Our agency is delighted to be able to draw, from August 2026 onwards, on Philippe Amez-Droz’s wealth of professional experience, as we write together the final chapter of an impressive career.

From 2008 onwards, he also embarked on a career in teaching and research, primarily at the University of Geneva. This academic chapter has recently come to an end. He continues to teach regularly at the private professional training school CREA in Geneva and Lausanne.
Holder of a PhD in Economics and Social Sciences, Philippe Amez-Droz is a recognised expert on the Swiss French-language press. Following a Master’s degree devoted to the regional press in 2007, the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Geneva awarded him the “Outstanding Thesis Award” in 2014 for his doctoral thesis on “The Written Press in the Digital Age”.
