Media Creation

What Media Creation does

Media Création is an independent communications and creative agency founded in 1993 and headquartered in Mulhouse, Alsace, France. Operated as a SARL with a small core team of approximately three staff plus a network of freelance partners, the firm provides strategic communication consulting, creative production, and digital services (web and social media) to a client base spanning municipal authorities, cultural institutions, industrial groups, and SMBs across the Alsace region. Named clients and references include the Ville de Mulhouse, EuroAirport, the Zoo de Mulhouse, La Cité du Train, La Filature, Glaces Erhard, and ENSCMu, indicating a diversified but regionally concentrated book of business anchored in long-tenured institutional relationships.

The agency's service offering is built around three integrated lines: communication strategy and consulting, creative/editorial and print production, and digital/social media execution. Underlying technology consists of standard industry creative, web, and social media production tools; the firm holds no proprietary platform, AI/ML capability, or data assets, and operates without external funding. The France Numérique certification, obtained in 2022, formally validates its digital delivery capabilities for public-sector buyers, and a partnership with CORNELIUS agency extends production capacity beyond the in-house team.

The business model is project- and retainer-based, with revenue generated from communication consulting fees, creative production contracts, and digital/social media engagements. The two co-directrices associées, Hélène Muguet and Audrey Charbonnier, each bring over 20 years of communications experience and are supported by a Social Media Manager and freelance specialists. There is no evidence of external capital, M&A activity, geographic expansion beyond Alsace, or material headcount scaling across the firm's 30-year operating history.
