Nouvelle Vague Publishing
In 2020, Maëva Girard decided to co-found Nouvelle Vague Publishing: a publishing and management structure with Adrien Crapanzano, a sound engineer by trade.
After a trip to Australia, then Asia, she resumed her studies with a “Digital Marketing and Social Media” course at Sup Career on a professional contract with Warner Music, then a “Marketing 360 and StartUp Development” course on a professional contract with Sony Music.
Finally, a course at EMIC, the School of Creative Industries Management, still on a professional contract with Sony Music.
It was when she obtained her diploma and the end of her contract at Sony Music that she decided to take the plunge and embark on the great adventure of entrepreneurship. It was after a stay at MIDEM and a year of reflection on the project that they officially created NOUVELLE VAGUE PUBLISHING.
