Amélie Company Fortifies Strategy and Research

DENVER, CO - January 23, 2007 - Amélie Company, a Denver-based advertising, public relations and marketing agency, announces the addition of Robert Reimer as Strategic Advisor and Carine Bocquet as Market Researcher/Account Coordinator.

Robert Reimer, a.k.a. "Strategy Bob"
Robert Reimer's impressive resume spans 14 years and 3 continents at such prestigious agencies as DDB (International Account Director In Paris, Director of Client Services in Hong Kong, Global Strategy Director in London) and Leo Burnett (Global Account Director in Hong Kong and Global Strategy Director in London). Reimer has been the force behind such famous brands and campaigns as IBM's PC business in Europe, Budweiser's new market launches, and Norelco communication to 18-35 year olds, just to name a few. Benoît Guin, Agency Principal, commented "I've been in the agency business for 20 years. ‘Big idea' guys of Bob's caliber are few and far between. ‘Strategy Bob', as he's known in our inner circle, will bring invaluable insights and perspective as an advisor. We're fortunate to have him working with us"

Reimer hails from Kansas, just over the Colorado state line, and earned his BA in philosophy from the University of Kansas. He is a multi-linguist who also studied at Marburg University in Germany and Sorbonne University in France. "I moved back to the States in 2006 and was ready to retire from the agency world until I met Benoit and his group at Amélie", said Reimer. "The thing that appeals to me most about this agency is that there are no big egos getting in the way of fantastic work. They function as a team, sharing ideas freely and have a great time doing it."  When he's not waxing philosophic about interior design and architecture, he's spending quality time with his wife and daughters.

Carine Bocquet, bringing French Flair to Amelie's Market Research
Carine Bocquet has 5+ years in the marketing industry and specializes in market research. Her marketing savvy comes from both sides of the aisle - client and agency. Her experience includes establishing marketing business plans through market analysis, development and maintenance of product strategy, advertising and direct marketing campaigns (brochures, mailings, website content), events and promotion. At Amélie, Bocquet will round out the account team for the French-language channel, TV5MONDE, and will manage market research projects.

"With the success of TV5MONDE, we needed another native French speaker dedicated to this account," added Guin. "Carine also has a wealth of research and strategic planning experience, particularly with regard to the buying habits and financial motivators of Generations Y and X. She will be a valuable asset to our team."

Bocquet is a French national who received a Bachelor degree from the European Business School in Lyon, France. She and her husband are avid snowboarders who take full advantage of living in the Colorado Rockies and recently welcomed a new member to their family, a Golden Retriever named ‘Tikal'. "I'm thrilled to have landed at a multi-cultural agency like Amélie Company. This is a fantastic career opportunity for me and I look forward to being a part of this growing company."
