About Justine

Do you have a project, an idea, or a brand to grow? I offer you over 13 years of experience in marketing, communication, and customer experience to create strong brands and memorable experiences, with what characterizes me daily: energy, creativity, kindness, and rigor.

Originally from Champagne, my passion for wine naturally led me to work for over 13 years in the world of wines and spirits, in France and internationally. I held strategic positions in marketing, communication, and business development for major Houses in Bordeaux, Paris, and various international markets.
Today, I support companies, brands, and HCR (hotels, cafes, restaurants) establishments in their development, launch, and valorization projects.

🍾 Brand Marketing & Development

Launching a new brand, a vintage, or an innovative concept? I will guide you in defining your brand strategy and its operational deployment:

Brand positioning and platform

Brand storytelling and identity

Communication strategy and activation plans

Development and market entry in France

Strategic and operational support to accelerate your growth

🌿 Menu Development Consulting For HCR

Looking to enhance your attractiveness and create a memorable customer experience?

I can help you by proposing quality wines, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages?

✨ Event Planning & Brand Experiences

Need to organize a product launch, a trade show, a seminar, or a team-building event? I design and facilitate tailor-made experiences.

My approach combines strategic vision, operational excellence, and a passion for the world of wine, hospitality, and brand experiences.
