About Alexandre-Gabriel

Outsourced Digital Director: one point of contact to structure 80% of your online presence.


Stop juggling 4 or 5 service providers(a developer, a graphic designer, an SEO agency...). I structure and deliver your complete digital foundation with a coherent vision: website, content, SEO, CRM, identity.

My method:the 80/20 applied to digital
Inspired by the Pareto principle, it allows me to cover the essentials of your strategy and execution — without the cost of a full-time employee, without the dispersion of a team of agencies.

What I handle
  • 🎯 Digital strategy: 360° audit, roadmap, levers, KPIs
  • 🌐 Creation/redesign of websites and web apps: WordPress, Drupal, Prestashop, Webflow, Wix, Liferay
  • 📈 Acquisition: SEO/SEA, social media, content, emailing/CRM
  • ✍️ Production: articles, scripts, videos, visuals
  • 🎨 Brand identity: guidelines, logo, editorial tone, visual universe
  • 📊 Data-driven management: analytics, reporting, dashboards

What I bring differently
15 years at the crossroads of 4 professions: digital marketing, communication, journalism, IT project management. Dual strategic + operational level: I design AND execute. Strong editorial DNA and solid humanities background to understand an organization's challenges.

Some proof
  • 1M monthly organic visits for my first media outlet
  • 1,000 videos produced, 36M cumulative views
  • 20+ websites created and managed
  • +100% SEO traffic and +120% SEA traffic in 1 year for a client
  • Digital strategy for UFC Que Choisir Nantes, several SMEs and associations
  • Major client assignments (TotalEnergies, GRTgaz, Covéa)

Who I work for
Very Small Enterprises (VSEs), Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), freelancers, associations, and impact organizations that want a solid digital presence without hiring a full-time digital director.
I also work in higher education.
