Reference partner in the publishing sector

Neuflize OBC is banker to leading publishers, ranging from small high-potential firms to large international family-owned groups, whether they are long-established or recent arrivals and regardless of their market positioning. We have the capacity to meet all the needs of publishers in the area of cash management and investment financing. We can contribute our know-how in the area of asset organisation and profit-sharing for managers. We can also provide advice on national and international developments. Over the years, Neuflize OBC has formed close relationships with the DLL (the Ministry of Culture’s book department) and the IFCIC, the financing body for the cinema and cultural industries. It also sponsors a number of prestige events such as the Prix d’Automne, organised by the Société des Gens de Lettres, and the Prix Marcel Pagnol.

The Marcel Pagnol prize committee, which is chaired by the widow of the author of ‘Jean de Florette’, is awarded annually to promising writers. The ceremony takes place at Fouquet’s restaurant in Paris. The winner of the 2007 prize is Didier Van Cauwelaert for ‘Le Père adopté’, published by Albin Michel.

Advertising and PR agencies

Around 60% of independent advertising and PR agencies generating commissions worth several million euros, prefer Neuflize OBC. This recognition has been won through in-depth knowledge of a sector where the value of a company is created by the people running it, their responsiveness and the customer base.

This knowledge enables us to provide tailored support to both small creative agencies and large groups that are leaders of their sector.
