Media release: Community Engine appoints Lonely Planet Community Manager

Catriona Pollard - Tuesday, April 19, 2011

Social business software and community engagement solutions company, Community Engine has announced the appointment of Lonely Planet Community Manager Venessa Paech as their new Community Management lead.
 
In her three years with the iconic travel brand, Ms Paech managed and grew a diverse digital ecosystem of members, contributors, fans, followers and stakeholders across an evolving platform landscape.

"I'm elated to be working with Stephen Johnson and the Community Engine team," said Ms Paech. "The most important thing about technology is how it impacts people. Community Engine understands why and how social matters, and it's a thrill to support their front lines of engagement."

In 2009 Ms Paech founded the Australian Community Managers Roundtable and she is co-organiser of the inaugural Australasian Community Management conference (SWARM 2011). A community scholar, she has published research on digital ethnography and community exiles.

Previously she was Editor of subscription creative community, Arts Hub.

Ms Paech joins the team in May, following the recent appointment of Marketing Manager Alex Mileham and Programme Manager Sam Yetzes.
