The Social Republic

What The Social Republic does

The Social Republic is a Paris-based B2B social media consulting and training agency operating as a subsidiary of the We Are Together group, described as the first independent French group in corporate and HR communication. Founded circa 2011 (12 years of stated Social Media expertise), the company positions itself as a "100% pure player" social media agency serving large enterprises across sectors such as construction, food/confectionery, childcare, heating/air conditioning, and retail/fashion. Its service portfolio is organized around five pillars: Social Media Consulting & Strategy (editorial planning, e-reputation, social listening, benchmarking), Employee and Leader Advocacy (ambassador program design and animation), Social Content Production (graphic design, motion design, video, podcasts, photography), Community Management (posting, moderation, editorial calendar), and Social Activation (Social Ads, Social Selling, influence). It operates no self-service SaaS platform or API; all offerings are delivered as professional services by a team of approximately 35 experts based in Paris.

The agency's go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct engagement, supported by thought leadership content (business cases, newsletter, organic social presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter). Revenue is generated through two professional services streams: project-based social media consulting (strategy, community management, employee advocacy deployment) and training services delivered through The Social Republic Academy, an accredited French training organization (organisme agréé de formation) offering catalogue workshops, bespoke programs, and coaching sessions on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Social Ads, Social Selling, Personal Branding, and AI applications. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company reports 80+ active clients and has demonstrated long-tenure engagements (5+ years with VINCI Construction; 3+ years scaling Groupe Atlantic's ambassador program from 20 to 150 ambassadors), indicating a retention-led rather than volume-led revenue model. The legal entity behind the brand is My RH Community SAS (Société par actions simplifiée), headquartered at 19 rue Saint-Georges, 75009 Paris, with €5,000 registered capital.
