Kop Media

What Kop Media does

Kop Media is a Paris-based sports video content creation and market intelligence company founded in 2020, with its founding media brand Kop Football launched in 2019. The company operates at the intersection of video production and data-driven content strategy, offering a proprietary SaaS platform called Kop Studio that combines a benchmarked database of 1,500+ sports videos across 15+ sports and multiple platforms (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok), an AI-powered Chat IA assistant for creative briefs and insights, a production pipeline management module, and a Data & Analytics layer for performance benchmarking. Alongside the platform, Kop runs a full-service production studio that produces social-native video content — trailers, brand films, social ads, and motion design — for sports rights holders, brands, agencies, and event organizers, and operates its own sports media brands Kop Football (3M followers) and Kop Rugby (100K followers, 10M monthly views) as both credibility signals and activation inventory.

Revenue is generated through three streams: full-service video production on a per-project basis (professional services), standardized social ads subscription packages (Starter at €2,250, Growth at €4,600, and a €2,000 monthly retainer), and Kop Studio platform subscriptions targeting rights holders, sponsors, agencies, and producers. Go-to-market is dual-motion: consultative direct sales led by founder Edouard Desmettre for production services, paired with a self-serve/PLG SaaS motion for Kop Studio. The company has served 40-50+ named clients including DAZN, LOSC, 24H du Mans (A.S.O.), Transat Café L'Or, FFHandball, LNB, TotalEnergies Rugby via Sportfive, Les Enfoirés, Bonnuit, Vulcania, and Unibet, with reported outcomes ranging from x22-x30 ROAS on retail/tourism campaigns to 500K leads and +25% engagement on enterprise DAZN campaigns. Total cumulative production is 500+ social videos and 25M+ organic monthly views across client accounts. The company is privately held, raised €300K in pre-seed funding from Side Angels in October 2023, and operates with a team of 1-10.
