Currently, I work in a society that has 65 employees. It is located in Paris in the 15th district in the street called Rue Maubert. Its reason is to commercialize children’s softwares.


It receives a allocation from the state to employ young interns. That is how I received my position which is titled sales manager. At the first time, my job title was marketing responsible, but I changed jobs.


We sell a line of products with the brand Youngsoft. We have many charges associated with marketing. Our bilboard advertising in the subway is one of the most expensive. Our PR department also has a very large budget. We create our own ads with our redaction staff, and we do our own publishing of user handbooks.


Our quarterly results for this year have been all very positive. Our market is very interesting right now, and that is why we gain funds.


We want to commercialize our products in Tahiti because we think overseas customers would be interested in buying them.

To sum up, because of our positive ethics and interesting market segment, we have a beaming future.

Thinking progressist on the Internet

A new website called Non Fiction has been opened last monday. The claim of the website could be summarized by that expression "A portal of books and ideas" . It's a website of news, ideas, and books reviews. The website has been created by researchers, journalists, activists, unionists, webmasters and entrepreneurs. This website aims to tie again with an intellectual journalism of quality, to allow to a new generation of researchers to speak. Their goal is simple but brave, they want to modernize progressists political ideas by reviewing and giving value to books of social sciences and to open the french ideas to the international.

The website is called Non fiction because of the fields dealt with : essays, documents, ideas articles... The core of the concept is based on pragmatism, and reality. They want to get rid of t he politic fiction. It's a pluralistic space anchored in the reality.

The logo epitomises the reconciliation between the Internet and the writing.

Thinking future needs a new generation of researchers, reviewers and journalists. The main way for this website to become a success is mingling excellence, exigence and transmission. As the creators say Internet is nor good nor bad, Internet is what we do with. It should become a reliable source of information, and a serious tool for the development of ideas.

This website is above all a medium, a medium who goals to become a sort of New York Review of Books on the Internet. It wishes to seriously debrief of the life of ideas, books etc.

My Mémoire (n°1)

This year we should write a memoir, a sort of essay about the media or new media. At the beginning I didn't what kind of topic I could take. But finally I have found one, which comes from the bottom of my heart. I would like to speak about Vice Magazine. Probably you don't know what's Vice mag... That's why I am going to introduce it to you, dear readers.

"Vice is a free glossy magazine founded in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and currently based in New York City that covers contemporary independent arts and youth culture. The magazine's readership comprises young postcollegiate bohemians, often labelled "hipsters" Known for its controversial content, it often strikes a sardonic and ironic pose on debauchery, sex, drugs, violence, and social issues involving race and economic class."

I quote it from Wikipedia. According to me, this topic is interesting because nobody wrote anything on Vice Mag although it's a free magazine which is beaming around the world.

Actually I would like to work on the image of the "hip" guy or the trendy/faddy guy in the press. Vice seems to have built a sort of globalized image of the hipsters.

Now I have got my early question, I am trying to create a bibliography about the fads and the hipsters... And I should meet the CEO of Vice Mag France too and some sociologists.

This Label called "My memoir" will deal with the construction of this work. Hope you'll enjoy it.
