What Wanda does

Wanda is a privately held, Paris-headquartered transmedia production company founded in 1991 by Patrick Barbier, operating through five divisions: Wanda (TV commercials and advertising film production), Mynd (music video production through mynd.paris), Wanda Originals (TV series and streaming content through wandaoriginals.fr), Wonder (photography), and Jungler/Jungler Lab (animation through jungler.tv). The company produces high-end visual content for a global roster of brand and agency clients that includes Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Gucci, Prada, Apple, Google, Samsung, Amazon, Nike, Adidas, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Ford, Sony, Netflix, NBA, NFL, Tiffany & Co., Coach, Zalando, BNP Paribas, O2, Heineken, Corona, Pepsi, Gatorade, and KFC, among others. Its core technology is creative production craft, anchored by a roster of internationally recognized directors whose work has won Cannes Lions, D&AD, ADC NY, Clio, Ciclope, Eurobest, LIA, and Shark Awards.

Wanda's business model is professional-services production revenue: project-based fees for commercials, music videos, photography, animated films, and TV series. GTM is sales-led and direct-to-enterprise, supported by a website portfolio, social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook), and an email newsletter used as a top- and mid-funnel engagement layer with brand and agency decision-makers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is typically quote-based per project scope, director, and production requirements. The company has recently extended beyond pure services into IP ownership, having completed the buyout of Sony's $49M stake in Vampire Squid Productions (Octonauts) in March 2026, and is positioned to expand that franchise through new seasons, merchandising, and partnerships.

The company is founder-led, currently run by CEO and Executive Producer Olivier Dubocage, with Managing Director and CFO Stéphane Brelivet, Executive Producer Barthélémy de Champsavin, and founder Patrick Barbier serving as Senior Advisor. Headcount is in the 101–250 band, the legal entity is Wanda+, and no external private equity, parent company, or public-market ownership is evidenced in the source material.
