Franck Papazian, an entrepreneur, recently acquired France’s renowned social directory, Who’s Who in France, with the aim of revitalizing the publication. Papazian plans to implement a new development strategy, which includes organizing networking events centered around the Who’s Who directory. The 70th anniversary of the iconic red Bible coincides with Papazian’s first edition as the owner, making this milestone even more significant.
The directory’s 55th edition will showcase the strength and longevity of the publication by featuring authentic and verified biographies of 20,000 exceptional individuals. These individuals have made significant contributions to the activity and influence of France, based on their fame, honorability, merit, talent, or competence.
In addition to maintaining the directory’s core features, Papazian intends to introduce new initiatives. These initiatives include organizing events such as cocktails and dinner debates, which will provide networking opportunities for individuals listed in the Who’s Who directory. The events will be held not only in the Paris region but also in other provinces, allowing for a more comprehensive representation of personalities from various regions.
Papazian also has plans to transform the Who’s Who in France website into a comprehensive media platform. By utilizing interviews, both in written and filmed formats, Papazian aims to highlight the members of the directory and promote the economic, cultural, artistic, and other valuable assets associated with them. This transformation will help the directory become one of the most influential French networks. The reimagined website, accompanied by a daily newsletter, is set to launch in March of next year.
For those interested in accessing the Who’s Who in France directory, it is available in both paperback and digital versions. The paperback version is priced at €699, while the digital version can be purchased for €480.
