Strategic communications consultancy.

Created in 2011 by Raymond Soubie and Julien Vaulpré, Taddeo has already worked with nearly 200 French and foreign companies and executives in the design and implementation of their communication strategies.

The firm brings together a new generation of consultants who share a common conviction: the relevance of arguments, their superiority, and their uniqueness, combined with a striking force with the media and political authorities, make it possible to win communication battles.

Taddeo has developed a methodology based on decoding the political, media, social or argumentative balance of power, and on building arguments to convince the media, public authorities and, through them, the public opinion.
