History, organisation and by-laws

History and organisation

Founded in 1988, Syntec Conseil en Relation Publics represents the public relations consulting profession in Fédération SYNTEC, an industry federation representing 910,000 employees in 80,000 companies specialised in engineering, IT, surveys, studies, consulting and professional training.

Syntec Conseil en Relations Publics represents more than 50 of the major public relations consultancies in France, or approximately 1,400 employees and 65% of the market. All our members share the same vision and are bound by the same Professional Code of Ethics in their daily practice.

The association exists to raise standards in the profession, facilitate its members to share best practice, discuss the challenges they face, improve recognition of their specific skills and enhance the profile of public relations as a whole.

Syntec Conseil en Relations Publics is therefore the ideal forum for members who share a desire to improve the quality of public relations. Although they may be competitors in their everyday working life, the association’s members work together and share their knowledge in a spirit of cooperation and common purpose.
