Answer: Who are the best French speaking email marketing consultants?

I asked this question on LinkedIn to some of my contacts. 7 answers were posted directly on LinkedIn and two others came to me through other channels.

Thanks to all those who took time to answer me, in no particular order:
Gaëlle Guillocheau (Dolist), Hervé Bloch (Digilinx), Sylvie de Meeûs (Amaranthe), Maxence Cupper (EmailR), Alexandre Plennevaux (HE Albert Jacquard), Paul de Fombelle (Sarbacan), Anne-Catherine Schaub-Jones (GraphicMail), Aude Tribot (Belgacom), Denis Balencourt (Agents Secrets) and Charles Boone (Snipemail).

Before giving the names mentioned, it is interesting to say that there are several types of email marketers:

• The consultants independent They are very few in the French-speaking world to totally dedicate their career to email marketing. Nevertheless, they will undoubtedly be more and more numerous in the coming years.
• The e-marketing consultants Email marketing is not necessarily their first specialty, but they are still highly qualified to advise on the subject. Their generalist expertise in online marketing promises to give you a 360° analysis of your problems.
• The routers The email routers obviously have a lot of specialists in-house. They will inevitably be less "independent", but will be able to help you improve your email marketing programs.
• The others : All those who, while being great specialists, do not offer their knowledge directly to the market as they work for large companies for example.
