There’s a planner I know who has decided to come and live in your rather pleasant country sometime later this year.
Because he doesn’t know many agencies there, I was wondering if anyone on this blog knows of a company in Paris who might be open to hiring a planner – fulltime, part time or freelance.
If there is, can you please let me know so I can pass on your details.
Ta!

Comment by Rob April 4, 2008 @ 10:32 amHi Rob,
I don’t know any agency hiring planners at the moment, but are a few french agencies to watch:
FFL (Fred&Farid)- http://www.fflparis.fr/
La Chose – http://www.lachose.fr/
Leg – http://www.leg-agency.com/
Duke (my agency! – digital) http://www.duke-interactive.com/
Marcel Paris (Fred&Farid former agency!) http://www.marcelparis.com/
Nekid (Naked) – http://nekid.fr/
If your friend wants to have a few perspectives on how French approach planning, I recommend to have a read through this APG paper (http://organic-frog.com/2007/03/03/french-planning/)
I blogged about it a while ago…
Hope this help and good luck to him
Corentin
Comment by Organic frog April 4, 2008 @ 5:05 pmWish I could help. Do you know why I ended up in England? Because I couldn’t find a job in communication in Paris! (ok that was 6 years ago and I didn’t have much experience, but still). Hate those parisian snobs. I would recommend not going.
Comment by Digicynic April 4, 2008 @ 5:31 pmI have warned him.
Organic Frog:
Thanks a ton – and welcome, hope you come back though I doubt it with my racist rants 🙂
Digicynic:
For simply replying you get my gratitude, most people ignore me, be it my cat, wife, mum or employees so you’ve done alot for French/English relationships
Comment by Robert April 4, 2008 @ 7:04 pmOrganic Frog–or any others with French market knowledge–do you happen to have any pointers to the leading/most interesting French planning blogs? I’m toying with a similar move myself one day, and interested in getting a local perspective. Much appreciated!
Comment by James April 8, 2008 @ 1:17 amwhy the fuck are people wanting to go to france? women, cheese and pastries are the only acceptable answers.
Comment by andy@cynic April 8, 2008 @ 6:51 amBloody hell, someone else who wants to go to Frogland – what’s going on there, apart from the women, cheese and pastries?
Oh I know – it’s the heavily unionised country so people think they will only have to work 8 hours a day in advertising, you clever buggers!
