Our multi-faceted experience allows us to combine excellence and discipline in order to come up with original ideas and make our clients’ voices heard in the news, and put them on the social and political agenda.

Sectors

If the public thinks that you have a problem, then you have a problem.

Anonymous

Nowadays, scandals are increasingly present in the media, from stock market disputes to political and financial intrigue,. Media strategy thus becomes an integral part of the legal strategy; a success before the courts

can still be a media defeat with severe consequences. Thanks to our legal expertise, we work together with the legal teams to identify and anticipate threats and turn them into assets in the proceedings.

It takes twenty years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.

Warren Buffet

Perhaps more than in other sectors, perception plays a crucial role in finance, as consequences can be immediate and irreversible. Whether highlighting the financial health of the company, its investments, its potential,

or implementing crisis communication, we stand by our clients, companies or investment funds. We are also there to develop their networks by identifying the stakeholders and establishing privileged relationships.

If I was down to my last dollar, I would spend it on public relations.

Bill Gates

Cleantech, biotech, fintech… the startup environment is particularly rich in France. We accompany startups of all sizes from their launch to their expansion.

We design communication strategies in line with the startups’ needs, whether they are looking for a business model, for investors or for clients

If it goes without saying, then it will go even better if we say it.

Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand

What was our gateway to communications remains today a privileged domain for us. Just like companies, States are more than ever subject to the image they project.

Not unlike military power, the States must build their soft power, in this case with a national narrative and an appropriate communication.
