Paris and London, 9 April, 2025 – Cognito, the international communications agency dedicated to finance, technology and the climate transition, today announces the launch of its French office led by François Ramaget.
Cognito France, part of the Cognito group, aims to provide communication and public relations consulting services in France and around the world.
This is the latest step in Cognito’s international expansion, following the launch of offices in Sydney (2022) and Düsseldorf (2023). The Paris office – Cognito’s third office in the European Union after Amsterdam and Düsseldorf – gives Cognito’s international customers access to key European markets and French companies access to Cognito’s international network of experts on four continents.
Cognito France is led by François Ramaget, an entrepreneur and expert consultant, who has co-founded and managed the French offices of Harvard Public Relations, Trimedia and Gootenberg for the last 25 years.
Cognito France will specialise in strategic communication and content creation, with a particular focus on corporate and technology media. The firm already advises companies in finance, cybersecurity and blockchain.
Tom Coombes, CEO of Cognito: “With the opening of Cognito in France, we now are present in the three largest economies in Europe. We’re able to provide consistent, business building results for both local and international companies in our target sectors. We’ve been working with François for a decade and know his excellent work and market expertise. We’re thrilled to formalise the relationship.”
François Ramaget, President of Cognito France: “France is a vital market for the leading names in finance, technology and the climate transition. It has been a centre for disruptive innovation in the fields of AI, cloud, cyber, blockchain, fintech and sustainable finance. And I know it’s also a market underserved by international agencies. As part of Cognito, we’re able to give companies both foreign and domestic the integrated communications services they deserve.”
Yvonne Maher, Chief Growth Officer, EMEA said: “Expanding to Paris is a natural next step for us, as we continue to support our clients with their growth ambitions into Europe. Our presence here will allow us to deliver even greater value to our clients. We will use our international footprint to continue to help ambitious French companies raise their global profile. We’re excited to bring our expertise and build meaningful and new connections for our clients in Europe.”
