What toast agency corp does

Toast Agency Corp (operating as TOAST Studios) is a privately held, founder-owned creative and production studio founded in 2013 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland by Robin Vaneberg (CEO), Antoine Janssens (Creative Director/Director), and Florian Fatton (Artistic Director/Director/Photographer). The company produces commercials, branded entertainment, original stories, and photography campaigns for premium global brands, with a stated emphasis on adventure, outdoor, lifestyle, sports, luxury, and ice cream categories. Services span concept development, art direction, shoot production across global locations (Los Angeles, Paris, New Zealand, Iceland, Nepal, Galápagos), and post-production including color grading, CGI/VFX, and SFX delivered through partner studios.

The studio is built on a roster-based model: named directors and cinematographers lead projects on a per-engagement basis, supported by a small core team of producers and operations staff (Gilles Sandoz as Head of Production, producers Katia Lallart and Logan Lambert, plus back-office support Céline Domini). Operating footprint covers three locations: a headquarters at Villa Perret, Route des Falaises 140 in Neuchâtel, a US regional office at 1419 W Byron St, Chicago led by Antoine Janssens, and a New York City presence. Technology consists of professional cinema cameras (notably Canon EOS C50 for the DRIVEN launch film), lighting, grip, and conventional post-production workflows rather than proprietary platforms.

Toast generates revenue through project-based professional services fees on commercial, photography, and branded-content assignments for enterprise clients including Häagen-Dazs, Nuii, Kapiti, Dreyer's and Edy's, Scott Sports, BMC, Husqvarna, Harley-Davidson, Canon, Corona, Red Bull, Oakley, Tag Heuer, Zenith, Bvlgari, Greubel Forsey, Vuori, Swiza, ALTISSIMA STONE (Porcelanosa Group), and Phoksundo. Go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise sales driven by portfolio reputation, referrals, and creative pitches to brand marketing teams, supported by a website portfolio and presence on Vimeo, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is scoped per project. No parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds are identified; the company appears fully founder-owned and founder-operated.
