What Studio Lamajeure does

Studio Lamajeure is a Montreal-based independent creative sound house founded in 1984 that produces original music, sound design, post-production, and broadcaster distribution services. It operates approximately 30 in-house artisans alongside hundreds of international collaborators across nine downtown studios equipped with both vintage and modern audio gear. The firm's client base spans advertising agencies and global brands (Coca-Cola, McDonald's, BMW, Nike, Air Canada, Desjardins), fiction and film production (Cirque du Soleil, HBO's Sharp Objects, Sphère Média), gaming and immersive experiences (Ubisoft, Moment Factory), and a long tail of Quebec-headquartered advertisers and agencies.

The company delivers audio work as project-based professional services organized around five service lines: Creation (original music composition, sound design, musical direction), Production (sound and music supervision, rights negotiation, project management), Post-Production (recording, mixing, dialogue editing, foley, ADR), Distribution (broadcaster delivery and quality control inherited from the 2010 acquisition of Côté Post Productions Ltée), and Innovation (R&D, Applied AI, audio system design). A standalone Sonic Branding practice provides audio logos, soundscapes, and brand-identity assets. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales anchored by long-tenured relationships with major agencies and brands across Canada, the USA, Europe, Singapore, and the UAE, with no public pricing. The business is privately held, with no parent company or institutional investor disclosed, and is led by a new generation of partners including COO Vincent Dufour, CCO Maxime Navert, and CMO Mathieu Morin.
