What precious does

Precious is a Paris-headquartered production consulting agency founded in 2005 that serves enterprise advertisers and brands across the full advertising production lifecycle. The firm operates five interconnected practice areas: production consulting (budget negotiation and cost optimization with service providers), business affairs (third-party rights strategy, talent scouting, and contractual settlement for models, photographers, and music), production management (end-to-end coordination from creative approval through asset delivery, including sourcing of directors, photographers, and 3D studios), agency tender organization (global pitch management for communication agency RFPs), and ecoproduction (carbon footprint measurement and sustainable production advisory). Its publicly listed client roster spans more than 40 named enterprise brands across luxury (Audemars Piguet, Guerlain, Louis XIII, Belmond), cosmetics (L'Oréal Paris, Garnier, Shu Uemura, Klorane Laboratoires, Avène, René Furterer), beverages and food (Dom Perignon, Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Rémy Martin, Nestlé, Nespresso, Starbucks, Perrier, Vittel, Contrex, Haribo, Yoplait, Céréal Bio, Candia, KFC), automotive (BMW, Toyota, Michelin), transportation (SNCF, TGV), energy (EDF, Engie), telecommunications (Orange), retail (Carrefour), pet food (Purina), gaming (Betclic), healthcare (Arkopharma), logistics (La Poste), senior living (Domitys), and agriculture (Saint-Loup).

The business model is a traditional professional services revenue stream — the firm negotiates production budgets, sources and manages creative talent, handles contractual rights, and coordinates multi-party shoots on behalf of advertiser clients, generating fees as a consultancy. No proprietary technology platform, software product, or app is disclosed; operations are partner-led and relationship-driven. The firm is privately held by its two named partners — Géraldine Lamamy and Johanne Bernat — with no external investment, parent company, or funding rounds disclosed in available data, and operates from a single headquarters office at 7 rue du 29 juillet in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.

With 16–17 named team members, Precious is a tightly-scoped boutique consultancy whose principal assets are its 20-year track record, embedded relationships with marquee enterprise advertisers, and a network of creative talent. No revenue, pricing, contract size, or backlog data is publicly disclosed. Marketing relies primarily on the visible client portfolio, a LinkedIn company page, and referral-based acquisition; the firm does not appear to operate a public sales funnel or productized offering.
