Narrative Strategy Message & Content
Focused sessions to kick-start or unblock communications for your innovative project before you invest: get strategic direction and a clear roadmap.
Are you about to launch a major communication project, perhaps on a scientific, technical, or particularly complex subject? Are you considering significant investments in time and budget, whether with an agency, in-house, or for a specific campaign?
Let's take the time to think it through.
Drawing on my dual expertise as a high-level Civil Engineer and a Film Director, I analyze the complexity of your subject to help you define a clear message and a relevant communication strategy. My role is to provide an external, independent perspective to validate your direction and secure your choices BEFORE you commit to significant (and often public) expenses.
Who is this service for?
- For innovators, researchers, engineers, and leaders—and any individual or team preparing to communicate on high-value yet often complex subjects.
- For experts who feel isolated on a project that blends technical and creative challenges, lacking a partner who can navigate both worlds.
- For professionals who fear heading in the wrong direction when choosing a provider (agency? producer? freelancer?), writing a brief, or selecting distribution channels.
- For project leaders who want to identify the key elements to communicate their vision internally or win over investors.
Your Concrete Outcomes
- An expert partner who understands both the technical constraints of your subject and the creative demands of its communication.
- A clarified vision of the key steps to follow, the stakeholders to contact, and the timeline for decisions.
- Strong, tangible arguments, both technical and artistic, to align employees, partners, and funders on a common vision.
- An actionable roadmap that clearly defines the core message, the strategic direction, and the next viable step.

A Two-Step Process
My approach is structured around two sessions, held a few days apart:
1. Immersion & Diagnosis (2h)
We dive into the heart of your project, your challenges, your ambitions, and your constraints. Through active listening and targeted questions, we identify the fundamental issues that will determine the success of your communication.
2. Debrief & Action Plan (1.5h)
After my analysis, I provide my expert blueprint: one or two clear paths for your message, with a full breakdown of their impact on content, budget, and stakeholder management.
Your Deliverable: A Strategic Roadmap
Following our sessions, you'll receive a summary document (PDF) that is fully yours to use with any partner you choose.
