After these successful launchs, M6 websites hit 15 million Unique Users (Nielsen//Netratings 10/2010).While working for such a diversified group, we helped on our spare time several other business to grow, from a local brick-and-mortar restaurant to a global music-industry player.In 2011, we decided to leave M6 Group to start a new adventure: alive ideas.The mission of Alive Ideas is right there in our name: we bring ideas to life. To achieve this mission, we seek passionate teams with fun or revolutionnary ideas, and try to help them with some of the ingredients of success: business tips and smart money. We also develop our own ideas (such as Mapado.com), gathering code-gurus and marketing genius together.
