OKTOPOD chosen for international press relations for the Vendée Globe 2008-09

OKTOPOD will ensure international press relations on and offline for the Vendee Globe 2008-2009 according to the proposition outlined by Liliane Fretté Communications at the SAEM Vendée.

OKTOPOD’s participation results from a desire to extend media coverage of the Vendée Globe internationally – particularly in England. Broadening beyond sport and nautical press relations, an effort will be made to reach out to ‘non-captive’ media (media outside of sailing and sport).
OKTOPOD will also bring an elevated knowledge of online press and public relations using Web 2.0.

Owing to its founder, Véronique Teurlay, OKTOPOD possesses 8 years of experience in media relations, and/or creation and production of multimedia editorial content for the teams or events within the prestigious international nautical circuit (The Race, Alinghi, Transat Jacques Vabre, Route du Rhum,…).
