Head of Marketing with PayPal in Italy.
