Gang Films

What Gang Films does

Gang Films (legally GANG GROUP NV, Belgium-domiciled) is a Paris-headquartered advertising production company founded in July 1995. It provides full-service commercial production services — including pre-production, shoot, and post-production — to global advertising agencies and direct brand clients across television, digital, and cinema. The firm operates a director-anchored business model with a curated roster of 30+ creative directors covering specializations in Automotive, Luxury, Fashion, Storytelling, Comedy, Young Guns, New Directors, and Good Oil categories, and maintains wholly-owned geographic subsidiaries in Madrid (Gang Spain) and Hong Kong (Gang Asia), plus operational offices in Brussels, Dubai, and Cape Town.

The company's core products are commercial production engagements for national and international brand campaigns, with named client work spanning automotive (Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Lamborghini, Peugeot), luxury (Hermès, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, YSL, Cartier, Prada), fashion (Zara, Jacquemus, Louboutin, Jean Paul Gaultier), beverage and food (Coca-Cola, Heineken, Perrier, McDonald's, San Pellegrino), technology (Samsung, LG, Google, Huawei, OnePlus), banking (DBS, Citigroup, AXA, KBZ), beauty (L'Oréal, Lancôme, Sephora, Fenty), and government and cultural campaigns. Specialized subsidiary Gang Life targets documentary-style and real-people branded content, while affiliate partner Obsidian extends creative/post-production reach.

Gang Films monetizes via project-based B2B engagements with ad agencies and enterprise brand clients on a non-publicly-disclosed fee structure. The founder-led organization (Jean Villiers, Founder & Executive Producer; Dimitri Grimblat, Partner & Executive Producer for Gang Life) is privately held with no venture capital, private equity, or public market investment, supported by an internal team of producers, an accounting supervisor, and a post-production coordinator. Revenue mechanics rely primarily on production fees and pass-through budgets, with a 30-year reputation backed by claimed 200+ international industry awards across Cannes Lions, D&AD, Clio, Oscars, Effie, One Show, Epica, Eurobest, and other bodies.
