Baptiste Lefevre

I worked with Baptiste for four months at Austral Groupe Énergie. I supported him when he joined the company and handed over my projects to him.

Despite the distance between Amiens and the group's overseas territories, he built a relationship of trust with his contacts and teams, both internally and with partners. He is available, a good listener and knows how to stay connected even without meeting in person.

Baptiste took the time to fully understand how the company works, its challenges and its teams, so he could take full ownership of his projects. Organised and rigorous, he knows how to negotiate budgets with vendors and suppliers and, above all, how to stick to them, which is invaluable in events and in all kinds of field activations.

I recommend him without hesitation to any organisation looking for an expert in field activations, events, demand generation and brand awareness. Reliable and committed, he is a manager who is both strategic and hands-on.

As Marketing Director at Speechi, I had Baptiste in my team for more than four years. During that time, Baptiste worked as Events Manager, reporting directly to me.

Baptiste created his role and quickly showed he had what it takes to run the events function single-handedly. He stood out on both in-person events (in France and internationally) and virtual events (webinars). Able to deliver a project end to end with quality, he also knows how to bring teams together to run trade shows (technical, sales, marketing and external partners).

His adaptability and enthusiasm made him operational and autonomous very quickly, even under great pressure. He took on his responsibilities and carried out every assignment with great professionalism and care.

Baptiste had recently helped position us at major European trade shows such as ISE in Barcelona and the largest education shows in Germany. He loves a challenge and updates his knowledge whenever he can; I can assure you he will be just as effective within your teams and on your projects.

I hired Baptiste in 2017 as Web Marketing Officer. Within the marketing team, Baptiste first wrote content and managed our communities, especially around our blog. He then took charge of our direct marketing (several newsletters sent to 30,000 contacts), then of the link between the marketing and sales teams (weekly product training for sales reps). He was then appointed Events Manager and organised our trade shows (some twenty national and international shows a year) and our online seminars (monthly).

Baptiste has great interpersonal skills and is very comfortable speaking, which he put to use in seminars and with our sales reps. He is also an organiser who handled every aspect of our trade shows perfectly (bookings, logistics, demos, follow-up, setting up various tools…).

He showed great energy with us, in a variety of roles, at a time when the company was structuring itself and many unusual things could be asked of him. He constantly went above and beyond his role. In any position that draws on these qualities, I believe he will be an asset to any organisation.

Baptiste joined Pause VIPee as Marketing & Communications Officer at a time when everything at our start-up was still to be built. We were at square one, only two months after launch, and needed strong support across the business, especially on marketing and communications. That is where Baptiste helped us.

Starting from a blank page is never easy, and Baptiste took on the challenge head-on and met it. He quickly adapted to the company's situation and put in place the whole marketing and communications strategy in a relevant and lasting way. First by creating and maintaining our showcase website (WordPress) and our e-commerce site (PrestaShop) with our supplier. He ran our content and distribution strategy, our SEO and social media. He also set up all our direct marketing, with mailings to our entire database.

As an outstanding organiser, he also coordinated the creation of all our print catalogues and brochures and, as needed, our events, trade shows, fairs and the openings of our sites.

Baptiste is energetic, self-taught and versatile, with strong organisation and project management skills. I can only recommend all his professional and personal qualities, and I am sure he will be just as effective in taking on your challenges.
