Numbered

What Numbered does

Numbered (legal entity: Numbered Studio) is a full-service creative and technology agency headquartered at Herengracht 342-1 in Amsterdam, with additional operating offices in Paris and New York (29-35 9th Ave). The firm serves a predominantly luxury and premium-client base spanning fashion (Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier, Sezane, Nina Ricci, Denham), beauty (Typology, La Bouche Rouge, Payot, Shu Uemura), lifestyle and jewelry (Dom Perignon, Vacheron Constantin, Ladurée, Porsche, Dyson), and a smaller contingent of tech and startup clients (Mollie, Sofinnova, Memo Bank, Neoplants, Sandland). Service delivery is organized around three pillars: Strategy and Consulting, Creation and Design (including CGI/3D production, art direction, UX/UI, packaging), and Technology and Development (front- and back-end engineering, Shopify, Shopify Plus, headless Shopify, mobile/web app). Founded around 2018-2019 by Martin Silvestre (Founder and Executive Creative Director), the firm operates independently with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.

The firm's competitive core is the integration of brand strategy, creative production, and headless commerce engineering on a single bench. The documented technology stack is headless Shopify Plus fronted by React/Next.js with Sanity as CMS and Vercel for deployment, supported by in-house CGI/3D production capabilities. Notable technical deliveries include full replatforms of Coterie (D2C diapers) and Veloretti (premium e-bikes) to headless Shopify Plus, an immersive global digital experience for Dom Perignon, and live-fashion-show e-commerce activations for Jean Paul Gaultier with Sacai. The agency does not ship a standalone software product, does not expose a public or partner API, and holds no patents or listed IP.

Revenue is generated exclusively through project-based professional services engagements under non-disclosed custom pricing; no subscription, retainers, or per-seat pricing tiers are published. The go-to-market is direct enterprise client engagement, with pipeline sourced from portfolio credibility, awards (42 Awwwards, 2 Cannes Lions, 21 FWA awards, 2 Gold World Luxury Awards Monaco, 85 Sitesinspire features, plus 6 nominations each for Awwwards E-commerce and Agency of the Year), referrals, and active social channels (Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Mailchimp newsletter). Customer engagement is concentrated in luxury and premium verticals geographically anchored to Western Europe and the US, with growing reach into Asia (Japan, China), and the firm targets an industry-leader-to-early-stage mix rather than SMB volume work.
