This post is probably my biggest announcement since the begining of my blog ! I am more than happy to share the news with you this morning: I am joining Edelman Paris as Director of Online Communications.
I am leaving my entrepreneur's life to join the only independent global PR firm, counting 1900 employees in 43 countries worldwide and 272 M$ in 2005...
Well, I have to say I am very enthousiastic and also excited to join such a famous brand and by the way one of the first to have very seriously consider the blogosphere, which is not so usual for a PR firm... Studies conducted with Intellisseek and Blogpulse, global survey to identifye bloggers profile with Technorati, launch of Richard Edelman's blog one year ago, and Phil Gomes the first PR blogger in the world, it seems like I won't be lost there... ;o)
So yes, for all those reasons, the first positive business experience I shared with the team here in Paris, the potential of development and the kind of companies Edelman is working with, the way they've asked me to join and leave my own consultancy: I come ! And yes, I leave my entrepreneur's freedom !
To terminate this post, I'd like to say a special "thank you" to someone who had a strong influence in my blogger life and who has some "responsibilities" in this story happening now, and who probably will in the futur again...;o)

Guillaume, our meetings and discussions were so full of shared enthousiasm that I nearly have the feeling that you are not joining Edelman Paris but rather that Edelman Paris is joining you. It's a nice feeling.
Thank you for your trust.
