French term or phrase: service génie compris de proximité
This is from an equipment rental company that has just designed a new mascot: a genie.

Imaginé tout vert au début du projet, il a été humanisé au fil des épreuves avec une couleur chair et des mises en situation concrètes. « Pour une fois, nous n’avons pas mis les machines en avant », souligne la Responsable marketing et communication de XXX, « mais un personnage qui veille à ce que tout aille bien. En le voyant, le client doit pouvoir se faire une idée de notre service, un service génie compris de proximité »

Thanks!
