The sound production Paris

What The sound production Paris does

The Sound Production Paris (legal entity THE, SARL; RCS Paris, registered 18 January 2007) is a Paris-headquartered audio post-production and music supervision company founded in 2006 that serves advertising agencies, brands, streaming platforms and audiovisual producers. Its core services fall into four buckets: Sound Production (sound design, mixing, post-synchronisation and voice for advertising, TV, radio, web and cinema), Music Supervision (artistic direction, composer selection, synchronization and rights management), Production Music via the proprietary My Music Library catalogue (over 4,000 works licensed through mymusiclibrary.fr), and Podcast production and distribution through the Engle label (ranked among France's top 12 ACPM podcast broadcasters with nearly one million monthly listens). Notable client engagements include music supervision for Netflix's Nouvelle École (seasons 2-4), Canal+ Mercredi Season 2, Prime Video's Squeezie documentary, and the Ridley Scott-directed Hennessy XO film, alongside recurring campaigns for E.Leclerc, BoursoBank, Allianz, Peugeot, Volkswagen, TotalEnergies and TikTok.\n\nThe technology footprint is a six-studio facility at 57 rue des Vinaigriers (75010 Paris) running Pro Tools Ultimate across Avid S5 Fusion, S3, S1 and SSL Matrix controllers, with Neumann microphones, Neve preamps, JBL/Genelec monitoring and a 5.1 surround auditorium. Co-founders Raphaël Fruchard (Producer/Publishing Director) and Serge Escande (CFO) control the company; total headcount is ~16, including a rejuvenated producer bench (Juliette Tran, Thomas Gabriel, Xavier Benoist), a music supervision department (Antoine Le Guern), podcast producers, sound engineers, a music publishing lead and administration. Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services contracts priced by custom quote, supplemented by recurring licensing income from My Music Library and, to a lesser extent, podcast production deals. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent entity and no recent M&A activity.
