The history of Agent Majeur
Our story begins with an epiphany. Alexia Youknovsky is focused on inventing her dream job, one that will allow her to merge her different skills.

She elects to create a new type of company, a science communication agency.
Swaying the market
Being a pioneer is not easy, especially not at first. « Why help scientists to communicate? They do it all the time! » This question returns constantly when Alexia undertakes this entrepreneurial venture. As it turns out, Alexia’s insight was spot-on and she steadily wins over her market.

Nowadays, the question our team must now answer is not « Why? », but « How? ». How can we promote activities in research and innovation? Effective communication has become essential. Thanks to our expertise and our support, our clients are able to make the right choices.
