Com En Régions

What Com En Régions does

Com En Régions is a privately held, family-owned integrated communication agency headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, with a secondary office in Paris. Founded approximately 20 years ago (the firm's own materials cite 20 years of expertise as of 2021; some firmographic data lists 2011), the company is led by founder Samuel Baruk and Director General Joseph Baruk. The firm operates through three complementary poles — L'Agence Conseil (strategy and consulting), Le Studio Presse (editorial, brand content, and media planning), and L'Agence Créative 360° (branding, digital, video, audio) — and reports a headcount of 80+ specialized collaborators across consulting, content production, copywriting, and creative direction.

The agency's core business is the resale of advertising space (regie) in prestigious French press titles including Capital, L'Obs, L'Express, Femme Actuelle, Voici, and Le Figaroscope, complemented by an exclusive web partnership with the Gault & Millau gastronomic guide. Beyond regie, it operates a full-service digital agency offering branding and brand identity development, SEO-optimized article placements on tier-one French media (Forbes France, Le Point, Le Figaro, BFM TV, Madame Figaro), website development using WordPress, Elementor, WooCommerce, and PHP, social media management across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn, and in-house video/audiovisual production including TV spots.

Com En Régions generates revenue through project-based professional services fees (digital, branding, video, web development) and advertising regie margins on press placements. The go-to-market is sales-led and field-based, with mobile commercial advisors deployed across all French regions targeting PMEs, ETIs, artisans, merchants, and liberal professions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Notable strategic moves include the 2020–2021 digital transformation, the January 2021 exclusive Gault & Millau web content partnership, and the December 2020 Voici regie win. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding.
