What Synthese Et Medias does

Synthèse & Médias is a Paris-based media intelligence agency founded in 1994 that provides B2B press reviews, web and social-network monitoring, customized press syntheses, and crisis-management surveillance to large French enterprises and government ministries. The company reports that it serves approximately 20% of CAC40 companies and 45 government clients, including Ministère de la Justice, ENGIE, AXA, Havas, and Publicis, operating 365 days a year with daily delivery by 6:00 AM via its proprietary MyRDP.com platform. The service model combines human curation — described as a team of journalism-school-trained strategists familiar with client sectors — with AI-assisted crawling technology for real-time web and social listening, plus native in-house translators for French/English bilingual deliverables.

The technical stack centers on the MyRDP.com client-facing platform (accessible on any device, including offline mode) layered over automated web-crawling infrastructure and human analyst review. Commercial and customer-service teams are reachable by dedicated phone and email channels, supporting a sales-led, direct-relationship go-to-market targeting enterprise Communication and Press Relations departments. The firm is RGPD/GDPR compliant and a member of FEVEM, the French Federation of Media Watch Enterprises.

Synthèse & Médias operates as a privately held SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée) under gérant Geneviève Ludot, with no disclosed venture capital or institutional investor backing, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue or headcount. Revenue is generated through recurring subscription contracts for ongoing monitoring deliverables, plus episodic crisis-management engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and solutions are customized to client needs. The company serves primarily French institutional clients with selective international monitoring capacity via a partner network.
