---

Remco Janssen is the founder and managing director of a PR 2.0 & social media agency Proudly Represents which is specialized in "Corporate PR for startups, social PR for corporates". Award winning PR-consultant & social media strategist (*). I truly believe startups have an interesting story to tell, however their message is often not heard due to the fact the market is too competitive or misunderstood in the media or by consumers. Therefore I craft easy to understand and to share messages with respect for journalists and bloggers needs. I use my own, very lean, approach to design PR plans and press releases, which leads to easy to understand messages and saves valuable time and effort. I consult for high profile tech startups who are looking for investment money or rapid B2C & B2B consumer growth. Most recent success stories include: * 123people: sold to Pagesjaunes Group for approx. 12-15 million euro in 2010. Now yelster digital. Secured 100+ relevant clippings. * Scoupy: best couponing app according to iPhoneclub, Finalist Accenture Innovation Awards 2012, nominee TNW Dutch Startup Award, nominee Sprout Best Startup 2012, secured investment from stock listed companies PostNL and SanomaVentures.
