About Stephanie

I am a Senior Strategic Planner with over 12 years of experience in Europe and Asia.

I support brands and marketing teams in key moments: repositioning, territory clarification, launch, brand platform structuring, or strategic framing before a campaign.

My role is simple: to help brands make clear choices.
Understand the cultural tensions that surround them.
Identify what is truly differentiating.
Transform complex issues into actionable strategic directions.

I work on:
– Brand strategy & positioning
– Brand platform & storytelling
– Strategic planning & creative strategy
– Consumer insights & cultural analysis
– Strategic framing before creative brief

I have worked with international groups and brands in transformation in the hospitality, beauty, FMCG, tech, automotive & fintech sectors.

I collaborate with:
– Brands that need to clarify their direction
– Marketing teams undergoing repositioning
– Agencies seeking senior strategic support

My conviction: a brand is not built by chasing buzz, but by deeply understanding the people it wants to reach.

Available for one-off assignments or longer-term support, in France and internationally.
