Jérôme Mercier, c'est l'histoire d'un ingénieur qui a toujours considéré qu'il était important de disposer d'une double compétence : après un début de carrière dans l'ingénierie, il co-fonde Kelkoo en 1999 qu'il revend en 2004 avant d'occuper des postes de Direction Marketing pour IBM, Yahoo ou Photobox, devenir dirigeant d'entreprise et notamment le CEO de la fameuse plateforme Campings.com. Dans cet épisode, Jérôme revient sur son parcours, sa vision de l'entrepreneuriat et du développement d'entreprise, de comment il a fait pour vendre une première société, gérer des équipes... on compare les entrepreneurs "early" ou "late stage". On parle également de croissance organique et de croissance externe, de positionnement sur les marchés, d'investissement, de fusion entre deux équipes ou marques : une grande valeur pour qui souhaite monter des partenariats, acheter une société...

Aujourd'hui, pour inaugurer la série “Startup Bootstrap” du People First Podcast, nous embarquons dans un épisode sur les 10 leviers RH à structurer pour lancer sa startup avec Calixte Bonnet Saint-Georges, associé chez Avizio, les services RH à temps partagé. Après des débuts en tant que développeur, Calixte est rapidement passé dans les RH avec 20 années d'expérience en tant que Head of People ou Chief People Officer dans des groupes tels que L'Oréal, Elis, Photobox ou encore Tripadvisor, avant de basculer côté startups. En 2021, il rejoint Avizio in Residence à l'initiative de son associé Henri de Lorgeril. Avizio propose des experts RH à temps partagé aux startups pour les aider à se structurer (notamment en Talent Acquisition, RH ou structuration des équipes Sales). Nous profitons de l'expérience de Calixte pour aborder les 10 sujets à maîtriser sur le bout des doigts pour lancer sa boîte: ⭐ Être au clair sur ses objectifs en tant que founder ⭐ Créer de la documentation et anticiper sur le knowledge management ⭐ Définir rôles et responsabilités et les transcrire dans un organigramme clair ⭐ Structurer d'emblée la partie RH ⭐ Définir les attentes vis-à-vis des managers ⭐ Écouter les salariés ⭐ Développer les managers ⭐ Accompagner les équipes dans leur développement et les former ⭐ Établir des guidelines claires sur les salaires ⭐ Et enfin: ne pas radiner! Cet épisode vous apprendra toutes les bases de ce qu'il faut maîtriser pour lancer sa boîte et vous donne des pistes pour en implémenter les premières briques. En prime, vous aurez l'occasion de vous enchanter comme moi de l'utilisation d'expressions délicieuses, telles que “mollo, l'asticot” ou encore “les capteurs et les cafteurs” ! Bonne écoute !

Podcastarama : Avis des auditeurs :⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Avis de la presse :⭐⭐⭐⭐   Souvent, on aime être dans une zone de confort ou on aime en sortir. Concernant Thomas c'est très surprenant car son chemin de vie professionnelle l'a transformé de ce point de vue là. Lui qui, en début de carrière, avait plutôt le goût des zones de confort il préfère aujourd'hui se sentir un peu bousculé. Pendant ses études il ne sait pas ce qu'il veut faire, alors il fait des choix qui lui ferment le moins de portes possible et il part sur des études d'ingénieur plutôt généralistes.  A la fin de ses études, il ne sait toujours pas exactement ce qu'il veut faire. Il prend un peu par hasard un poste chez LG et ça lui plait bien. Il est en zone de confort et sans quelques évènements externes, il pourrait encore y être me glisse-t-il.  Photobox est un tournant fort ; il y prend un poste d'engineering manager et le départ de son manager l'amène à prendre le poste d'Engineering Director. Un poste où il est en position de mettre la technique au service du business. C'est un peu le fil rouge de ses expériences : accompagner les entreprises dans leur métier et leur transformation au travers de la tech.  C'est ainsi qu'il accompagnera la transformation numérique du Parisien. La presse passe du papier au numérique progressivement et il accompagne cette transformation au travers de grands projets de refonte Web et CMS. Chez La Centrale, le pivot du papier vers le Web est déjà fait depuis quelques années, mais il doit accompagner de nouveaux enjeux business : le changement du marché avec l'arrivée en force des voitures électriques, l'arrivée de l'IA et de la Data qui ont et vont avoir un grand rôle à jouer dans leur business.  Vous découvrirez dans cet épisode un CTO qui est passé du monde du spectacle à l'IT.

Ever needed a service that didn't exist? Back in 2000, Graham Hobson had just bought a digital camera and was bored of trekking back and forth to Boots with the copious pictures he took of his children… so he founded Photobox: A photo printing service that was the first of its kind and became a category leader in the UK market.  In this episode, Graham shares with Alex and Joe how he founded a multi-million pound company despite having zero aspirations to run his own business. He also divulges the low points of the first few years and how that affected his home life, and the unexpected reason why they bought MoonPig for £120 million.  He also shares why he wants to pay more tax, why it's difficult to pitch ideas in today's economy, and how he is supporting startups in this phase of his career.

Die Sängerin und Burlesquekünstlerin ist der atemberaubende Paradiesvogel der Showszene. Rosa Mähne in weichen Wasserwellen und Fifties-Makeup treffen auf selbstbewusste Tattoos, frivol-elegante Outfits schmücken einen starken, rebellischen Geist. Ihre Performance ist sexy und ihre rockige Stimme verführt zum Tanzen. An Halloween stellt Belle la Donna im Hamburger Pulverfass Cabaret an der Reeperbahn nicht nur ihre neue Liveshow „Pink Rebel House“ vor, sie präsentiert auch ihre erste Single „Stolen Heart“ und weitere Songs vom neuen Album, das in 2023 erscheint. „Es wird aufregend, sexy und kreativ-bunt mit einer Prise coolem Vintage samt glamourösem Horror. Ich bin schon so aufgeregt, meine Show nach monatelanger Vorbereitung zusammen mit meiner Pink Army, der Live-Band und dem Team von Tänzern vorzustellen. Und ich kann es kaum erwarten, meine Single live vor Publikum zu performen, das wird magisch“, freut sich Belle la Donna. Diesen besonderen Moment lassen sich auch viele prominente Wegbegleiter nicht entgehen und stehen der Künstlerin mit Performances zur Seite. So schmückt die Show das legendäre Burlesque- und Zirkus-Trio „The Velvet Creepers“ als Conferenciers und Gast-Act, ebenso auf der Bühne die Burlesque Performerinnen Tronicat la Miez und Setty Mois. Nach der Show können die Gäste bei Beats von der Hamburger Kult-DJane Schwester Polyester tanzen oder sich spontan ein Tattoo von Bubblegum Art verpassen lassen. Walking Acts und eine Absinth Bar entführen die Gäste in eine andere Welt. Besonders gefragt wird ganz sicher die Photobox sein, denn der Dresscode für die Gäste lautet „pink Halloween“. Mit dem Feiertag an Halloween bleibt zum Glück viel Zeit, um sich auf einen langen und pinken Abend vorzubereiten.

In episode 122 of the Customers Who Click podcast I spoke with Rachel Spedding, the Head of Copy at Photobox, one of the UKs biggest online photo printing companies. In this episode we explored how brands can speak to different audiences, even in different languages, while still maintaining that same tone of voice and brand consistency. It's pretty rare to find a photo company who are charging full price, so we need a point of difference. Differentiation is key, especially in highly competitive markets, and while you may have to introduce discounts to keep your pricing at a similar level to competitors, its essential to have those points of differentiation that convince customers youre the better service for them, and keep them coming back.

Wake yourself up and reassure yourself that you’re not just here to go through the motions. You’re here for a purpose! If you keep doing things the same way you always have, you will easily find things to be meaningless or even depressing. To feed your creativity, you have to step out and try new things. Don’t be afraid of new experiences. Don’t live your life with regrets. Push your comfort zone and try new things. A better version of yourself starts at the edge of your comfort zone. Be coachable To be coachable means to lack arrogance and defensiveness and you check your pride and ego at the door. It means you don’t judge your coaches approach but try and adapt to it. When you allow someone to coach you, you allow that person to contribute to the situation, problem or decisions you need to face. It means you allow their point of view to shape the choices you make and actions you take. The best professionals at all levels require coaching to improve and they know it.

Therefore, we often don’t value the precious benefits of slow growth. We now expect that nearly everything should happen fast and with little or no inconvenience that we forget that slow, imperfect progress is better than none at all. Slow growth can be confusing and frustrating, but, at the end, growth is always good - no matter how slow you progress. Resiliency is key for startups Entrepreneurship is obviously challenging. To be successful in building your business, you must be resilient. Building a business, managing employees, expanding customer or client bases, developing products and services – these are all the types of responsibilities that can eat away at a founder’s mental and emotional fortitude. Don’t let the threat of failure stop you; instead, be motivated to find solutions and advance toward your goal. It’s much more important for entrepreneurs to be able to tough it out. Take pleasure from things that go as planned, enjoy the new experiences and remember to celebrate achievements and progress.

But we thought it would be fun to bring them together and have a Q&A with them, side by side. So that’s just what we did. Because you normally only hear the side of the story from the founder who sold their company. You rarely, if ever, hear the story from the founder who bought the company being sold. In this case the wildly successful personalised e-card company, Moonpig.com, that sold for £120m to photo printing giants, Photobox in 2011, which then itself went onto sell for a reported £400m+.You’re in for a treat today - you get to hear from both sides - the good, the bad and the ugly of what happens during a M&A. That and you get a bucket load of advice from two Angel investors who between them have sunk a lot of money into the next generation of start ups. So grab a cuppa and sit down to hear not one, but two entrepreneurial powerhouses talk about how they started and how they became millionaires.

Today’s guest is Iain Martin, former Managing Director of Moonpig and the recently announced, new CEO of Mahabis. I was introduced to Iain by a client who thought we’d really get on and he was completely right. Iain’s a great guy and was kind enough to come and talk at one of our recent JBM Ambassador networking events which is where this interview was recorded. Now, Most of you will have used Moonpig at some point in your life but for those who haven’t heard of them, Moonpig are the UK’s largest online card retailer with over 15 million cards sent through their online platform in 2017 alone. Iain was one of the early members of the Moonpig team and during his time as Managing Director, he grew the business from a team of just 8 people to a team of over 160, turning over £60m a year. This phenomenal growth led to Moonpig being acquired by Photobox for £120m in 2011. Iain’s story of how he became the MD of Moonpig and his take on what’s important when growing a tech business were fascinating and he shares so many great insights during this conversation. Including how they came up with the Moonpig jingle! Those who were there on the night really benefited from his insights and advice, and I hope that you will to.

Tips on how to improve your email strategy and customer response with Kate Barrett The trend is about being customer-centric, understanding what your customers' needs are, respecting that, and then delivering on it. In my view, I think you should have a repliable email address and I think that somebody should be monitoring that or at the very least if you had some kind of automated response that directed them to how they can get further help. When you get really engaged with people when you can encourage their engagement through communications that really makes sense to them, that's where you see the best results. Because somebody unsubscribes, it just means that they don't necessarily want to receive emails from you at this time. I think bad advice would be anyone who tells you not to focus on email and just to focus on social media or any channels like that One of the things that I talk about in my book is understanding where you are. It's the very first chapter. It's knowing what you've got in your business already before you move on to optimizing and then adding to it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR EMAIL STRATEGY AND CUSTOMER RESPONSE [just click to tweet] HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR EMAIL STRATEGY AND CUSTOMER RESPONSE It's about being customer-centric, understanding what your customers' needs are and then delivering on it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Doug: Well, welcome back listeners to another episode of Real Marketing Real Fast.

Her expertise and passion has helped a very large range of companies develop their comprehensive strategies to target subscribers with the right message sent to the right person at the right time and she helps them with all the implementation optimization of those campaigns. Doug: Some of the companies that Kate has worked with, just to give you an idea of brand and perspective are Nissan, Marks $ Spencer, Argos, Vision Direct, Soletrader, Photobox, My Voucher Coupons, Adidas. She's worked with a number of large brands as well as a number of new companies that are just moving into the email marketing to help them grow their business up. She's walked in the shoes of everybody from every kind of a startup to large companies, she has been elected as a member of the DMA Email Marketing Council for the last three years, and she regularly speaks around the world.

Today's episode is a little different and I'm really excited to be sharing it with you. Instead of my normal interviews where I'm the one asking the questions, today's interview is taken from an event I attended last month, hosted by my good friend James Mitra at JBM Consulting. For those of you that don't know, JBM are an executive search firm that place top talent into high growth tech firms, fintechs and consultancies. They are also the talent partners to the Fintech focused Private equity firm Motive Partners which is where this event was held. When James told me who the speaker was going to be I said that we had to record it for the podcast and it certainly didn't disappoint. I'm a big believer that you can, and should, learn from the best. Regardless of their field. As you'll hear in today's interview, there are so many fantastic insights that are equally applicable to Consulting firms, and their clients, as there are to this guest's specific industry. For those of you listening to this outside of the UK, or for those of you in the UK who may have been living under a rock for the last 10 years, Moonpig are the UK's largest online card retailer with over 15 million cards sent through their online platform in 2017 alone. Iain was one of the early members of the Moonpig team and over his time as MD grew the business from a team of just 8 people, turning over £2,000,000 in to a team of over 160 turning over £60m a year. This phenomenal growth ultimately led to Moonpig being acquired by Photobox for £120m in 2011 James and Iain cover some really interesting topics in their conversation and the questions that follow including: Iain's journey to becoming the MD of Moonpig and the unorthodox approach he took to get there. The importance of using data when it comes to Marketing and how this helped Moonpig achieve it's rapid growth. How Iain and the team ensured they hired the best talent for the business and their unconventional approach for rewarding their team. The sale to Photobox and the steps they took from deciding to sell through to integrating the business with their new owners And the one I know many of you will want to know. How they decided on the name Moonpig and where the jingle came. It was great to meet Iain and I really enjoyed hearing his story and advice for those looking to grow their business as successfully as he did.

In this episode you will learn; Why he started Photobox, and what it was like running a startup over the dotcom boom and bust, within the first year of it’s inception. The complexity of their raising funds, from trying and failing; from growing fast to scaling all the way back, what that felt like for them at the time. The process of buying and selling companies as a means to grow How to manage culture when absorbing other companies What it’s like starting as CEO, then hiring someone to replace you, and becoming CTO. And lots more of course... Key Quotes I don’t see myself as an Entrepreneur because to me, they feel more like the types that do it repeatedly, and perhaps I just got lucky. I’m one startup away from feeling like I’ve earned that title You dont manage one football club and get called a ‘football manager’ so to me the same is true about an entrepreneur. Top Advice: Sit back, assess a situation, and decide what to do next, instead of making a knee jerk reaction. Figure out why you want to be an entrepreneur - do you have a problem to solve, or do you want to be your own boss, if it’s the latter, don’t go sit in WeWork - get a normal job, build up your experience and contacts, and be patient until a real problem comes up that you need to solve.

#9 - Symmetry, Schools & Fools   Symmetry in sculpting appliances Whilst teaching a class recently, a student was hung up on getting the nose perfectly symmetrical. I explained as I often do that the human face isn't symmetrical, so going for complete mirror image reflection necessary. That said, asymmetry owing to sloppy work isn't good either - the fact that there is little perfect symmetry in nature doesn't let you off the hook! I remember at college sculpting a full size head and a full size figure from life and using a plumb line - basically a piece of string with a lead weight on the end to keep a straight line. That helps you keep on target with the centre line, and you can use callipers to measure and plot common points to sketch out boundaries like where the eye corners start and finish, where the mouth is in relation to the nose etc. This sounds like a video to be honest - again comment, write and let us know what you think.  stuartandtodd@gmail.com …also check out our facebook page!   Folio Whilst at UMAE last week, I got to speaking with a lot of people starting out who wanted me to take a look at their folios. I like to talk people through what I see, and I know that when I was starting out that I really appreciated good advice from people that took the time to look through my stuff. Shows like this are good but they can be intense, with groups of people all descending at once when they notice a folio show. There were some good pieces and I will be straight with people regarding the work, and although there are many approaches to folio layout, there are a few solid consistent aspects to a folio that I think remain regardless. Good clear and large images With digital cameras, there's little excuse for blurry or badly exposed images. If images are taken on set where there is low level light, it's fair enough that on occasion the pics would be less than perfect, but if you are responsible for building something, there is plenty of opportunity to take good clear images. Opt for professional prints - online print developers like Snapfish and Photobox for example will send you great 10x8's (A4 ish) sized photos. You may have a great printer but often this works out more expensive than buying prints, and they rarely weather well over time. Not too many and not too long Viewer fatigue is not the intended result of an extensive folio, but I think it's fair to say that after a while, your brain can't take in new things with equal enthusiasm. If you have extensively documented the manufacture process of something, you need to edit that down to a few choice images unless there is a specific reason to dwell on that aspect. It may be worth keeping your main 'general' folio streamlined with a few selected images from each project, and then keep to hand additional more in-depth folios which drill deeper into things should that be necessary. Easy to handle If a folio keeps dropping leaves or sheets slide around or can't fold over easy then it becomes a bit of a chore to handle. Make sure you handle a folio and turn the pages yourself before committing to buy. If it annoys you to handle, then chances are it will annoy others too. It's a tragedy for your good work to not be noticed as the viewer is tasked with wrangling the sleeves or relocating misaligned punched holes.   UMAE 2016 The UMAe stand for United Makeup Artists expo. It is a smaller UK trade show, but perfectly formed. I had a great time but it was exhausting. There were loads of demos going on all day, and this year I had my own stand, spoke to a lot of people, did a demo makeup and a presentation on the stage for blood rig effects. I wanted to do a thing on blood rigs as I have done quite a few for shows over the years, and plenty on gags for Game of Thrones, and NDA's stop me from showing anyone how I actually do them, so I decided to do a demo of my own so I could show the process from start to finish without showing anything from the show.  I had a couple of cool people helping me out too - Alice Pinney and Jess Heath who applied loads of pieces I made, so thanks for the help guys. You worked hard! Also thanks to Leanne Hicks who helped me out loads as well as patiently modelling for my makeup demo, a creepy kind of stern looking businesswoman was the idea, but it kind of ended up looking like an evil politician. I called her Angular Merkel, but we settled on The Wicked Which of the Westminster. I'll do this as a blog post if anyone is interested - please get in touch and leave comments under this blog post or podcast Show was nice feel to it - you can actually go up to the people and speak to them. There isn't a stadium sized crowd to navigate so it's not a huge task to speak to the people you want to talk to.  Nor are there tanning booths, teeth whitening or champagne and strawberry bars. Said hey to Richard Redlefsen, and I gave him a few sculpting tools I had made which was a nice touch - I made a bunch of tools for a makeup school called The Iver based at Pinewood for which I did a class at the week before.  I knew he would be at the show so I made a few extra, and I got a kick out of giving them to him - nice guy and very talented makeup artist. He did a Phantom of the Opera makeup, and it was pretty cool. Also Dan Gilbert was demoing for PPI, and I needed some PAX. He dashed up to his room to grab me some which he had, which I thought was rather dashing of him so thank you for that Dan. True gent!   Makeup School Observations There are some things I noticed about work I saw from makeup schools, and I think it needs bringing up. Essentially, I saw work from someone who had travelled to LA from the UK to attend a makeup school for some months. There were pictures of work in there which seemed both extensive in size but poor in quality. Now I know students are by definition learning, and there is going to be mixed ability but there seems to be an irresponsible approach when allowing large scale sculpting to take place when there are some fundamental areas which need addressing. Makeup schools are a business so it's only right they charge for their service, but I have heard and seen many examples of people who travelled far and spent a lot and when you see what they have taken away from it then you wonder if it is a fair exchange. As with any business, there are some sharp practitioners and some outstanding examples. I think it would be a good idea to run this checklist over when considering a makeup school. Check who the tutors are Look at previous students work Speak to previous students Is there a screening process or do they take anyone who can pay?   Faceoff I've met a few of the contestants from the show, and to be honest they seem pretty cool - they need to have ability and character to get selected for sure. Hoever, the show is largely concerned with ratings (it's a TV show after all) and less concerned with processes which is what I care about.  We riff a little about the effects of the show, and how annoying it is that people whose only exposure to the industry is watching a few episodes feel qualified to comment on what we may be doing wrong.  "It didn't look that hard on Faceoff..."!   Face casting disasters We’ve all heard of the anecdotal face casts that went hideously wrong – the result of phenomenally terrible practice on the part of people doing it. Things like using bare plaster all over the face, bears and eyebrows becoming stuck or undercuts locking heads – it’s common sense mostly but that is not as common as you’d imagine. Anyhow, check out these howlers, and if you know of any outrageous lfecasting videos which are not here, please do get in touch and send us a link so we can share it!  Let’s show everyone how NOT to do it! https://vimeo.com/21710023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVUHlDou6cQ&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09rUbu33Z1E http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=077_1462827743 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/6311398/Schoolgirl-16-lost-eight-fingers-in-plaster-of-Paris-accident-during-art-lesson.html   Incidentally, this video collaboration I did with Klaire de Lys shows a way to lifecast safely without taking insane risks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NyF5bKlkT0 Stay creative!
