What Alquier Communication does

Alquier Communication is a Paris-based French communication consulting agency founded in 2013 by Jean-Christophe Alquier and Vincent Dujardin. The firm focuses on crisis communication, sensitive communication, public affairs campaigns, and opinion campaigns — categories that depend on senior practitioner judgment, stakeholder mapping, and rapid-response advisory work. Its client engagements are project-based advisory mandates rather than SaaS contracts.

The agency's most visible productized offering is Muniscope 2026, a monitoring product timed to the 2026 French municipal elections, which extends the practice beyond pure retainer work into packaged election-cycle intelligence. To support its monitoring and content capabilities, Alquier has partnered with Visibrain for content collaboration. Since March 8, 2023, the firm has operated as part of the Oasys & Cie group, gaining access to a broader communications platform while retaining its specialist brand.

The business model is professional services: fee-based advisory engagements, training, and time-bound intelligence products sold to enterprise and institutional clients. The only named client in the disclosed material is Danone Research, for which the firm delivered crisis management training. The firm is small — 2 to 10 employees with 5 visible on LinkedIn — and relies on thought-leadership publishing and referral networks rather than scaled go-to-market infrastructure. No technology platform, proprietary AI, or funding rounds are disclosed.
