[ Welcome ] Orlane, Community Manager

Welcome Orlane, our Community Manager! Social media are no secret to her...

To learn a little more about Orlane, we asked her a few questions

Can you introduce yourself in a few lines…

My name is Orlane, I am 22 years old. Since the age of 3, I have lived in a small town called Étréchy (located in Essonne 91). I love living in the countryside, close to nature, and especially with my animals! I am a huge animal lover. I even had the opportunity to volunteer at a SPA shelter near my home for 5 years. 

Tell me a little about your background and your studies.

I didn’t find my path right away. After my ES baccalaureate, I went into a degree in applied foreign languages (English/German). I wanted to join a business school without going through preparatory classes. Loving languages, it seemed like the ideal option. But I was very quickly disillusioned because it really didn’t suit me. The only courses I was passionate about were communication and economics. So I decided to stop halfway and change my training the following year. 

So I went to Normandy, more precisely to Caen, to complete a DUT in Information Communication. I loved it right away and knew it was the field made for me. 

Following this diploma, I completed a one-year Professional License in E-Commerce and Digital Marketing to specialize in the digital field. This training was an apprenticeship, so I worked for one year at the company Bubble Plan as a Communications Officer. 

Always wanting to improve myself and specialize in digital communication, I decided to follow this year the Master 1 in Digital Marketing and Social Media at Sup De Pub Paris as an apprenticeship. 

How did you know you wanted to be a Community Manager?

During my DUT in Information-Communication, I was able to discover a wide range of communication jobs. Being a huge fan and consumer of social media, I immediately connected with the idea of working in this field. Allowing a company to develop its activity via social media is, in my opinion, very rewarding work. In addition, I really like the creative aspect of the job. You can do creative work without necessarily being a designer. 

Do you like what you do?

I love what I do! It is truly a job that motivates me and that I am passionate about every day! I fully intend to continue working in this field after my studies. 

Why did you choose to work at Meanwhile Boutique?

I chose to work at Meanwhile Boutique because I immediately connected with the concept. I wanted to find a job that made sense to me and in which I felt useful and, above all, that was in line with my values. 

And I found all that at Meanwhile Boutique! Showing that it is possible to consume better and responsibly, defending craftsmanship and preserving our natural resources are ideas that greatly appealed to me. I immediately connected with the personality of Manon and I thought it would be super enriching and fun to work alongside her.  

What is your role at Meanwhile Boutique?

My role at Meanwhile Boutique is that of Community Manager! I am responsible for the animation and creation of content for the company's social media. 

What is your favorite subject?

Being a huge fan of fashion and cosmetics, I love finding new topics to cover around these themes. Filming reels, taking photos, or even keeping up with the trends and new products in this sector are things that fascinate me. 

What is your favorite social network?

I am a huge fan of Instagram. I can get lost on it for hours. I am a fan of beautiful images and Instagram turns out to be the best social network for that! I love the platform's interface, which I find very attractive. In addition, I discover lots of new addresses, cultural outing ideas! In short, I love it! 

Which values from the Meanwhile Boutique charter are you most sensitive to?

I am very sensitive to the value of craftsmanship. I like being able to consume locally, support small local artisans. I go to markets very regularly and I love being able to discover the know-how of the artisans and producers present. The little extra that I particularly like about craftsmanship is being able to have unique and authentic products! 

What is your favorite brand on Meanwhile Boutique?

I love the Zgrouitch brand! I find the concept super original, managing to upcycle old grandma fabrics into super trendy beanies, fanny packs, pouches, and jackets, it's just great! I already gave in to a beanie/fanny pack set.

If you had one wish to make for the planet, what would it be?

I wish for the planet to feel better and no longer suffer as much as it does currently. I also wish that big industries stop thinking that the planet is an inexhaustible resource and that they understand that it is becoming urgent to change in order to take care of it. But that, maybe, is asking too much…
