Orange and Viadeo sponsor the Social Media Club France

Some heartwarming news from the French SMC Chapter just arrived: Orange renews officially its annual support to the Social Media Club France, while a new sponsorship deal has been stroke with Viadeo.

By having supported the French SMC chapter since 2008, and with several SMC active members coming from its ranks, Orange is the historic and most significant partner of the French Club. By keeping on supporting the Club, Orange positions itself as a key-player in the definition and the diffusion of best practices in the social media industry.

With more than 8.5 million members, Viadeo is a worldwide leader in the professional social networking space, as well as a pioneer (founded in 2004!). After participating to a session, Nicholas (Viadeo’s PR Director) spontaneously offered his support to the Club. As Viadeo is often seen as one of the most appealing jewels of the French / European Social Media industry crown, we were of course very proud of Nicholas’offer (and accepted it right away).

Backed by major organizations, the Social Media Club will keep on extending its action in France and Europe: events will be organized on a more regular basis, intern or part-time worker will be hired, new projects will be launched,…

Again, many thanks to Orange and Viadeo, for their trust and support. We are all very pleased to be supported by such great professionals.
