CitizenSide aims at creating the world's largest amateur and/or independent reporters community with a commercial goal, thanks to an easy to use and transparent system, and a commission rate much more important than traditional agencies.
CitizenSide was created in 2006 in Paris, France, by three founders with a common passion for information and a complementary experience to offer the best service. - Julien Robert aka "Robbie the brain" studied at Supinfo Paris, and graduated a MSc at Oxford Brookes Uni. He has created the www.citizenside.com website from A to Z, doing things we don't really understand, but whatever? It works!
- Philippe Checinski aka "Phil Goldfingers" went through different jobs in finance, marketing and financial marketing... He offers you an amazing commission deal, with only one motto in mind: "always give more and more to reporters"!
- Matthieu Stefani aka "Matt in touch" was part of the team who has launched the successful free daily newspaper Metro in France, before joining the HQ of Metro International in London. His obsession: Introduction. With CitizenSide, he aims at accelerating the information flow between people and the media, in order to give more and more trustful information to the media... faster and faster.
CitizenSide was born thanks to the alchemy of these three experiences crossed: a convergence point which leads to an easy relationship between people and media.
