Smartvideo

What Smartvideo does

Smartevo (referenced in firmographic data as Smartvideo) is a Paris-based SaaS company that operates a cloud-based collaborative platform for creative campaign management, founded circa 2020 with 1-10 employees. The platform centralizes briefs, projects, creative content, annotation and validation workflows, and social media publishing into a single collaborative workspace, targeting communication, marketing, media, and event teams in French-speaking European markets. Its technical stack combines project tracking, collaborative calendars, customizable workflow automation, content annotation and approval tools, social media deployment, an Adobe integration, and an integrated generative AI assistant that produces briefs, content ideas, planning suggestions, and metadata.

The company runs a subscription SaaS revenue model with quote-based enterprise pricing and a demo-first direct sales motion delivered through Calendly bookings. Its go-to-market is content-led — published case studies featuring Société Générale and Réseau Le Saint, plus blog content — combined with inbound demo requests, consistent with a small team selling into mid-market and enterprise accounts rather than high-volume SMB. Customers are primarily French and French-speaking European enterprises; Société Générale (financial services) and Réseau Le Saint (marketing/communication) are the named logos.

Infrastructure is hosted on Scaleway under ISO 27001 with EU (France) data residency, supporting GDPR/RGPD compliance. This positioning choice targets regulated European enterprises and public-sector buyers who require data sovereignty, and constitutes the clearest defensible element of the offering given the vendor and certification dependencies required to maintain it.
