Prior to settling in South-Stukely, Renée was a teacher in a First Nations community and her spouse, Sébastien, worked out of Baie-James as an illustrator. Their social media skills did not go unnoticed by their social circle and some entrepreneurial friends asked them to handle this for them. Quickly, the requests multiplied. Pète et Répète was launched and the company was on a roll. The pandemic did not affect business as social media and online transactions gained momentum. They expanded the business by creating web content including copy, promotional videos, podcasts and live Facebook events. Surrounded by a dynamic and creative team, Pète et Répète helps entrepreneurs improve and maximize their social media and online presence.

When questioned about their company’s name, Renée says they wanted something memorable, mission accomplished!

The couple connected with the CAE Memphrémagog during a networking event. Sébastien explains that “the CAE assisted us financially and the advisors offered valuable advice to successfully manage our business. They helped us structure our finances, prepare our budget and sales projections, and aim for a balanced budget. It was very challenging! We also gained access to CAE Memphrémagog’s important professional network that never hesitate to refer clients to us.”
