Behind The Audiencers:
Marion Wyss, co-founder Poool & The Audiencers
Digital publishing professional since 2006, Marion started by working for pure-player press before larger national titles in France including ELLE Magazine, L’OBS and Challenges where she was Chief Digital Officer until 2017. Following this, Marion founded Underlines, a consultancy agency for digital publishers, later working more closely with Poool who acquired the company in 2021. Since then, she has taken the role of Chief Marketing Officer and associate at Poool, also lecturing on reader revenue models for publishers at various journalism schools in France and Switzerland.
Madeleine White, VP Marketing Poool & Co-founder The Audiencers
Madeleine has been part of Poool since 2019, firstly as a French to English translator before taking the role of Content Marketing Manager in 2021 where she’s developed a deep understanding of the digital publishing industry – you could say that the Poool blog was her baby that has now grown up to become The Audiencers. Guardian of the English side of the company, she co-pilots the publication alongside Marion.
P
Ugo Stephant
Given that Ugo would never write a bio himself, we can summarize by saying that nothing at Poool would exist without him. Including this media. And especially our products. In short, he’s our CTO.
Maxime Moné
The one to suggest we launch a media, Maxime is our beloved CEO at Poool, the company that he co-founded alongside Gabriel Grandidier, Alexandre Santini and Ugo (yes, the very same).
…as well as the entire Poool team that work relentlessly each day to develop strategies, intelligence and tools around audience engagement, conversion and retention.
The Audiencers friends that we’d like to thank

Quentin lectures on digital transformation in the media industry at Sciences Po (Paris) as well as taking the role of Head of Marketing and Communications at the marketing agency, Intuiti, where he manages their brand publication, Decriiipt, and podcast, Flashback.
