CABINET PRIVE DE CONSEILS

What CABINET PRIVE DE CONSEILS does

Cabinet Privé de Conseils s.a. (operating as CPC-PR) is an independent, Geneva-headquartered public relations and strategic communications consultancy established in 2004, with a secondary office in Bern. The firm offers an integrated portfolio of 15 service modules organized around four pillars: reputation intelligence (media monitoring, image audits, ecosystem mapping, online surveillance via AI tools from sister company Geneva Intelligence), strategic communications (communication planning, corporate positioning, spokesperson coaching and personal branding), crisis and sensitive communications (anticipation, 24/7 crisis management, reputation rebuilding, multi-jurisdictional litigation communication), and stakeholder relations (media relations, public affairs, financial communication, internal communication). Its core technology stack is not proprietary to CPC itself; AI-powered media and ecosystem analysis is delivered through Geneva Intelligence, a sister company that provides the analytical backbone for ecosystem mapping and continuous monitoring.

CPC serves multinationals and large enterprises, executives and public figures, startups and growth companies, family businesses and financial groups, and public institutions and foundations across DACH and EMEA. Named clients include Moderna (EMEA communications), Caran d'Ache (long-term retainer), and easyJet (Swiss market). The firm positions itself as a senior, owner-operated boutique competing on quality and discretion rather than scale, with international reach delivered via memberships in PRGN, CLC Alliance, and ICCO, plus UNPD supplier certification for multilateral mandates.

The business model is professional services consulting: project-based engagements and retainer partnerships priced custom to scope, delivered directly through consultant teams. The GTM motion is enterprise field sales with a relationship-driven funnel supported by LinkedIn, the firm's website, and international network referrals. The firm is privately held as a Swiss Société Anonyme with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding history.
