About Maxime

Trained in communication and art direction, I went freelance in 2012. For four years, I worked within several Lyon-based agencies (Native, Insign, Fantastic…), while also supporting numerous direct clients on projects ranging from branding to operational marketing, including digital content creation.

As a partner in the Newic agency since 2016, I am responsible for creative direction: strategic recommendations, studio management and coordination, and monitoring production quality. From 2020 onwards, I also developed a department dedicated to social media.

Since 2019, I have been teaching and serving as a jury member at Bellecour School. For two years, I have been helping Master 1 developer cohorts develop their skills in art direction and communication.

In 2026, at the initiative of its three partners, Newic merged with Peech Studio, a Paris-based agency specializing in motion design. I now hold the position of creative director for this new independent group, for which I drive the creative and artistic vision, both internally and with our clients.

Passionate about advertising concepts, typography, and illustration, I bring a solid strategic vision to projects, combined with technical and creative rigor in their execution.
