What Image & Sound does

Image et Son SA, operating under the trade name Image & Sound (Image & Son), is a Swiss audiovisual production company founded in 1974 and headquartered in Rossemaison (Jura canton) with a second office in Marin (Neuchâtel canton). The company provides end-to-end video production services organized around three pillars: event coverage (mobile production control room/car régie, multi-camera capture, and webstreaming), film production (corporate films and accredited broadcast television work), and post-production (scriptwriting/storytelling, filming, editing, color grading, compositing, and audio). Its technology stack centers on professional broadcast hardware, including a mobile production unit supporting 8-camera HD/4K capture with an ATEM Constellation switcher, URSA G2 cameras, Canon optics (20x/13x/55x), 4-channel slow motion, 40x40 routing, and a 16TB server.

The business model is professional services revenue, predominantly project-based and quote-driven, supplemented by hardware sales and recurring managed services through a certified Samsung MagicINFO digital signage partnership covering software licensing, hardware distribution, installation, maintenance, and training. Image & Sound's customer base spans national and regional broadcasters — most notably a daily filming and sound recording contract with RTS (Radio Télévision Suisse) that has run continuously since the company's founding — regional media outlets (BNJ Publicité, RFJ, RJB, RTN, GRRIF), and corporate and institutional clients including Chevrolet, Raiffeisen, Tornos, Rollomatic, Swiss Timing, Canton Jura, CEJEF, and Swiss Red Cross. The company also engages in original documentary co-productions with RTS.

Image et Son SA is a privately held Swiss Société Anonyme with no external investors or parent company disclosed. Management is led by Jérôme Steulet (Directeur général / CEO) and Pierre Steulet (Administrateur délégué / Chairman), suggesting family ownership and continuity. The 13-person team is composed of directors, project managers, camera operators, editors, sound engineers, and sales delegates, with official accreditation from national broadcasting channels. The company has no app, no public API, no disclosed patents or trademarks, and no AI/ML capabilities identified in its operations or product surface.
