"I love my job that combines reflection and creativity without ever
being routine. It offers me
the opportunity to discover different sectors through the support of my clients
in their communication, and the enhancement of their image and their projects. There is also a bit of emotion in every event we organize", says
enthusiastically Myriam Abikzer, President and CEO of the event communication
agency Avant Scène. She
addresses all subjects with the same curiosity and passion, whether it is
agriculture, tourism or the environment. Within the
agency, the challenges are present on a daily basis: "We must quickly tackle
the problems at hand and be a constant force of proposals, while respecting the
imposed deadlines that are often very short. One the day that
precedes any event, with my teams, we are all driven by adrenaline. But fortunately, this stress always turns into happiness" . No longer has
she accomplished a mission that Myriam Abikzer is already starting a new
venture: "I need change and mobility. This job
makes me travel. When she founded her small agency in Marrakech in 2003, she
could not imagine that success would be immediate and would continue to grow. In 2008, she settled in Rabat, the capital city, a change of scale due to a
growing company: "We were three people in the beginning of this venture,
we are sixty today! And there
are a lot of women on the team. The
organization is a priority for this mother of two children, Solal and Leah,
whom she entrusts to her family when she and her husband are on the move. Myriam Abikzer is happy to have made the decision to return to Morocco
after studying finance in New York and after a first film experience in Los
Angeles: "I loved that city, a natural and authentic one, but I was
missing my family and I wanted to devote my energy to setting up a project in
Morocco. Here, I feel
at home! It is in the
South of the country where she finds the authenticity she needs:
"Ouarzazate, Zagora, Taznaght, all these places calm me deeply. "
