A deep dive into an agency where anything is possible

Five months of immersion. That's how long I spent at Antistatique in Lausanne as an Account & Strategist Intern. And it's an understatement to say that those five months allowed me to grow on every level.

Everything really made sense the day when, by chance, I met the communications manager of a Vaud municipality, who jokingly remarked during our conversation:

At the time, I smiled. Then I understood. I realised how lucky I was to be here for my final Bachelor’s internship. And above all, I realised what makes this agency so special.

Before arriving at the agency, I was often told that it was a “different” environment from large companies. In class, we only skimmed over the subject without really digging into it. Today, I understand what that means.

At Antistatique, we work together. Really together. No silos. No political games. No oversized egos. Here, ideas flow freely, and responsibilities too. Everyone gets involved. Everyone has their place.

This collective culture isn’t just lip service. It’s a way of doing things. A way of being. And it changes everything.

As an Account Manager, I learned to adapt: to listen carefully, to express my ideas clearly and to adjust my message depending on who I was talking to. I enjoyed making contact with public institutions, businesses and private actors to generate leads, set up appointments and initiate new opportunities. These exchanges helped me develop my ease in relationships and to speak up with more confidence and naturalness.

What I liked best, without hesitation, was the strategic dimension. Taking part in brainstorming, imagining a direction, accompanying an idea from its birth to its realisation… it’s rewarding. Attending meetings with external teams, exchanging, debating, confronting ideas, was just as stimulating. These discussions enriched my way of thinking and allowed me to better understand the different viewpoints that, once combined, shape a successful strategy.

At Antistatique, we don’t stay in theory. We act. We test. We build. Ideas come to life; concepts become reality.

This internship wasn’t just a simple exercise. Every task, every mission, had meaning. And it’s by being fully involved in the projects that I learned the most.

Today I’m leaving the agency. But I’m not leaving empty‑handed. I’m leaving with a method, a vision of the profession and a certainty: I’m in the right place, on the right path. Thank you. 🚀
