A simple check-in
Hello, and happy 2026 ✨
It’s been a while since I last wrote to you, so I wanted to start the year with a simple hello.
You may (or may not!) have wondered where I was in 2025. Although it was a quieter year for me in terms of visibility, it was transformative in many ways. I became a mother, my personal context evolved into something very new, and this naturally impacted me professionally.
Behind the scenes, I spent time adjusting and recalibrating how I want to show up in my work. I got clearer about the kind of work I want to do, and how I want to support my clients.
So, in 2026, my focus is on providing structure and clarity at moments of transition.
I step in when businesses are:
In practice, that means helping teams make sense of where they are, what actually matters next, and how to structure their content and visibility accordingly. I do my best work before things get too messy or too expensive to undo.
Search has been my core field for over ten years now (time flies!), and today it naturally extends into AI-driven discovery. I think about both together, as connected systems that need strategy before execution.
If you’re going through a phase of change in 2026 and need clarity, structure, and a strategic outside perspective, I’m open to working together.
You can reply directly to this email to start the conversation.
My availability is fairly open at the moment, and I’m happy to explore projects of different sizes and scopes.
Wishing you a gentle and focused start to 2026 😌
Cheers,
Alizée BAUDEZ
