What SIGNETSENS does

SIGNETSENS (legal name SIGN&SENS) is a freelance communication consulting sole proprietorship registered in Hazebrouck, Hauts-de-France, France. Founded by Arnaud DELANOY circa 2017 after 18 years in senior communication management roles across professional organizations, banking/insurance, social housing, real estate development, the associative sector, and industry, the firm offers three core service modules: (1) communication strategy consulting (diagnostic, definition, and deployment of internal/external communication strategies and editorial content); (2) change management accompaniment using collective intelligence methods for stakeholder engagement; and (3) participatory event animation for internal and external events with journalistic preparation. The practice has no proprietary technology platform, no software product, and no AI component — service delivery is entirely human-led by the sole principal.

The business operates on a direct-to-client professional services model, with engagements acquired via website contact form, direct phone/email outreach, and the Place de la Communication professional network (where DELANOY serves as Vice-president). Named clients include local government entities (CU Dunkerque, Département du Nord, Ville de Roubaix), enterprise customers (VILOGIA, EDF Commerce Nord-Ouest), and an education/training provider (ISTC Caillé Associés), with use cases ranging from communication seminars and crisis communication training to territorial marketing campaigns. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm has no institutional funding, no subsidiaries, no patents, and no certifications; revenue is generated entirely from professional services billings and is not publicly reported. Marketing relies on a professional blog, Place de la Communication network visibility, industry event participation (Com'en Or Day in Lille), and academic teaching at Sciences Po Lille and ISEG Marketing & Communication School.
