The founders
Alexia and Fanny first worked together in a communications agency: they soon saw that games offered everything their conventional communication tools lacked. What if play could tackle your business challenges?
Philosophy
In 2015, they launched Arcane, the Paris team building agency that supercharges communication through play. Drawing on their previous experience, they take real pleasure in sidestepping the pitfalls of conventional communication with captivating scenarios — and in helping companies talk to their audiences on equal terms.The founders see the human side of play as a powerful asset, in a working world that’s growing ever more virtual. Arcane is an invitation to play together, build connections and give work real meaning.
Winning attention through gamification
Gamification is the art of using games and their mechanics for serious purposes.
It gives work new meaning and brings teams together around the pleasure of completing a mission side by side.
Communicating through play brings plenty of benefits:
More engagement behind your company’s vision
More happiness and motivation at work
More collective intelligence in how projects are run
More loyalty between players
Commitment comes into play
When it launched, Arcane set up its offices at Les Grands Voisins, a Paris community hub built on civic and responsible values. That choice was no accident: Fanny and Alexia make a point of working with eco-responsible, socially committed partners on every project.Working with Arcane means a partnership that respects both people and the planet.
