Architects of the “cultural shift” since 2006: Spintank
In this article :
Spintank is a French communications agency founded in 2006, specializing in supporting brands, institutions, and organizations through cultural and digital transformation. Based in Paris, the agency positions itself as a key player in crafting narratives, experiences, and strategies that resonate with today’s societal challenges.
An approach centered on cultural shift
The concept of “cultural shift” lies at the heart of Spintank’s methodology. It aims to move away from the tensions of traditional communication by grounding strategies in current cultural and social dynamics. This philosophy allows the agency to create campaigns and strategies that do more than convey a message, they actively contribute to transforming behaviors and perceptions.
A wide range of services for holistic transformation
Spintank offers a full suite of services to support its clients in their evolution:
- Brand strategy: Designing brand strategies aligned with organizations’ values and aspirations to strengthen identity and impact.
- Content creation: Producing narratives, formats, and content tailored to various channels and audiences, including innovative approaches such as datatelling and the use of artificial intelligence.
- Digital experiences: Designing digital ecosystems, websites, and apps that deliver immersive, engaging experiences while meeting performance and sustainability goals.
- Responsible communication: Developing communication strategies that integrate corporate social responsibility (CSR) principles, focusing on transparency, ethics, and positive impact.
A multidisciplinary team and open ecosystem
The agency brings together a team of 70 collaborators, its so-called “cultural shift architects”, who combine expertise in strategy, design, storytelling, technology, and innovation. Spintank also draws on a network of hundreds of partners, from startups to public institutions, to enrich projects and deliver customized solutions.
Flagship projects
Notable projects include:
- Redesign of the Paris Airports website: A project aimed at enhancing the user experience and reflecting the spirit of Paris through a modern, intuitive interface.
- Instagram campaign for Air Liquide: An initiative to demystify hydrogen through innovative visual and narrative formats for the general public.
- “Panorama” podcast for APRR: A series exploring regions surrounding highways, strengthening ties between the company and local communities.
- Editorial strategy for MAIF: An internal initiative to unite employees around the company’s strategic roadmap.
