About Marie

I founded the editorial agency Manifeste, where I support French and international clients (large industrial groups, new technology players, NGOs, think tanks, etc.) in formulating clear and convincing messages on complex or sensitive topics.

Previously, as editorial manager for leading think tanks (La Fabrique de la Cité, Institut Montaigne) and editor for the journal Le Grand Continent, I combine editorial expertise with sector-specific knowledge (sustainable cities and territories, public policy, geopolitics). This dual expertise allows me to design excellent editorial offerings for my clients.
