How we would use it. We would use full-page and double-page print placements in the weekly edition, supported by digital placements on lepoint.fr. Creative runs in French, and timing can follow the French business and cultural calendar.

How We Would Run Your Le Point Campaign
We start with the audience you need to reach, whether that is investors, business owners or high-net-worth families, and work back to the title, section and edition that put you in front of them. The schedule follows from that.
