At first, I thought that the organiser of the Okean Elzy 's concert at the Olympia Hall - Paris needed help to translate some documents into French. But when I understood that I'd have to coordinate and manage the communication plan with French mass media... I couldn't believe it. What a challenge!
I worked hard for weeks on this and, once the event was over, I asked myself the following question: "What do I do now?" :)) In the end, I understood that I had no choice but to move ahead:
Regular postings on the internet is the key of a successful communication with French media and general public. This concert at the Olympia Hall could be the 1st step of a global communication plan to move forward.
I'm always happy to promote Ukrainian Culture and to relay information about charitable actions to support
Ukrainianson Twitter or Google+. It's probably only a drop in the bucket, but...
I love that job. :) I can speak/write about
Okean Elzy and/or Ukraine for hours! With Okean Elzy France, I have a
great opportunity to share my passions. It would be foolish at this point to stop!
I believe that you must take every chance you get in life because, most of the time, they happen only once. I couldn't let this chance slip through my fingers...
Paul Eluard (one of my favourite authors) said, and I believe he is right, “There is no such thing as chance, only encounters”. Generosity, warmth, friendship, enthusiasm, passion, energy... That's what I've found thanks to O.E. music and to my Ukrainian friends.
I feel the need toshare what I have received from others... and that's what I'm doing when I'm posting for Okean Elzy France. What a blessing! Happiness is only real when shared. :)
Many of you asked for more information about the 1st Forum of French-Ukrainian Associations that took place in Paris in the end of January... Finally, here are some pictures & videos of this event!
It was an incredible day and a great experience. Within a few hours, more than 100 people visited Okean Elzy France's stand! I've talked the whole day about Okean Elzy's music and about my passion for Ukrainian culture... Honestly, I never expected that I would be so warmly received! :)
Visitors enjoyed listening to the performances of the "Ukrainian choir of St.Volodymyr":
And I had the pleasure to meet Mebo Nutsubidze (also known as Mebo Renard), a Georgian singer who lives in Paris and who was semifinalist of the reality singing competition "The Voice Ukraine" in 2015...
As you may know, I will attend to the 1st Forum of French-Ukrainian Associations that will take place in Paris on Saturday.
To me, this day is special because, for the 1st time, I'll have the opportunity to talk face-to-face and for hours about Okean Elzy's music. :) And even if it is also a quite challenging event (there was a lot to do), I'm sure this will be a great experience!
On top of meeting Okean Elzy fans and my Ukrainian friends, I'll will for sure create new contacts. It's an opportunity that I must seize!
I don't want to tell you that much about what I prepared for this meeting... but here are a few items that I can share with you today!
- First of all, I had to improve the design of the Okean Elzy France's logo. This picture will be published in a booklet which will list all the French-Ukrainian Associations existing in France.
- In addition, promotional, informational materials and different presents will be distributed... But this is a surprise action of my "communication campaign"that I won't tell you about yet! :))
More information to follow soon... In the meantime, I look forward to meeting you in Paris on Saturday.
"Rendez-vous à Paris !"
PS - Believe it or not, but in French a "Rendez-Vous" is generally understood as a business appointment. :) Anyway, on Saturday we will speak about my first love stories which are music, poetry & Ukraine... All of that is about passion!
Dear friends & readers, as the New Year approaches us with hopes new, I'm wishing you and your family a wonderful year ahead.
I take this opportunity to share with you theOkean Elzy greetings card that I created for our favorite rock band's official communication in French. :)
As you probably know, since March 2015 I’m in charge of Okean Elzy’s official communication in French. Thanks to this extraordinary and important experience, I’m since then in contact with some institutional stakeholders and with many French-Ukrainian independent associations.

Cultural associations: Literature, music, creation, art…
