INITIAL CONSULTING

INITIAL CONSULTING was founded with a clear vision: to bridge the gap between the worlds of public relations and the arts. Based in the vibrant cultural hub of Nice, France, the agency was established to serve a niche that often requires a specialized touch—representing artists, cultural institutions, and creative projects. With its headquarters at 5 Boulevard de Cimiez in the heart of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, the agency has grown to become a recognized name in both local and national circles, operating between its home base in Nice and its outpost in Paris. The founding team recognized that the public relations landscape for artistic and cultural endeavors was underserved, and they set out to provide a tailored approach that respects the unique rhythms and sensitivities of creative work.

Current Focus and Philosophy

Today, INITIAL CONSULTING continues to specialize in public relations & communications services with a distinct emphasis on artistic and cultural clients.

Whether working with a contemporary art gallery, a music festival, or a heritage institution, the team at INITIAL CONSULTING brings a deep knowledge of the cultural sector, combined with strategic communications expertise. Their dual presence in Nice and Paris allows them to serve clients across France, leveraging the cosmopolitan energy of the capital while maintaining strong ties to the Riviera's creative community. The agency’s work is characterized by a hands-on, relationship-driven approach, where each client receives personalized attention and a bespoke strategy.
