HOPSCOTCH NETWORK

What HOPSCOTCH NETWORK does

HOPSCOTCH NETWORK, legally HOPSCOTCH Groupe SA, is a Paris-headquartered integrated international communications group operating a network of 40 agencies across 32 countries with approximately 1,200 team members. The group delivers 360° communications services spanning Digital & Influence, Events, Public Relations & Public Affairs, Creative services, Innovation, Media, and Strategic consulting. Service delivery is organized through specialized subsidiaries covering distinct verticals and capabilities: Hopscotch Cinéma, Hopscotch Congrès, Hopscotch Event, Hopscotch Sport, Hopscotch Luxe, Hopscotch Media, Hopscotch Moments, Hopscotch Décideurs, Hopscotch Tourism, Hopscotch Season, Hopscotch System, Sagarmatha, Heaven Conseil, Human to Human, Le Public Système PR, AD Crew, Sport & Co, Sublime, THR, and Alizeum.

The underlying methodology is branded "relational capital development," a proprietary approach to building reputation and audience relationships through integrated communications. The technology stack is primarily people-and-process-driven professional services, augmented by two notable AI components: Hopscotch GEO, launched June 2025, which analyzes and manages brand reputation across AI environments, and generative-AI-produced creative assets (e.g., the Westfield 2025 fashion/beauty campaign with AI hero content and AR Mirror technology across 20+ countries). Hopscotch is GDPR-compliant and certified under French data protection law.

The business model is professional services with custom, non-publicly-disclosed pricing based on client scope and project complexity. Revenue streams include communications/PR consulting, events production (notably Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic closing ceremonies with 900M and 350M viewers respectively, Cannes Film Festival activations, Deauville American Film Festival, Kiabi 1,700-employee kick-off), digital and influence services, creative services, and media services. Distribution is direct enterprise sales through dedicated account teams, with no marketplace or self-serve channels. Customer base spans enterprise brands (Air France, Nespresso, Dom Pérignon, Westfield, Kiabi, Babolat, YouTube, Alpine) and government/institutional clients (French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Costa Rica Tourism Board, Paris 2024 organizers) across 14 sector verticals. Recent strategic moves include the SABRE European Agency of the Year recognition (May 2025), Italy expansion (June 2025), and the launch of Hopscotch GEO and VERTICAL by heaven (June 2025).
