Sennegon at The Economist
» Nicolas Sennegon moved to the 8th arrondissement this summer when he accepted a role at The Economist in Paris. After a recent career in television with France 24 and CNBC, he has turned to the world of international print and is heading up the office’s commercial activities with additional responsibilities as regional sales manager for Southern Europe. He is also getting involved with the Paris-based “Internationals” group, the local organization that connects international print titles with those in multinational roles at the advertiser and agency levels. No doubt, Nicolas is putting in more than a 35 hour work week!

Luc’s Good Fortune
» Many knew Luc Samama from his Client Services role at DAVINCI Selectwork in Düsseldorf where worked with the
international Daimler-Chrysler campaigns. After 10 years on the agency side of the business, Luc is staying in the same city, but has moved to the media owner side of the business. He has a new position as Sales Manager for Germany and Austria for Fortune magazine, and he is energized by his new role. Last year, Luc, with his keen consumer observations and strong insights on industry trends, was a resource for our Internationalist “Report on Germany.” One of his quotes included: “Germany still
universally stands for quality — both at home and in a globalized world.” And speaking of quality, we have little doubt that Luc will do very well in his new career move.

Paris Pioneer
» Kayoko Norishima is truly a pioneer. The advertising executive from Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun is the company’s first woman to run a sales office in a foreign market. The company’s new Paris location — chosen for its ties to luxury advertisers — is not only a first, but Paris was chosen over London as the company office for Europe. Now that Kayoko is the Directrice du Bureau in her smart 1st arrondissement location, she is
immersing herself in French. And she’s working on furthering her English…
although she admits that is might be nice to occasionally think in Japanese. Kayoko now enjoys her lunch at the local bistro where she uses the opportunity to improve her
language skills and find some alternatives
to sushi.

Presspace Debuts
» Presspace is a new Paris-based association for those
involved with selling print advertising — either as a French media representative or an individual from a local publication group. The group’s leaders met recently to hear from Matt Findel-Hawkins, Sales Director of Nikkei Business Press and President of OPMA, the Overseas Press & Media Association in the U.K. Presspace may collaborate with their London neighbors to create similar offerings for the French market.
