Sculpture

What Sculpture does

Sculpture is a privately held bilingual creative agency founded in 2018 by Karim Marier-El Khayat and Nadège Dionne-Tremblay and headquartered in Montréal, with additional offices in Toronto and Los Angeles. The firm offers six integrated service modules — copywriting, translation, graphic design, marketing strategy, community management, and public relations — aimed primarily at international agencies and global brands seeking authentic French-Canadian market localization, and at Quebec-based businesses seeking integrated creative-and-performance growth support. Its core technology is a proprietary custom typeface with unique sculptural ligatures developed in collaboration with Pangram Pangram Foundry and physically rendered in 3D across multiple carving-material textures, which functions both as a self-brand signature and as a reusable brand-asset deliverable for clients.

The agency employs approximately 12 people and operates on a project-based professional services revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution is enterprise field sales: Sculpture acquires clients through direct relationships, portfolio showcase, and case study work, and has developed an enterprise client roster that includes Bell Canada (600+ adaptation tasks since 2018), lululemon, Reebok, Familiprix, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Fenty, Amazon Canada, and Uber, alongside smaller Quebec accounts such as Marée, Folks & Forks, and Ballet Divertimento. Marketing channels are anchored on the company website and portfolio platforms (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Behance), with earned media visibility through coverage of major client campaigns.

Sculpture's value proposition rests on combining strategy, creative, and digital performance under a single growth model, underpinned by deep French-Canadian cultural fluency. Outcome metrics disclosed to date include Marée tripling revenue over 2023–2026, Familiprix's Instagram following growing from 1,000 to 26,000 over three years, and a 27% reduction in cost per lead for Ballet Divertimento post-rebrand. The company is privately held with no disclosed outside investment, no parent company, and no acquisitions or exits.
