La Strat Consulting was founded by a passionate Media and Marketing executive who wanted to provide the highest caliber of market implementation through strong and effective communication strategies. Through her experience teaching French in the USA and creating communication strategies in Africa, USA, and France for international and local companies, she came to realize that companies would tend to copy and paste a winning strategy that would work in one market with the hope of succeeding in a new market with negative results.
Having developed expertise in the Francophone African market, with a deep understanding of audience interest, Gaelle believes in the importance of understanding and using cultural nuances to craft compelling communication strategies for companies looking to expand their business overseas.
Over her experience as a Marketing and Media Executive, she has helped 100+ companies such as Yves Rocher, Sanofi, L'Oreal develop and implement their communication and grow their business in Africa.
