About me

Hello there, I'm Clement, a senior art director in the advertising world, juggling experiences from both France and Canada, working on campaigns that range from local to global.

My educational journey didn't kick off with a focus on design; it was more about strategy. That's why when I dive into creating a new campaign, I'm all about digging into insights and data. Back when I was a youngster, one of my bosses dropped a gem on me, saying, "the best idea is the one that serves the brand." That line stuck with me and is pretty much my motto now.

These days, I find real satisfaction in helping brands grow, especially in times when they can make a big impact on our day-to-day lives. When I'm not deep into work, catch me in a cinema or theater, or underwater blowing bubbles. Life's a mix of creativity and exploration!
