First and foremost, we are a support network
< The collective />
A Company of Freelance Web, Marketing and Communication Experts
We’re a network of experts made up of creative and daring freelancers, from juniors to seniors, with a wide range of professions and passions. Together, we form a collective of enthusiastic freelancers who act as agents in the transformation of work to better collaborate, adapt and organize in the face of social change.
Based mainly in Paris, Toulouse, Marseille, Nantes, Lyon and Brussels, Le Lab brings together more than 32 freelance professions and areas of expertise. Our aim is not to bring together as many freelancers as possible, but rather to create core groups with lasting working relationships, shared values and a real commitment to the collective.
Our common goal: to reinvigorate collaboration on marketing, communication and digital projects while respecting La Collab’s values and methodology.

Project Leaders
The Lab also brings together freelance project leaders who act as facilitators and animators to get the most out of the collective. They act as catalysts and connectors, helping everyone fit in and find their place in the group.
The Project Leader is the key point of contact for clients and freelancers, helping to define needs and expectations, support strategic decision-making, and ensure the quality of deliverables. He/she also strives to facilitate, enhance and improve the working experience of each freelancer within the project.
Do you have a multidisciplinary profile that enables you to deliver precise briefs, set up a project with the right expertise, and interact on the proposed work? Your presence allows us to simplify processes, ensure consistency of strategy and ensure the smooth execution of the project.
