THE ROOSTER FACTORY IS THE BRAINCHILD OF AUDREY & JULIEN FORT, FRENCH NEW YORKERS, NOW ANGELENOS, WHO DECIDED TO COMBINE THEIR 20 YEARS EXPERTISE IN BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, MARKETING & DESIGN.
A multilingual globetrotter, bon vivant, cocktails lover, Audrey is a worthy overseas representative of the French Art de Vivre.
With a Masters degree in English, Russian and International Trade under her belt, she spent a first decade exporting and managing French luxury goods such as Cartier accessories or Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances in Europe, Africa and Middle East.
The second decade was dedicated to creating and developing multi-awarded spirits in Europe and the USA, as well as launching the Gin Connoisseur Program (GCP), a prestigious pioneer on-trade educational program.
A respected member of the liquor industry, Audrey led and moderated numerous seminars at major interna-tional industry conferences [+].
Audrey is a member of the Tales of the Cocktail seminars selection committee, an Academy member of the World’s 50 Best Bars and was named one of the 300 innovative French talents across the worlds of gastronomy, art, mixology, entertainment & fashion by L’Officiel and Martell [+].
Although Julien has a French passport and used to call Paris home, he’s spent a good part of his life living abroad, at times enjoying spanish tapas or the Bolshoï in Moscow.
Nourished by this borderless environment and while graduating in History and Political Science, Julien studied fine arts, graphic novels and photography.
After a decade managing consulting projects for companies such as Habitat, Sephora or Saint Gobain, he eventually reconciled his taste for drawing and business and established himself as a freelance designer specializing in communication & packaging design.
With a strong foothold in the liquor industry, Julien deeply believes that meaningfulness creates impactful designs. For him, designing is another way of telling stories, reviving history, exploring time and geography. And yes, authenticity matters!
During his years in Cognac, France, Julien also taught regular seminars about the premiumization of packa-ging to brandy professionals.
