One point of contact for the product and its growth

Most projects juggle a dev shop and a media agency that rarely talk — and the client ends up arbitrating between them. E-XODE removes that friction: one accountable lead pilots both the product and its growth.

"Since 2009, E-XODE has been supporting its clients on development, consulting, and digital marketing projects. I personally handle strategic projects and bring in the right resources for each need."

  • Product and growth piloted by the same lead

  • Mobilisable resources, controlled costs

    The France-Cambodia dual presence makes it possible to mobilise and coordinate the right resources for your planning and roadmap constraints. Your budget stays under control, with the capacity to absorb peak workloads without adding interlocutors.

Common questions

The questions I actually get asked — with straight answers.

Do you handle both development and campaigns, or just one?

Both, under a single accountable lead. That's the whole point: no more coordination to manage between a dev shop and an agency, no gap between the technical work and the campaigns. I have a track record of development missions for large accounts — Saint-Gobain, SwissLife, Criteo, AFP — and I run the campaigns for Bunny Shop and VitaPulse in parallel. This isn't a recent specialty: it's been the model from day one.

Where are you based, and do you work on site?

I'm based in La Mure d'Isère (Isère, 38), and I also work from Cambodia depending on the period. Most of the time I work remotely, but I can travel or step in on site when a mission calls for it. I've been an independent consultant since 2009.

How much does it cost?

For development, the indicative day rate is around 750€ excl. VAT, negotiable depending on the project and duration. For campaign management, the offer includes a setup fee (audit, strategy, technical setup) and a monthly management retainer. The ad budget is separate and stays under your control. The detail is worked out after the initial audit — no fixed price grid, because every engagement is scoped differently.

How does the campaign management offer actually work?

Two parts: an initial setup (audit, strategy, technical account and campaign configuration), then a monthly retainer covering daily monitoring, optimization, reporting, and recommendations. Your ad budget stays separate from these fees — you see it, you control it, I advise on allocation. The engagement is month-to-month and cancellable at any time.

Who is my point of contact and who steers my account day to day?

Christophe is your single point of contact and project lead: he owns the follow-up, the direction, and answers your questions. When the roadmap requires it, he mobilises and coordinates the necessary resources — but your contact stays the same, from the first exchange to delivery.

What languages do you work in?

French and English, both fluently. Deliverables, exchanges, reports: in whichever language works for you.
