JIN

What JIN does

JIN is a European communications agency founded in 2012 and headquartered in Puteaux, France, specializing in digital influence and public relations. The firm operates from four offices across France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States (New York), with stated deployment capacity in over 40 countries, and serves enterprise clients seeking cross-European PR, social media, influencer, and healthcare communications programs. Its service portfolio is organized into six interconnected practice areas: Corporate & Reputation (media relations, crisis communications, e-reputation monitoring), European Deployment (multi-market PR and social campaigns), Consumer & Business (digital strategy, community management, influencer marketing, performance marketing), Health PR (HCP and patient campaigns), Leaders & Transformation (executive positioning, AI reputation, media training), and Ecosystem Strategy.

The firm operates as a project- and retainer-based professional services agency rather than a software platform, with AI positioned as a layer across its communications approach (including dedicated AI Reputation and AI training offerings) rather than as a proprietary product. JIN's go-to-market is consultative, enterprise-focused direct sales, with a named client roster that spans Pfizer, Samsung, Air Liquide, Asus, Duolingo, Tinder, Pantone, Europcar, IONITY, Bonduelle, Getty Images, and others across healthcare, technology, consumer goods, automotive, and food. The business has been largely self-funded, supported by a single disclosed €3.4M investment from CITA Investissement in 2020, and was recognized in 2026 by PRovoke Media as both Continental Europe Agency of the Year and Best European Agency To Work For. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Edouard Fillias, with Alexandre Villeneuve as Co-Founder and Chief Performance Officer and Romain Boudré as CTO and Co-Founder.
