Agence 14Septembre

What Agence 14Septembre does

Agence 14Septembre is an international communications and reputation consulting agency headquartered in Paris, France, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of extreme Group following a majority-stake acquisition completed in January 2023. The agency delivers integrated communications services across seven cities (Paris, Lyon, London, Milan as owned offices, plus partner firms in New York via bde&co, Stockholm via Grand Relations, and Tokyo via TFC), targeting enterprise clients in four primary verticals: Design & Architecture, Food & Hospitality, Virtuous Initiatives (sustainability), and Events & Places. Its service portfolio spans consulting and strategy, brand content, visual design, social media, PR and influence, events, and impact measurement, delivered via project-based fees and ongoing retainer engagements. TACTIC/14SEPTEMBRE, an in-house sustainability consultancy co-founded by Romain Peton, extends the offering into environmental strategy.

The firm operates a B2B, sales-led go-to-market model with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rate cards, generating revenue exclusively through professional services. Client evidence includes Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, The Balvenie, Krug, Ligne Roset, Maison & Objet, Flos, Shigeru Ban Architects, and government tourism body ONLYLYON, with multiple relationships exceeding 10 years. In 2023 the company adopted the French Société à Mission (Mission Purpose Company) legal framework under the PACTE law, embedding environmental and social objectives into its bylaws, and in 2024 launched a redesigned visual identity, a new website, and a dedicated Canto-based media asset platform. Technology investment is limited to operational tooling; the firm does not deploy proprietary AI or software products and is fundamentally a creative professional services business with parent-group scale advantages.
