“The design world has been my home and
passion for more than 20 years.”
confidentiel was founded 2017 by Catherine Ménard Weber as a strategy and communications agency with a focus on the design and interior industry.
French native with more than 25-years business experience in Germany, Catherine can prove of a wide European network of editors, stylists, architects, brand managers, opinion-leaders and retailers, especially in the world of design and high-end lifestyle.
Her strong expertise and experience in different positions on the retailer, brand and agency side allow her an “out of the box” view on the projects she is in charge with. That USP makes her a valuable and open-minded sparring partner for her clients.
Indeed, after different positions as a communications manager in the international retail and lifestyle segment, Catherine joined 2007 the eCommerce design platform Ambiente Direct as a co-founder and CMO. In this function, she gained deep insights in the design world and strong, multichannel expertise how to raise awareness and successfully establish a brand on the market, and developed a wide network of opinion-leaders and decision-makers within the retail, design and architecture industry.
