ALEIA

What ALEIA does

ALEIA is a Montreal-headquartered digital agency founded in 2019 that delivers integrated digital services spanning UX/UI design, branding, web development with AI integration, technical infrastructure, digital strategy, and content production. Its client base is a hybrid of SMEs and multinational enterprises, with publicly named work for Maybelline New York (L'Oréal), Ludia, Dalet, Laval University, Henkel Media, Bota Bota, Open Partners, and Festival Nuits d'Afrique, spanning beauty, media, tech, education, real estate, entertainment, gaming, and social-cause verticals. The company operates a distributed delivery model with team presence in seven locations — Montreal, France, Morocco, Tunisia, New York, Martinique, and Qatar — and is led by founder and CEO Yacine Hanaya.

ALEIA's core production stack is built on modern web frameworks (Next.js 15, React.js) and design tooling (Figma, including Figma AI features), with a stated 100% AI-generated blog platform used as an SEO and content marketing engine. The agency offers no standalone software product, API, or SDK; revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services engagements on custom, quote-based pricing. Distribution is sales-led, relying on the aleia.io portfolio, direct inquiry contact forms, social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X, and enterprise outreach — with no disclosed channel partners, resellers, or formal alliances.

The firm is privately held, has no disclosed institutional funding, no patents, no regulatory actions, no published revenue, and no M&A activity. Ownership is inferred to be founder-led. The only stated proprietary technology is the internally operated AI blog system, and the primary asset is a distributed multi-disciplinary team of designers, developers, and strategists whose size is stated as 11-50 employees, with approximately 24 individuals named on the company website alongside active hiring signals.
