Kairos Affaires Publiques

What Kairos Affaires Publiques does

Kairos Affaires Publiques is a privately-held French public affairs consultancy founded in December 2018 by Matthieu Sassier and headquartered at 8 Rue de la Vrillière, 75001 Paris. The firm operates as a SAS (Société par actions simplifiée) with €10,000 share capital and is independent, with no disclosed external investors or parent entity. It serves organizations — companies, associations, and institutions — that need to influence public debate and navigate regulatory environments in France and the European Union.

The firm's offerings are organized around a three-step methodology: Informer (proactive monitoring and environment analysis), Conseiller (strategic advisory and positioning), and Agir (stakeholder engagement, institutional deliverables, event organization, and customized training). Seven discrete service lines are marketed under this framework, including a dispositif de veille (monitoring system), institutional reputation audits, stakeholder mapping, position papers, and event management. Underlying technology is 'not applicable' as a professional services firm; delivery is human-led by consultants with political and institutional backgrounds.

Revenue is generated through custom-priced professional services engagements sold via direct, enterprise-level client engagement. The firm maintains a content-driven blog and LinkedIn presence for top-of-funnel demand generation, while sales is executed through direct outreach, referrals, and professional networking. Markets served are France (primary) with an exploratory UK presence via an English-language site. With 1–10 employees and no disclosed revenue, the firm operates as a boutique practice in which the founder and a bench of senior consultants (many with prior roles in elected officials' offices and government agencies) are the primary capital asset.
