What sevanova does

Sevanova is a French B2B cross-media communication agency that delivers integrated 360° communication services for enterprise and institutional clients. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Lyon, the firm operates additional offices in Dijon and Paris, serving clients across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, energy, food and beverage, culture, and government sectors. Its service portfolio spans strategic communication consulting, brand identity creation, digital and web marketing (including responsive websites and mobile applications), print and editorial production, video and motion design, and full event management with custom trade show stand design (the latter formalized through its Structuro sub-brand).

The agency operates on a project-based professional services model, with revenue generated through bespoke engagements priced per project or via standardized event packages (e.g., Paris 2024 corporate event packages starting at €12,500 HT). Its go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct client relationships, a portfolio of enterprise case studies (including Stago, Sanofi Pasteur, Emerson, Merck, Groupement Les Mousquetaires, B Braun, Koelis, Innergex, and the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre), and inbound content marketing through its Sevablog, Sevanews newsletter, Instagram presence, and downloadable thought-leadership ebooks. Sevanova also develops bespoke digital products for clients, such as the 'Let's Match' platform for Koelis and the Mécénat by Garance website.

Underlying the service delivery is a multidisciplinary in-house team of cross-media project managers, art directors, graphic designers, motion designers, and web developers, supplemented by occasional press relations partnerships (e.g., for the InterApi Api'Chandeleur campaign). No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, or recurring subscription revenue model is disclosed; the business remains fundamentally a people-driven creative services firm with diversified revenue streams from one-off and multi-year client engagements.
