Artefact is a global services company that sits at the intersection of consulting, data science, AI technologies, and marketing. Founded by three École Polytechnique alumni — an ex-Googler, a PhD in computer science, and a former McKinsey manager — we were built from day one to be data-driven, client-centric, and business-oriented. Today, more than 2,500 Artefactors work across 30+ countries from Paris to New York, Singapore to São Paulo, serving 1,000+ clients including over 300 major international brands. We fuse the best talent with advanced technology to create optimal business value through AI and data — and we translate client challenges into tangible results across the entire value chain of organizations.

We are Artefactors: a multi-disciplinary community of over 1,050 data and AI consultants, 350+ software engineers — the largest such team in Europe — 700+ data analysts and scientists, and 400+ digital media experts with deep MarTech certifications. We are not generalists. Every person at Artefact is a specialist in specific data and AI solution fields and industry sectors, working together across regional hubs beyond borders. We learn from each other daily, share knowledge as a matter of principle, and hold ourselves accountable to 10 collective ethical principles in every project we touch. At Artefact, you never work alone — collaboration is not just a value, it is how we operate.

Every company talks about data and AI. At Artefact, we don't talk — we act. We offer a broad range of end-to-end services that help organizations capture the competitive edge of data and AI transformation. In Strategy and Transformation, we build pragmatic roadmaps that align AI implementation with enterprise objectives, design target operating models, and run GenAI Academies, Hackathons, and School of Data programmes to upskill entire organizations. In AI Acceleration, we develop industry-specific and department-level AI solutions — from agentic sales assistants and AI for customer care to supply chain automation and GenAI factories. In Data Foundations and BI, we establish robust data governance, analytics, and self-service BI frameworks. In IT and Data Platforms, we architect scalable, sovereign, cloud-agnostic infrastructure across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Databricks, and more. In Marketing Data and Digital, we orchestrate cross-channel performance using Customer Data Platforms, marketing mix modelling, and media services — as a certified Google Marketing Platform reseller and Amazon Adtech Activation Partner. Underpinning all of this is our proprietary SKAFF platform, which accelerates delivery, and our Artefact Research Center, which bridges academia and real-world AI application.

Our mission has always been clear: accelerate data and AI adoption to positively impact people and organizations. We believe AI is a catalyst for good — for the individuals inside the companies we serve, for the clients and consumers those companies reach, and for society at large. We don't measure success in models built or dashboards launched; we measure it in the business impact delivered, the adoption achieved, and the human potential unlocked. Because if it is not used, it is useless — and if it is not shared, our work is not done.

We are united by four core values that define how we think, work, and deliver. First, there is always a way: we are from the breed of doers, diggers, and makers, because ideas are valuable only when executed. Second, client trust is won on the field: addressing client needs flows better hands-on, at their side. Third, if not used, it is useless: our love for technology translates into a relentless desire for adoption, because true brilliance is about impact, not intent. Fourth, if not shared, our work is not done: sharing knowledge is the best way to complete a mission, and it benefits both our clients and our colleagues. To these, we add a fifth thread that runs through everything we do — we learn every day, because in a field where everything moves at the speed of light, you had better be ready to challenge yourself constantly.

What sets Artefact apart is the rare combination of depth and breadth we bring to every engagement. Our multi-disciplinary teams merge data consulting, data science, AI engineering, and data-driven marketing into one seamless package — a model that breaks silos, accelerates innovation, and produces measurably stronger results. We are technology-agnostic and partner with the world's leading cloud and AI platforms, so we always recommend what is right for the client, not what is easiest for us. Our SKAFF platform and Artefact Research Center give clients access to proprietary accelerators and frontier research. And because we operate in 30+ countries with sector-dedicated Managing Partners, we bring both global scale and genuine local expertise to every project — from first strategy workshop to live AI deployment.

We know that leading in data and AI comes with a responsibility to lead responsibly. Our CSR strategy is structured around three pillars. On Planet, we have committed to concrete science-based reduction targets: −42% on Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030, and −25% on Scope 3 by 2030, with a long-term objective of −90% by 2050. Our roadmap covers sustainable media practices, green mobility, responsible purchasing, high-carbon office transitions, and Green IT. On People, we democratize access to data and AI careers through the Artefact School of Data, support associations that foster inclusion in tech, and run a Global Impact Program that enables our employees to engage in pro bono and skills-based volunteering. On Principles, we hold ourselves to a published 10-principle Data Ethics Charter, and we have earned LabelIA certification — renewed every two years — confirming our adherence to strict ethical and security standards for AI development. We also hold an EcoVadis Bronze medal (65/100, 2025), a CDP Climate Change score of C (2025), and ISO 27001 certification for Artefact France and UK. Sustainability is not a report we publish once a year — it is embedded in how we build AI for our clients through our dedicated Data for Sustainability offering.

We believe the knowledge we build inside Artefact has a responsibility to reach beyond it. Through our Global Impact Program, Artefactors across the world actively contribute to society by taking on pro bono data and AI projects, providing skills-based volunteering, and mentoring the next generation of talent. We support associations that help individuals — regardless of their background — enter tech and data careers, and we collaborate with partners like Le Refuge to use data in service of underrepresented communities. The Artefact School of Data was born from this same conviction: that access to data and AI education should not be determined by where someone starts. By democratizing these skills, we help build a digital future that is more equitable, more innovative, and more inclusive for everyone.

We firmly believe that diversity is the key to innovation and that inclusion is essential to success. At Artefact, we are committed to building one team where every individual is valued for their unique qualities and has the same opportunity to stay and prosper. Our commitment is embodied in three active communities. Women@Artefact is a company-wide programme to develop an inclusive culture, open data careers to women, and increase female representation in top management — with a target of approaching 50% of the payroll being women by 2030. PrideFact embodies our commitment to LGBTQIA+ inclusion inside the company and across the broader data and tech ecosystem, through monthly affinity group gatherings, training, and strategic external partnerships. Disability@Artefact actively removes barriers and fosters lasting inclusion of people with disabilities in our organization and industry. We also train managers to identify and prevent sexism, publish a Group Diversity and Inclusion Policy, and ensure that every data-driven decision we make eliminates bias and meaningfully serves the diverse communities we operate in.
