What Akyos Communication does

Akyos Communication is a privately held French digital agency headquartered at 5 rue de Mayence, 21000 Dijon, founded by Aubin AMARDEIL. The company operates across three commercial poles — web development, e-commerce, and digital marketing — staffed by approximately 21 experts (per multiple operational sources; firmographic metadata lists 1-10, reflecting either a data inconsistency or narrower scope definition). Core delivery is built on WordPress for showcase sites, PrestaShop for e-commerce, and Symfony for bespoke platforms, with services priced from €2,000 to €50,000+ per project.

The business model combines one-time project revenue (website builds, e-commerce platforms, custom web solutions) with subscription-based digital marketing retainers ranging from €450 to €3,000+/month (SEO, social media, Google Ads, email automation using Brevo). Two adjacent revenue lines have been added: RGAA 4.1 accessibility audits starting at €1,615 HT (targeting French regulated entities facing potential €25,000/year non-compliance penalties) and eco-conception audits aligned with the Numérique Responsable label. A separately branded Akyos Formation training center, Qualiopi-certified, monetizes professional training on digital marketing, AI tools, visual creation, responsible digital practices, CMS administration, and office productivity, financed through CPF, OPCO, and France Travail.

Customers are overwhelmingly SMBs in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region plus selected public-sector and regulated entities, with no large enterprise anchors identified. Distribution is purely direct (website, phone, in-person) with no reseller or partner channel network. Hosting partnerships (Infomaniak, OVH) and an RSE consulting relationship (La Belle Éco) support the responsible digital positioning rather than revenue scale. The agency obtained the Label Numérique Responsable Level 1 in July 2024; no funding rounds, acquisitions, or geographic expansion have been disclosed.
