What Cominup does

Cominup is a privately held French creative agency operating as SARL COMINUP CREATION, headquartered in Cassis (Marseille area) and serving clients across France. It designs visual identities, digital experiences, websites, packaging, and communication materials for brands across a broad range of sectors, from SMBs to large enterprises. Its commercial model is project-based professional services with publicly disclosed fixed-price packages (visual identity from €1,700 HT, showcase websites €5,600 HT, e-commerce sites from €9,600 HT, packaging from €1,300 HT), complemented by a relatively new commitment-free monthly visual subscription that introduces a recurring revenue layer.

The agency's service portfolio spans branding (logotype design, graphic charters, brand positioning), digital (showcase and e-commerce website design, UX/UI, motion design, newsletter design, web development), and design (print and packaging). Technology is built on mainstream CMS and e-commerce platforms — WordPress and WooCommerce for showcase and small commerce sites, Prestashop and Magento for more advanced e-commerce — with custom development available when required. Pricing transparency and a portfolio-driven website are the primary marketing surfaces, while client referrals and testimonials from multi-year clients (Le Petit Vapoteur, HTS BIO, Le Barbier de Marseille) carry much of the demand-generation weight.

Cominup competes in a highly fragmented French creative agency market differentiated by published pricing, an aesthetic rooted in Marseille/Breton sensibility, and a portfolio of high-profile French clients that includes Olympique de Marseille, Ricard, Capgemini, Pierre Fabre, and Pôle Emploi. The team is small (1–10 people), there is no external funding, no disclosed AI or proprietary technology, and the operating geography is domestic France. The principal growth levers visible in the data are cross-sell into adjacent formats (motion, newsletter) and the expansion of subscription-based recurring engagements.
