Fanny Avril
Project Manager
01.
With a background in international business law and sports management, I have led various projects and teams, founded international companies and created campaigns for several clients.
After graduating from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and working in international business law firms, my dreams of the great outdoors led me off the beaten track. As a sailor, skier and surfer, I set off, notebook under my arm and camera in hand, to explore the oceans and the mountains I was so drawn to.
I pursued a career in press relations, communications and audiovisual production for a wide range of clients, both agency and freelance. In a short space of time, I’ve built up an extensive network of contacts both in the media and within brands. I moved into senior positions in communications and production, implementing a global and coherent strategy across all channels: press, social networks, newsletters, public activations, livestream platforms and website.
I then created my own event, Sister Summit, a mouvement for equality in sport, for which I produced a film, while managing the company, the teams and the media. I teach at University in Law and Business, and I continue to provide legal consultations to clients.
I’m now consultant and project manager: from strategy, finances, legal aspect, creative identity, to realization and promotion.
