Agency

Revolution, from latin, revolvere: the action of going back, starting over.

Under this definition, social networks are without a doubt a revolution. They close the brackets of mass communication as it has existed since the industrial era, returning man to the place of the main transmitter of a brand's message. The most powerful and unparalleled transmitter.

This revolution goes beyond the medium and fills a fundamental need: the creation of bonds between people.

This is why, even if social networks experts have been around since 2008, we decided not to limit our offer strictly to the web; but instead to bring down the frontiers that exist between 2.0 and other forms of communication.

A positioning that is definetely forward looking, but which is paradoxically, based on a millenial statement: the human is a "social animal" (Aristotle - Nicomachean Ethics)

Meet the team!

Julie: Roxane's first employee
Julie gets a shot at an internship at Publicis alongside Emmanuel. He retains a good impression of her and decides to get in touch. She is in England at the time. No problem! The interview takes place on Skype. She is shortlisted in the recruitment process which was set up by Emmanuel for the account manager position. Next, he calls on Rodolphe Lecompte, who is a head hunter, to help him make a choice between two candidates. In the end Julie is "without a doubt" the chosen candidate. A choice that he will never regret! Thanks, Rodolphe.

LeWeb 2008
At the LEWEB fair. It's cold, there's no WiFi connection and you have to fight to sustain. But that have been written 2000 times already, so were not going to bring it back up…

Geek Trip to San Francisco
After his personal road trip, he embarks on a professional trip for geeks. This trip represents a key stage in Roxane's development. A trip is organised with Brio by Philippe Jeudy, who helps French companies establish themselves in Silicon Valley. Truly an intensive programme: one week, ten French web entrepreneurs (including Carlos Diaz, Franck Perrier, Damien Douani...), 25 meetings with entrepreneurs...Emmanuel returns home with a conviction: the web has become a media of conversation and thus, influence!

Road Trip
After having worked hard, Emmanuel wants some free time to himself. He gets an idea, perhaps somewhat far fetched and maybe not that relaxing: Embark on a four-month road trip in camping car with his family (he has four children) across the United States and Canada. You said, 'In need of a break?' That's done

Aiming for Roxane's debut
Barely out of the gate at Publicis, Emmanuel de Saint-Bon kicks off a consulting job with Az pneus, the king of online tire commerce. Roxane still isn't up and running, but the project has already begun to sprout in Emmanuel's mind, by having transformed his temporary employer into Roxane's first client after its start at the end of 2008.

When the Internet makes waves
Showing of "When the Internet makes waves" (recognised as the best documentary about the history of the Internet) at ESCP. The screening was followed by a discussion with brand guests. The participants asked Gilles Babinet, who had barely recovered from the stunning sale of Musiwave (the first company to propose musical sounds versus robotic ones for telephones), which sector he thinks has a strong future. His response: "Companies' reputations".
