We don't just make animation. We build IP and Worlds to live in.
Nikopicto is an IP creation and animation studio born in Paris, grown in Hong Kong.
We design characters people fall in love with, and universes that brands, retailers, and fans want to live inside.
For over 20 years, across Paris, London, Los Angeles, and Asia, we have partnered with the world's most ambitious brands, earning Cannes Lions shortlist, Eurobest, and EPICA awards along the way.
But our most exciting work goes further than a brief.
We build original IP, characters conceived from the first sketch with a full life ahead:
animation, merchandise, licensing, retail activations, toys. We design them to be loved for years.
This is where we live: at the intersection of storytelling, brand strategy, and world-building.
WHAT WE DO
IP Creation & Licensing:
Original characters and universes, from concept to style guide, animated series, and licensing strategy.
CG Animation & Film:
Cinematic quality, French art direction, Asian sensibility. For advertising, brand content, and our own award-winning shorts.
Brand Character Development:
We help brands find their face, then roll it out across motion, print, digital, and retail.
Immersive Experiences:
AR, large-format installations, interactive retail. We bring IP into physical spaces where audiences step inside the story.
AR, large-format installations, interactive retail. We bring IP into physical spaces where audiences step inside the story.
We believe the most powerful thing a brand can have is a character the world wants to meet again. That's what we make.
