Charles Daumas
B2C B2B e-marketing manager, RailEurope
I am working in the web industry since 2003 in various sectors like leisure products (alapage.com), corporate products (jm-bruneau.fr) and now international travel industry (raileurope.com.au, raileurope.co.jp, raileurope.com.br, raileurope.co.kr... ).
My experience covers the fields of traffic generation (SEM, SEO, affiliates programs, media advertising), loyalty programs (emailings with targetes marketing offers), sites merchandising, games production, websites localisation...
Rail Europe 4A, a joint venture of the French National Railways (SNCF) and the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), is the leader in European Rail distribution worldwide.
We develop and advertise B2C websites in many languages and currencies with the strong idea that localisation is now key in the internet sphere.
We are present in 25 countries in 7 languages and 11 currencies. It allows us selling train tickets all over the world.
The markets are really on different level of maturity towards train and on different cultures. This leads us to create a dedicated product where customers pay in local currency, receive their tickets before they go to Europe and appreciate local after-sales teams.
Marketing and business perspectives are exciting:
- Organization and implementation of all the SEO, SEM, affiliates strategy
- Organisation and coordination of all the marketing campaigns in collaboration with local representatives on the key markets
- Centralized organisation of all strategic marketing activities + local lead for realisation.
All the marketing activities are developped in 5 languages for 18 countries:
English, Spanish, Portuguese for Brazil, Japanese, Chinese and more to come.
