What kino / l'agence audiovisuelle does

Kino is a privately-held audiovisual production and post-production agency headquartered at 5 rue de Nemours in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, France. The company operates a single-location studio with a 33m² in-house filming space equipped with chromakey backgrounds, a video laboratory for encoding and format preparation (DCP, PAD, DVD/Blu-ray authoring, colour calibration), and remote production infrastructure strengthened in 2022. Its service portfolio spans four pillars: Agency (corporate films, advertising, motion design, events, HR/elearning content, social media and video marketing), Live Streaming (press conferences, AGMs, conventions, webinars, product launches, web conferences), Filming Studio (shooting, drone, timelapse) and Post-Production (image, sound, restoration, laboratory, broadcast-ready). The agency also markets proprietary KinoBoard e-learning tooling, VR 360° production and ECOPROD-certified eco-responsible production practices.

Kino operates a sales-led, project-based business model with custom quotation on every engagement and no publicly disclosed rate card or recurring contracts. Pricing is set per project based on scope (pre-production, production, post-production); historical references place simple 3D product reveals at roughly €3,500–4,000. Lead generation runs through the multilingual (French/English) website with embedded quote request forms on every service page, complemented by direct phone/email outreach, organic social presence across LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and a news/blog content marketing programme. The agency reports 500+ customers across 30 countries with cumulative output of 5,000 films, 4,000 motion design projects and 20,000 interviews, and a Trustindex-certified 4.6/5 service rating.

Broad incumbents

• Hogarth Worldwide: Global production services network (WPP-owned) covering content production, post-production, localization, and adaptation across markets. Comparable to Kino as a multi-service production partner for enterprise marketing and brand teams, but operating at global scale with WPP infrastructure.
• Publicis Productions: Production arm of the Publicis Groupe, providing content production and adaptation services globally at scale. Comparable to Kino's enterprise production, post-production, and content adaptation services, but operating as part of a global advertising network with significantly larger infrastructure.
• BETC Paris: Major French advertising and creative agency under Havas with extensive production capabilities. Comparable to Kino in serving French enterprise clients with advertising and brand content, though BETC operates a broader creative agency model versus Kino's pure-play production focus.

Emerging players
