What Cowboys does

Cowboys Agency is a Paris-based creative studio founded in 2017 that provides integrated branding, creative direction, production, and campaign services to enterprise clients in the luxury sector. The agency serves 50+ premium brands across fashion, beauty and fragrance, watches and jewellery, champagne and spirits, and design and lifestyle, with a documented client roster that includes LVMH-owned houses (Dior, Dom Pérignon, Givenchy, Louis XIII), Kering brands (Prada, Prada Beauty, Miu Miu), and heritage names (Dormeuil, Piaget, Chaumet, Figaret, Nouvel Héritage, Destrée, Maison & Objet). Cowboys delivers end-to-end creative work spanning strategy, brand and image positioning, photo and video production, copywriting, scenography, curation, photo exhibition, social media strategy, 360° campaign deployment, and multi-market global accompaniment retainers.

The agency's core technology layer is Cowboys AI, a formally branded sub-brand that integrates generative AI capabilities — automatic image generation, pattern prediction, trend prediction, and image enhancement — into creative production workflows. Cowboys AI is a productized service module rather than a standalone product, with disclosed deployments including AI-powered ingredient still-life imagery for Dior Parfums and a custom-algorithm artistic collaboration for Dom Pérignon with sculptor Mathias Bengtsson.

Cowboys operates a professional services, project-based revenue model with both one-off campaign engagements and multi-year global accompaniment retainers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are negotiated directly with brand marketing and communications teams. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales — no marketplace listings, resellers, or self-serve channels — supported by organic social presence (Instagram, LinkedIn), an online case-study portfolio, and industry event activations such as Print Arles 2025. The agency holds no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and operates independently from its headquarters at 13 rue Sainte Cécile, 75009 Paris.
