What Elias studio does

Elias Studio is a Paris-based boutique creative agency operating as an imprint (enseigne) of the Kincy Group, formally registered as STUDIO ELIAS, EURL with declared capital of €1,000, while its parent KINCY SAS reports capital of €849,700. The studio delivers an integrated three-pillar service architecture — Brand Strategy (naming, manifesto, brand platform, copywriting), Brand Identity (logo, typography, color, photography, illustration, motion and 3D), and Brand Experience (UI/UX, Webflow development, GSAP-driven custom animations, SEO, client training and maintenance) — plus six thematically organized collections (Motion Design, Logo Design, Illustration, Copywriting & Verbal Identity, Webflow Website Development, Photography & Brand Shooting). Its core technology stack is the Webflow CMS for all website delivery, with GSAP for custom motion; generative AI tools (OpenAI Sora, Runway ML, Claude AI, Kling AI, Zero) are used internally to support creative production rather than as a productized capability.

The business operates as a project-based professional services studio with pricing fully custom and undisclosed; prospective clients book discovery calls through a Calendly link routed to Axel Sani (Publishing Director and Data Protection Officer). The team of approximately 7 members covers technical direction (Lucas), web design (Jules), visual design (Zoe), copywriting (Marie), Webflow development (Raphael), project management (Tom), and an additional team member (Thomas), allowing integrated brand-to-deployment delivery in-house. Marketing relies on the studio's portfolio, SEO-driven blog content, an RGPD-compliant newsletter, and an active LinkedIn presence, while distribution is single-channel (direct consultative sales) and geographic scope is domestic France.

The customer base is horizontal and diversified across startups (Pipole, Allshare, Tikoscan, Bigbuddy, Effiblue), SMBs (Reckless surf shop, Green River cruises), and a small number of larger accounts (Fifty-Five, a 300+ employee data consulting firm operating in 10 countries; Fuga, a hospitality brand), with no disclosed anchor contracts, ARR, or revenue figures. No external funding, M&A, partnerships beyond Webflow, or leadership changes have been recorded since founding in 2019.
