What a 2-year! From a small team of 5 people when I arrived, interactive services grew up all across the agency so more than 20 people were directly involved on interactive projets, and much more had to be part of it too. Last time I've checked, I was involved on the winning of 77 awards and mentions in local and international awards, includind 2 shortlists in a row at Cyberlions. Clients I've been working on there include Air Canada, Rogers wireless, l'Oréal Paris, Maybelline New York, SAQ and COQC-SIDA.

I was lucky enough to take part in the building of palm's brand new interactive dept. Over the 3 years there, we've been doing hot stuff interactive material on prestigious clients such as Volkswagen, Budweiser, Tourisme Québec, Loblaw's, Johnson & Johnson and many more. During the same periode, I've been part on the winning of over 40 awards,including London International Awards's shortlist with rocskincare.ca, head to head with CP+B's famous comeclean.com website. Of course, they've won, but it was an honour to be there anyways;-)

December 2000 — January 2003 (2 years 2 months)
Mandat was to launch the Quebec version of beer.com, based on market differences and opportunities. Budget was smaller, so we had to be smarter. This was helluva fun until owners realized they were in the beer industry, not the portail industry. After being online for only a month, we were already finalist in the boomeranG, Quebec's most renowned interactive competition.
