14M$ revenue, 110 people We had some "eventful" post-crisis years from 2000 to 2003.After that, it took 3 years to become one of the most creative and successful digital agencies in Paris.I won my first Gold Lion there for a Dior campaign and went on to be elected best Digital ECD in France.I won a lot of luxury brand pitches, starting with YSL, then Dior, Armani and finally Cartier.I spent my last year at Publicis working on integration with Publicis Conseil (the main ATL agency within the Publicis Group) primarily on Orange, Renault, Nestlé and L’Oréal.The purpose being to collaborate on a creative level and find the best organisation to facilitate the creation of integrated work.

BlogBang was a long tail social advertising network created as a start-up within the Publicis Group.We had fun building it, it had its heyday and we ended up selling it to the Zenith Optimedia Group.

11M$ revenue, 95 people.I created this graphic design agency aged 23 during my last year at university.When I sold it to Publicis 10 years later it was a group of 80 people with various activities and locations.Digital, graphic design, product design, youth specialist team, sound design and even one of the first social influencer teams.

Région De Madrid, Espagne

3M$ revenue, 15 people.My biggest client at the time was UGC, a movie theatre network and producer who had decided to open a subsidiary in Spain.I jumped on the opportunity to open a Spanish office, rented a big flat and set up a mobile Paris/Madrid crew.I learnt Spanish and how to survive in a business when you know nothing about the local market.

5M$ revenue, 20 people .ID online was one of the first digital agencies in France.Digital marketing was mostly finance at that time…It was all about mixing a vision, UX, developers and good graphic design.Flash at its best.Good times.
