By creating the Solstice agency, I gave life to a personal conviction:
communicate with emotion and sincerity.
Touching the heart before speaking to the head.

Creation of SOLSTICE!
With 25 years of experience in communication
at 360° , I founded the SOLSTICE agency in 2020 to promote
meaningful projects and organizations
and values. SOLSTICE relies on creative and qualitative editorial content.
What drives me
C'est sur le terrain du storytelling que se fait
et se fera la différence entre vous et vos concurrents.
Give meaning to your brand
Our world is changing and the transitions underway are fueling a strong quest for meaning. Innovate, resist, share, project are becoming key words.
The sharing of experiences and the authenticity of communication reassure us and help us build the future. .
​
Storytelling conveys your values through emotion to better convey the meaningof what you do and to connect with your audiences with simplicity .
What makes me unique
My experience
​
I founded the SOLSTICE agency after 25 years of experience in corporate communication (internal, external, digital, print) in management positions, whereI worked on the attractiveness of many strategic projects.
​
My writing skill
My editorial fluency is recognized both in corporate journalism and in storytelling or dialogue writing.
and scenarios.My strength is knowing how to understand the meaning of your actions
or your projects and to transcribe it as closely as possible to your identity .
My agility
I specifically wanted to create a network of independent partners to adapt to your needs and your organizational constraints. I work either in addition to your internal teams, or in project mode with other contributors (scenographer, videographer, communication manager) from my network or chosen by you.
Why call our agency SOLSTICE?
The solstice is the time of renewal.
​
Something ends. Something else begins.
And this is precisely what I experienced when creating the SOLSTICE agency.
It is also a reminder that we belong to the cycle of nature , to this perpetual movement greater than us.
​
At the winter solstice , tree sap descends to the roots and life underground quietly prepares for the return of spring. This is the time for reflection and the maturation of future projects.
At the summer solstice , the heat of the sun at its zenith explodes. It is the time of harvesting fruits and sharing.
Reflect, reinvent, regenerate and then share.
