When the 9-11 catastrophes rendered his building unoccupied for seven months, Michel felt that it was also time to switch gears as the print media was drastically downsizing. In 2004, Michel founded International Event and Media Consulting a micro investment company branching into the event, video, publishing, and marketing industries. IEMC was renamed V-SN TV to focus exclusively on the Salon/spa and beauty market. V-SN TV is positioning itself as a major multi-media organization embracing cutting edge technologies.
