The company organizes its offerings into four interconnected practice areas: Communication (strategic communication, visual identity, graphic design), Digital (custom web development, UX/UI design, digital platforms), Événements/Events (event production, technical direction, live streaming), and Scénographie (exhibition design, scenography, signage systems). Anima serves cultural institutions, public organizations, and private companies throughout France, with long-standing relationships with clients including Le Voyage à Nantes, Orchestre National de Jazz, Château des Ducs de Bretagne, and various Loire-Atlantique departmental clients.
