What Syneido does

Syneido is an independent French communication group (Groupe Syneido SAS) headquartered in Lille, with additional offices in Paris and Lyon, operating an ecosystem of nine specialized agencies that collectively serve approximately 150 enterprise clients across retail, luxury, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, insurance, energy, real estate, and entertainment. The group delivers integrated branding, advertising, content production, digital and social marketing, CRM/performance marketing, and retail education through five verticals — Branding & Innovation, Advertising & Content, Digital/Social/Médiatisation, Marketing Performance, and Retail Education & E-learning. Its named client roster includes Cartier, Leroy Merlin, Nestlé, Sanofi, Groupama, Nexity, Legrand, Herta, Courir, Conforama, Parc Astérix, Melvita, Evidens de beauté, Oney, Cultura, Atmosphera, Besson, and Enilive.

The group operates two registered proprietary technology assets: OpenPilot®, a design thinking methodology structured around a 100-day brand transformation cycle, and B2bylon©, a digital learning platform for sales force enablement. Delivery is augmented by an "Intelligence Collective" framework that layers generative AI, a proprietary AI SEO Assistant, and process automation on top of human expertise, in a GDPR-compliant environment where LLMs are not trained on client data. Syneido reports €35 million in revenue with 20% year-over-year growth, 230 employees spanning 50 professional expertise areas, and a 95% overall client renewal rate (100% for its Top 10 accounts).

Syneido is structured as a partner-led independent group with no disclosed parent company or institutional investors. The legal holding entity is Groupe Syneido SAS, with registered capital of €12,925,613. Leadership includes President Frédéric Clipet, CEO/Co-Founder Guillaume Rückebusch, and named group associates Delphine Coutable and Nicolas Blondel, each of whom also directs a subsidiary agency. The group was named "Groupe de Communication Indépendant de l'Année 2025" and has received subsidiary recognition at the Grand Prix des Agences de l'Année in 2023 (Elvis — Agence Challenger de l'Année) and 2025 (Hobbynote — Agence Advertainment de l'Année). Revenue is generated through project fees and retainers with enterprise clients via direct sales across three French offices; no public pricing, ARR, or segment revenue split is disclosed.
