CKC-Net

What CKC-Net does

CKC-Net is a privately held French digital communications agency founded on 5 January 2004 by Nicolas Kelen and Romain Fievet, headquartered in Sophia Antipolis (French Riviera) with a second office opened in Chaponost near Lyon in 2016. The agency offers an integrated portfolio of services: custom website creation (WordPress, PrestaShop), native iOS and Android mobile applications, bespoke CRM development in Laravel, SEO/Google Ads, social media management, branding and visual identity, and professional photo/video production. Its proprietary product GateFlow is an iOS-based accreditation and access-control application coupled with a custom CRM, used for digital ticketing and real-time visitor tracking at premium events such as the Monaco Grand Prix and Monaco Yacht Show. CKC-Net holds PrestaShop Partner and Stripe Partner certifications.

The business operates as a full-service professional services firm with two revenue mechanics: project-based engagements (web, mobile, CRM, branding) typically billed on fixed-price or time-and-materials terms, and recurring website maintenance subscriptions (tiers from €189/month to €1,639/month with 12- or 24-month commitments) plus non-commitment hour credit packs. Distribution is exclusively direct — phone, email, website contact form, and in-person meetings across five physical locations (Sophia Antipolis, Chaponost, Nice, Cannes, Monaco) — with no reseller or marketplace presence. Marketing is anchored in content/SEO, Google Ads, organic social, Mailchimp newsletters, and event presence (PrestaShop Tour, Monaco Yacht Show, Monaco Grand Prix).

The customer base spans French SMEs, premium/luxury brands (Dior, PSG, Monaco Yacht Show, Senate Grand Prix), professional sports clubs (OGC Nice since 2014, Sharks d'Antibes), industrial/B2B firms (Exail, HGH Infrared, Groupe Picot, CMR Group), yachting and maritime companies (Moravia Yachting, Royal Yacht International, Musée Océanographique de Monaco), and education sector clients. The 22-person team has delivered 300+ projects across France from a 200+ m² office footprint.
