Carré Noir is the design agency of Publicis Consultants | Worldwide. Our consultants and creatives help businesses develop powerful brands and appearances, which are concise, coherent and expandable. Thereby we boost the brand impact in all communication channels.

Among our many assets are holistic conception of brand design, strong strategic input and creativity, and a wide-ranging service offer across different areas of design.

The agency was founded in 1973 in Paris. Today, more than 200 people work for offices in Paris, London, Barcelona, Milano, Tokyo, Rome, Torino, Sofia and Berlin. Clients include: sanofi-aventis, SNCF Fiat, Lancia, Colgate-Palmolive, Vivendi, Oxbow, SFR, Thomson and Pernaud-Ricard.

Our passion is brand design. Our goal is to create a difference.

Creating a difference is crucial in today’s market place since there is too much choice, everything looks alike, quality is comparable and many options thus fail to offer distinctive benefits.

We create Difference by identifying and exposing the brand’s core in an exact, credible, visible, perennial and last but not least implementable manner. In the end it is not what the brand says, that counts, but how you feel about it.

By creating difference, we create value. This is what we call Essential Design.
