We establish a relationship of trust between our clients and relevant media (printed or online press, both generalist or trade,, radio and TV). These connections are also leveraged both in and outside of France, particularly with the wider European media. We provide monitoring tools designed to measure and evaluate the impact of our different PR actions and prepare regular reports which give our clients a complete and up-to-date view of their image on a national, regional or even international level.
We partner with our clients in order to access the circles and policy makers that they wish to reach in order to make their key messages heard.
We choose the most relevant digital tools and create, with our clients, the most effective means by which to convey their message, but also to plan and resolve potential crises.
Blogs, website, events, sponsorship deals, written documents (reports, books, articles): we act to help to define the best strategy in these areas and choose the best service provider when certain needs have to be outsourced.
Social issues, restructurings, strategic operation, changes in management: we have all the necessary experience to accompany our clients in these critical situations in order to limit potential reputational damage, and even turn complex scenarios to their advantage. We actively and constantly strive to preserve our clients’ reputation.
We define the broad messages of internal communications which occur alongside the transformational phases of businesses. We also carry out audits of the communication function.
