About the delegation

#CreativeConnection is a club launched by EuraCreative that brings together entrepreneurs and creative talents from the creative and cultural industries in Hauts-de-France, built around open innovation, shared experience, and business connections.

Studio RG

In the morning, we code. In the afternoon, we solder and build. In the evening, the audience plays with it. At Studio Rémi Grumeau, we turn wild ideas into things people can touch, for creatives, museums, festivals and brands.

ROBERT Steve

Founder

Passionate about brand creation, I began my entrepreneurial journey straight after graduating from Pôle 3D, where I developed a strong command of the essential tools of communication. My first step into this world was co-founding the agency Sirup.

Three years later, looking to make my own mark, I decided to sell my shares in Sirup and founded COCOA in 2011, dubbed “The Island of Creativity”. Since then, I have had the privilege of supporting a wide range of entrepreneurs and communications managers, helping them shape or reposition their brands and communication materials.

In 2019, I joined forces with my sister, Krystel Robert, to launch Elio, a company focused on Employee Experience and, in my case, Employer Branding.

My ambition remains the same: to design concepts that are both innovative and relevant, bringing invaluable value to the companies that place their trust in us.
