What 12m2 Studio Sarl does

12m2 Studio Sàrl is a privately held Swiss creative studio headquartered in Lausanne, Vaud, operating from Avenue Floréal 10. The studio delivers bespoke audiovisual production services — film production (pre-production through post-production), animation, motion design, and supporting communication strategy and artistic direction — to corporate, government, and non-profit clients primarily in Western Switzerland. Its portfolio of more than 20 named projects spans the 2016-2025 period and covers transportation (Transports Publics de la Région Lausannoise), government communications (Ville de Lausanne, OCOSP, Tourisme Neuchâtelois), enterprise customers (Loterie Romande, Boschung, deRham, Zip.ch, 24 Heures/LHC, Ourke Engineering, NonStop Gym, Mobilis, eeproperty), and non-profits (Aspasie, Fleur de Pavé).

The studio's production model is custom project-based: services are scoped per client brief, with no public pricing or packaged offerings. Its technical foundation is conventional digital filmmaking, animation, and motion-design tooling, supplemented by a motion-control capability delivered through a technology partnership with Brosky media. There is no public API, no software product, no proprietary technology platform, and no disclosed AI/ML capability. Customer acquisition is primarily sales-led and direct, driven by a portfolio website, an Instagram presence, and inbound project briefs via a contact form; the studio also receives work through creative-agency referral partnerships with Cavalcade and DO! L'Agence.

12m2 Studio Sàrl is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or venture funding. No headcount, revenue, or ownership structure data is publicly available. Legal entity type is a Swiss Sàrl (private limited company), and the company is actively operating with portfolio updates dated through 2025. Geographic scope is regional (Vaud / Western Switzerland) with no global footprint claim.
