Claire’s mission: to put in place sustainable growth drivers; to develop close links with a company’s various stakeholders – customers, prescribers, influencers and the public sphere; and to anticipate and prepare for media crises.
A career dedicated to communications
In 1996, Claire Contamine created the press service of one of the leading interprofessional wine bodies in France, the BIVB (Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne) in Beaune. For 7 years she coordinated the Burgundy wine growers’ and wine merchants’ annual press and public relations programmes across 12 countries, from New York to Tokyo, London, Geneva and Berlin.

In France, she supervised relationships with wine journalists and the economic press for the Burgundy wine industry, presenting the vintages and annual results, to coincide with the famous Hospices de Beaune wine sale. In 2005, she decided to create her own agency. Claire’s aim: to continue promoting the world of wine and spirits, and more broadly French luxury and French art of living, while at the same time using her networks and expertise to address complex problems:
- industry and sustainable development,
- crisis in the construction material sector,
- the reach and influence of digital art,
- issues concerning digital education for all,
- employment issues in private medical practice,
- image and brand awraness in the luxury sector…
