Delphine Rieutord Communication

Communication that structures, steers and delivers. To turn intentions into results.

My involvement covers the full scope, from strategy definition through to operational delivery. Integrated into your organisation, I steer your communication over the long term to support your company's growth.

01 — My approach

Understand your challenges and goals before touching your communication

Before defining any action, I start by understanding where you really stand. Your business, your offer, your teams, your challenges, what works and what blocks progress. The communication I structure must serve your growth, not the other way around.

1 - Understand

I talk with you, and with your teams when needed, to grasp your business reality, your goals and your constraints. I review what already exists in communication: what works, what's missing, what's inconsistent.

2 - Structure

Together we define a clear communication strategy aligned with your priorities. Key messages, positioning, target audiences, levers to activate, organisation to put in place. You know where you're headed and why.

3 - Lead

I build the action plan, set priorities and coordinate. I work with your teams and partners (agencies, freelancers, suppliers). I am the convergence point for everything that touches your communication.

4 - Deliver

I don't stop at strategy. I also step into operational delivery: content production, speaking engagements, media relations, brand platform, sales materials, internal communication, events... What needs to ship, ships.

02 — Areas of expertise

The communication levers I activate to support your growth

Depending on your priorities, I activate all or part of these levers. When your challenges call for it, I activate my partner network to bring in complementary expertise. I then assemble a tailored team - which I lead and coordinate - to deliver a comprehensive solution, with no added complexity on your end.

Corporate communication & media relations

Brand platform, key messages, press relations, executive speaking, sensitive issue management

Editorial strategy & content

Content strategy, articles, case studies, LinkedIn, brand content

Internal communication

Internal communication plans, leadership messages, newsletters, internal events, various materials, web TV

Employer communication

Employer communication, recruitment, onboarding, attractiveness, employee engagement, advocacy

Commercial communication

Sales enablement materials, commercial presentations, sales narratives, case studies, prospecting content

Events & community building

Client events, webinars, conferences, trade shows, partnerships, community building and engagement

Depending on your situation and needs, this approach takes different forms. Below are the ways I can work with you.

03 — Engagement models

3 ways to work together

Fractional communication leadership

I act as your company's fractional Communication Director, on an ongoing basis. I define the strategy, steer the communication plan, execute initiatives, coordinate teams and partners, and support your speaking engagements. You get senior-level governance without the constraints of hiring. For whom: You don't have an in-house Communication Director. Or the role is vacant. Or you want to move forward now, without waiting to recruit. Duration: Long-term engagement, renewable.

Structuring or realigning communication

Your communication exists but isn't governed, coherent or aligned with your company's reality. I step in to restore order and effectiveness. Diagnosis, strategy, messages, operational action plan: you leave with a clear roadmap and the tools to sustain it. For whom: You sense something is blocking progress but don't know exactly what or how to take the topic back in hand. Duration: Time-bound assignment with defined deliverables.

Leading a strategic communication project

You have a pivotal moment to support, such as a launch, repositioning, strategic announcement or transformation. I frame the project, define the communication strategy, and steer deployment and all stakeholders through to completion. For whom: You have a structuring project and want to ensure communication is up to the stakes. Duration: Assignment scoped to the project.

04 — What sets me apart

What you won't find elsewhere

Experience rooted in your world

Digital, e-commerce, B2B, retail, FMCG... I have spent most of my career in these environments. I know their challenges, their codes, which allows me to get to what matters with you from day one.

Strategic depth and hands-on delivery

I understand your company before touching your communication. I do not produce isolated actions, I build a coherent logic.

One point of contact, end to end

You have a single point of contact, from our first conversation through to deliverables. You always know where your communication stands.

Strategy and operations in the same hands

I define the strategy and stay involved in delivery. You do not have to translate recommendations into actions by yourself. That is my job.

05 — Contact

Ready for a first conversation?

I offer a phone or video call, with no obligation, to understand where you are, what you are looking to achieve, and how I can support you.
