Sports is a vector of visibility, transformation and engagement for brands and institution. Working with Blaise Matuidi and and his management is a step forward in understanding the power of social media and digital assets. We’ve developed a mini-series for TF1 (largest private TV & digital network in France) and special contents for an owned by the athletes platform called www.bros-stories.com. We’ve partnered with kids-oriented companies such as Hasbro/Nerf (product ambassador); Danone, Claude Bernard Watches, Electronic Arts, Editions Glénat (image ambassador). We’ve developed a streetwear clothing collection with DWN TWN Paris. Combining Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, Blaise has approximately 6M followers, placing him among the top sports influencers in France.

Innovation and digital thinking & marketing are key to business growth as they affect both sales and costs. Since 2012, when I decided to make it on my own, I’ve been blessed to meet wonderful business leaders, company officials and trendsetters. Increasing a client base; improving one’s productivity; rationalizing communication tools or implementing new ones; rethinking one’s or gazing with the use of digital and social media platforms: Carlson Wagonlits (now Havas Voyages), Arostegui Roze (now Doble A), TAAG Angola Airlines, Peugeot Citroën Automobiles, Steva Group, Canalchat Grandialogique, McDonalds France, McDonalds España, Bros. Agency, Clarisse Hieraix… Great people, great projects because metrics oriented and a constant evolution on what ROI should be. Assessing the client, helping him build his team and delivering the appropriate assets, making sure that planing and budget are always under constant control: these are my main tasks. But I’m forgetting the most important one: being creative with constraints (a budget limit can be one).
