Why a Brands & Values Chair ?


Géraldine Michel

Director of the Brands & Values Chair

The brand is at the heart of business concerns and an everywhere present object in our society. In a way everything is brand, but I deeply believe that a worthless brand is an ineptness, as simple as that: without values, no mark.

Research requires both intuition and rigor, passion and perseverance, and above all stimulating encounters … Through collaborations with the business world, everyone deploys and gains in scale. It is in this spirit of mutual exchange and stimulation that I founded this Chair …

Today each meeting, each partnership is a source of enrichment for all of us, and we are determined that all this will continue in the same direction. Since 2011, what drives us is shaking up ideas, supporting bold research projects and helping build meaningful brands.
