The Download
Conceived during the challenging realities of the Covid pandemic and lockdown restrictions, and after throwing our marketing plans out the window, we pivoted our strategy by launching a video show and a podcast to engage audiences in an innovative way: informative + entertaining content.
This was a risk and the results paid off: delivered 90 times higher reach than any video content previously produced, averaging 40,000 views per episode, 1 million total views: a record by B2B standards!! My role as Creator and Executive Producer included concept development and buy-in, editorial strategy, go to market strategy, creative direction, scriptwriting, interviewer, hosting, and more.
A truly global cross-team and cross-regional global efforts, the Download reinvented B2B storytelling, and was recognized with the Innovator Award in 2022.
Fundraising Gala
Board Advisor and Volunteer at Belwest, Belgium and Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in the West.
As the MC, I had the privilege of orchestrating a truly memorable celebration that exceeded all expectations.
The highlight of the evening was moderating an intimate conversation with three trailblazers from the music world:
Nathalie Bonin - GRAMMY® Award winner whose compositions have graced Netflix's "Bridgerton" and who is breaking new ground with pioneering metaverse projects;
Sven Faulconer - Distinguished film and television composer whose recent works include the blockbuster "Scream VI" and the Academy Award-winning documentary "The Elephant Whisperers";
Victor le MASNE - The visionary French composer and multi-instrumentalist behind the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics ceremonies, whose collaboration with Gojira and Marina Viotti, "Mea Culpa (Ah! Ca ira!)" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance - a piece that magnificently opened the Olympics at the historic Conciergerie.
We discussed what it takes to create successful collaboration, the tension between creative vision, commissioned work and audiences needs, and the role of AI in the future of music composition. What a blast to spend time with these brilliant artists and to take a peak behind the creative process.
Written contributions and speaking engagements with global media and industry organizations.
