VALÉRIE DE BAECQUE

“The dream of starting my own company was born from a desire to do things differently and follow my personal principles. I advocate for a form of communication tailored to the current times… a communication that is genuine, sincere, and straight-forward, based always on the transparency and the quality of the content.”

Specialising in luxury goods, she was Press Manager for Loewe Perfumes(LVMH) and Account Director in PR Agencies Ketchum Pleon (Omnicom) and Equipo Singular. Her expertise covered a wide spectrum of different brands,including Hugo Boss and Rochas (Procter & Gamble), Samsonite, Jacob Delafon (Kohler), Vacheron Constantin (Richemont), Danone, Lancôme,and Kiehls (L’Oreal), Ray Ban, Persol,and Arnette (Luxottica), and Kenzo Perfumes (LVMH). Two of her communication campaigns, Hugo Boss and Vacheron Constantin, became benchmarks for international brand strategy.

Today, besides managing her communication agency, Valerie enjoys teaching Fashion Management in several Fashion Schools and Master’s programs in Madrid.

We work with a creative team of professional, specialised associates in each stage of every project.

Additionally, PRESS & PR CONSULTANT operates a global network of 10 partner agencies, including Europe, the US, and LatAm. Our multifaceted range of experience in different communication areas —in-house PR departments, agencies, and media— channels a global strategic vision specific to each client, each project, each product.

Valérie is a forward-looking communication professional who shows great initiative. We met at an agency before she decided to venture on her own. Shortly after, she called on me to give my input in her new business.She has taught me about perseverance, personalised attention to clients, and the loving care every project needs. Her passion is contagious! Thanks to the time spent working with Valérie and now that I work in the media, I am able to understand both sides and use this to create new and better synergies.
