Founder & President, Jour de Chance
Frédéric Lefebvre founded Jour de Chance, a 360° media agency based in Boulogne-Billancourt that helps startups and scale-ups with brand awareness and acquisition campaigns: TV and addressable TV, OOH and DOOH, subway, digital.
For over ten years he has built and run media plans for fast-growing brands, with one obsession: measuring what every euro invested actually returns, from digital to offline. He also builds marketing automation and AI tools.
On this blog he shares his analysis of the advertising market, lessons from real campaigns and his convictions about startup growth.
