Inspirience

What Inspirience does

Inspirience is a French private event communication agency (Société par actions, SIRET 791 800 345 00054, APE 5911B) headquartered at 8 rue de Srebrenica, 75020 Paris, founded in 2013 by Grégoire Decaux. The firm operates as an Entreprise Adaptée (EA) — a regulated French social-enterprise model requiring at minimum 55% of the workforce to be employees with disabilities — and is additionally certified ESUS, ISO 20121 (sustainable event management) and EcoVadis Silver (top 25%). Its service portfolio covers conception and production of in-person, hybrid and fully digital corporate events (conventions, seminars, roadshows, galas, inaugurations, team buildings, award ceremonies), paired with graphic design and editorial services, audiovisual production (corporate films, motion design, animations), and RSE consulting for events. Proprietary offerings include InspiSTUDIO, an on-demand digital event environment for participatory virtual and hybrid formats launched in September 2020; EcoDay, a waste-sorting collective action with real-time impact monitoring co-developed with EA recycler Cèdre; and the Passerelle événementielle, an inclusion device offering short-term work missions to people with disabilities beyond the EA perimeter. The firm is led by founder-CEO Grégoire Decaux and Director of Operations Morgane Etienne, with a team of approximately 11 people.

The business model is consultative, project-based B2B professional services, with quotes provided per engagement rather than disclosed public pricing; a publicly listed CDI graphic-designer salary of €2,000 gross/month on a 4/5 schedule, plus benefits (50% Navigo, meal vouchers, health insurance), is the only quantitative pricing signal in the dataset. Distribution is direct enterprise sales, concentrated exclusively in France, supported by content marketing (company blog, LinkedIn) and thought-leadership content on RSE topics such as digital pollution, eco-gestures, and workplace disability inclusion. Marketing channels are organic and demand is generated through case-study evidence and RSE positioning rather than paid acquisition, channel resellers, or marketplace distribution.

The client base comprises large French enterprises and public institutions across banking (Casden, Crédit Mutuel ARKEA, Banque Populaire Val de France, Robeco), energy and infrastructure (GRTgaz, RTE, Enedis, Axione), telecommunications (Bouygues Telecom, Orange), media (France Médias Monde), education (Sciences Po), social housing (Paris Habitat), and public administration (Agefiph, Métropole du Grand Paris), with multi-year recurring engagements spanning 2017–2024. Notable productions include the GRTgaz Voeux 2023 roadshow (2,000 collaborators, four cities) and the Sciences Po diploma ceremonies (5,000+ students). The firm has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and operates from a single Paris headquarters with a secondary administrative address in Montrouge.
