What Faust does

Faust is a privately held visual effects and post-production studio headquartered in Athens, Greece, founded around 2010. The company provides AI-driven VFX, 3D animation, and full post-production services for commercials, feature films, television, and gaming content, working on a project basis for advertising agencies, production companies, and global brands. Its named client roster spans automotive (Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, GM/Chevrolet, Nissan/Infiniti, LADA/Avtovaz), beverages (AB InBev, Mountain Dew, Nescafé, Athenian Brewery/Amstel, Kozel), telecommunications (WIND, NOVA, Svyaznoy), personal care and FMCG (Durex, L'Oréal/Garnier, Ferrero, Unilever/SKIP), banking (Piraeus Bank, Alfa-Beta Vassilopoulos), energy (BP), and gaming/lottery (OPAP, Stoiximan), with work delivered across Europe, the Middle East, Russia/CIS, Asia, and North America.

The studio's core technology stack combines traditional VFX craft (compositing, rotoscoping, environmental effects, 3D animation) with an emerging "AI-Driven Solutions" layer marketed as a proprietary toolset integrated into the production workflow. The company also operates a full post-production suite covering editing, color grading, sound design integration, and final delivery, positioning itself as a single-vendor solution across the production cycle. Industry recognition includes Shots Awards EMEA, Silver Drum, Epica Awards, ADC Annual Awards, and Cresta Awards.

Faust generates revenue through professional-services fees on individual projects, sourced primarily via direct engagement with major advertising holding-company agencies (Impact BBDO, Havas, McCann, TBWA, DDB, Publicis, Saatchi & Saatchi) that act as intermediaries to the end-brand clients. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rate card, and the company maintains a distributed marketing presence across Vimeo, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook to drive inbound agency interest. The company is independently owned with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or M&A activity, and operates as a single Athens-based entity of 11-50 employees.
