Building a media brand with purpose

Rendez-vous Australie was born from a shared passion for a country we were fortunate to call home. Our goal was to showcase Australia to local residents, travellers, future expats, and anyone curious about the country.

Our Mission

Inform the French-speaking community about Australian current news and inspire them through real-life profiles.

The Foundation

Built the website from scratch, established core content pillars, and designed a structured editorial calendar to drive consistent publication.

Growing an engaged digital community

Key highlights:

  • Defined the editorial direction, visual identity, content strategy, and audience development plan from concept to launch.
  • Managed full lifecycle content creation including SEO articles, in-depth interviews, landing pages, and social media assets.
  • Built and nurtured an active and engaged French-speaking community across Facebook and Instagram.
