Kontest wins the B2Brocks Startup contest

Last month, we went to the B2Brocks convention. This event targeted the B2B professionals and brought together several hundreds of participants at Microsoft France. For Kontest, this was the perfect occasion to attend a few conferences, meet new contacts and also to enter a Startup contest. We applied with 60 other startups and were selected among the five finalists including Clever Cloud, Fre.sc, Tilkee and Teevity. Jacinthe pitched about the startup, the evolution of the contest and promotion application and the business model for about 10 minutes in front of a jury of 4 B2B professionals. Here is a video of her presentation (in French): The jury then chose Kontest as the winner of the B2Brocks Startup contest! We were very pleased to attend this event, we want to thank all those who attended and the organizers. We would be very happy to participate to a possible second edition of B2Brocks. 🙂 Take a look at the pictures: All the pictures on the Facebook page of the event » Courtesy:...

Led by Nicolas Gaume, founder of Mimesis Republic and Fabien Baunay from Brandtainers, this workshop brings us some keys practices about the subject. The gamification or “ludification” in French, what is it? It is about the transfer of the mechanisms of games in other domains. It is part of a digital strategy as apps or Facebook Fan pages for example. The idea? Taking advantage of the predisposition of humans to play. Rather women than men moreover, who represent a important part of players. Their average age is 38, more than what we thougt. Some keys practices : Fun and subject are not connected : Growing tomatoes isn’t fun? Say it to the Farmville players, by Zynga, who are more 250 millions a month in the world to water their virtual vegetables! More social, more immersive, these games are successful, in particular thanks to the virtuosity.
