What is "konbini"

Konbini is a multi format media company producing its own mix of culture, art and news content. It promotes online journalism, advocating an emphasis on pop culture and a commitment to develop local emerging talents.

Now a Lifestyle brand, Konbini was originally launched in 2008 in Paris, with two satellites in Los Angeles and London. At the time, its founders, David Creuzot and Lucie Beudet had already broken the ground within the European Media industry. They wanted to move forward by creating a new concept, so Konbini became one of the first websites to put Social Media platforms at the heart of their strategy.

Konbini's aim is to constantly adapt to the needs of the web community by proposing highly visual, multi-format, and intelligent content. Konbini recognises social media as a new power, and channels it to take strong positions in subjects such as combatting HIV amongst youngsters, sustainability in the future of water, and Gender Equality progress. Konbini also regularly showcases works by emerging artists across multiple disciplines and offers sponsorships to both niche cultural events and programs with international visibility with household names like Michel Gondry.

Konbini has offices in Paris, London, New York and Mexico. It is also expanding its network of journalists and collaborators in order to spread its initiatives worldwide. The company has its own creative in-house production studio, a global editorial team and brand strategists and counts collaborators including Apple, Chanel, Nike, Netflix and Coca-Cola.
