About Raphaël

🙋‍♂️ Independent press relations consultant for over 4 years and with over 15 years of experience, I am passionate about reaching, inspiring, and engaging the media in favor of the projects I work on, as well as protecting the reputation of brands and organizations.

💼 Throughout my career, I have worked for major press relations agencies such as Edelman, Hopscotch, Omnicom PR, Hill & Knowlton, and Grayling. I also held the position of Public Relations Specialist within the Communication department of IKEA France. I have worked in areas such as Tech, energy, finance, HR, retail, logistics... From startups to large corporations, I can adapt to any situation.

👂 By nature empathetic, for me, listening and collaboration are driving forces in a relationship of trust in order to propose tools, strategies, and action plans that meet the expectations of the media and journalists.

✍️ When I choose to work for a brand / communication agency, I put my enthusiasm, creativity, and rigor at its service. My independence allows me to dedicate all the necessary time and attention to the success of my press relations missions. I am also able to carry out media training and coaching missions.
