About François

I design communication strategies and visual narratives for foundations, cultural institutions, and communities that want their message to match the scale of their mission.

What I support:

🎯 Audit & Strategy – Diagnosing communication gaps, redefining positioning, clarifying messages to key audiences

📝 Art Direction – Editorial projects (activity reports, white papers, catalogs), visual/editorial identity, photo direction

🗣️ Complete Campaigns – 360° strategy (press relations, social media, events, web)

Hybrid Profile: 6+ years in communication management (strategy, PR, events, brand projects) + documentary photographer with art history training (École du Louvre). This combination allows me to master both strategy AND aesthetics.

Typical Clients: Heritage and cultural foundations • Local authorities • Cultural institutions • Social mission organizations

Interventions: One-off audit (3-5 days) • Defined projects (4-10 weeks) • Recurring support
