Cognito in Paris: A note from our Founder and CEO

April 8, 2025

Today, we’re proud to announce the opening of our eighth global office – in Paris – further strengthening our EMEA presence following recent growth in Amsterdam and Düsseldorf.

At Cognito, we believe there’s a clear gap in local markets for a truly strategic, internationally-minded communications and marketing firm. Our expansion into France is the next step in meeting that demand.

The Paris office will be led by François Ramaget, a senior communications leader with over 20 years of experience running French operations for TBWA/PR, Grayling, and Gootenberg. Under his leadership, Cognito France will work with clients across financial services, energy, fintech and AI – sectors where France is a recognised global leader.

France is not only a financial and industrial powerhouse, but increasingly a centre for next-generation technology. With strong ties between the private sector and government, France offers significant opportunity – but also demands a tailored, locally informed communications strategy.

Cognito is uniquely positioned to help firms within France looking to elevate their domestic profile, French companies aiming to expand internationally and global firms seeking to grow their presence in the French market.

Our team blends deep knowledge of the French media and business landscape with global perspective and expertise. We will provide clients with integrated strategic communications services – including reputation management, content and thought leadership, crisis counsel, stakeholder engagement, and creative support – to help them succeed in this dynamic market.

If you’d like to talk more about your ambitions in France, we’d love to connect you with François.

Tom Coombes is the Founder and CEO of Cognito
