Client testimonial
“Yucatan was recommended to us as a very competent and professional agency. After auditing several press relations agencies, Yucatan seemed to us to be the agency that would best meet our expectations.
We worked closely with Yucatan for the launch of Outfittery on the French market. The different ideas submitted by Yucatan to support our launch were very relevant and the work done in managing our press relations was extremely satisfying, allowing us to establish links with the French media very quickly.
I can only recommend Yucatan to any company wanting to set up in France for their professionalism but also for their extreme friendliness.”
