Little Stories

What Little Stories does

Little Stories is a Paris-based independent creative communication and branding agency founded in 2011, operating as the committed communication arm of the AUSTRALIEGAD group. The firm delivers an integrated portfolio of 16 communication services — including brand strategy and platform development, visual identity and graphic charters, advertising and brand campaigns, annual reports, employer branding, CSR/sustainability communication, internal and editorial communication, influencer programs, press relations, photography, content strategy, and social media — to large enterprises, government and institutional bodies, and nonprofit organizations. Its client roster spans pharmaceutical groups (Pierre Fabre, €3B+ revenue), banks (CIC), real estate networks (iad, 15,000+ advisors), shopping center operators (Klépierre), railway infrastructure (SNCF Réseau), retail (Foot Locker), insurance (MMA), and a roster of French and European nonprofits (Fondation des Femmes, Banques Alimentaires, Solidays).

The agency operates as a professional services firm with a hybrid segmentation strategy across enterprise, institutional, and nonprofit clients, generating revenue through project-based engagements and likely retainers with no publicly disclosed pricing. Marketing is conducted through a website portfolio, LinkedIn, and a curated Instagram sub-brand called Diversions that showcases diverse artists, reinforcing the agency's purpose-driven positioning around "committed communication" and the re-enchantment of corporate storytelling. Notable quantified outcomes include the Foot Locker Nike TN Marseille launch achieving 23M+ media coverage and Pierre Fabre's 2024 annual report reflecting 9.5% revenue growth. Distribution is exclusively direct, with senior-level client engagement and project delivery from brief through completion.

The firm is privately held, headquartered at 5 rue Choron in Paris's 9th arrondissement, and led by CEO Marina Zuber and CCO/founder Arnaud Freitas. With 41 employees, Little Stories has no disclosed proprietary technology, software products, or AI/ML capabilities; its competitive offering rests on human creative talent, brand reputation, and curated cultural assets. The agency is positioned within the AUSTRALIEGAD diversified parent group, with no external funding or investor activity on record.
