Description

Hello, I am Charlotte Blondet, Communication and Event Organization Consultant.

I am a specialist in private and professional events.

I conceptualize and create tailor-made events that everyone talks about: Parties, Seminars, Team-buildings, Product Launches, Brand Launches, Trips, ...

I like to "onboard" people into a turnkey project.

As an Art Director in a design agency, I have designed and created store concepts in the retail, corporate, and mass distribution sectors for international clients.

In parallel, I have accompanied more than 150 travelers through more than 50 countries by organizing all their trips: itineraries, accommodations, and tailor-made activities with the local population.

With strong empathy and great curiosity, I created and hosted "Apéros du Vendredi" (Friday Aperitifs).

The concept: "Creating connections in the virtual era" while networking with a drink in hand. Once a month, I organized themed evenings for executives aged 30 to 45 in Paris. In 4 years, I held 50 evenings and managed a network of 200 participants.

Determined and bold, I now support individuals and companies, with my creative eye, in designing, creating, communicating, and organizing their tailor-made events.

I define myself as a creator of human connections, a creator of unique moments that everyone remembers.
