Smile is above all passionate and committed men and women who work every day to make digital an accelerator of innovation and progress, while respecting the values that drive us. Over the years and missions, our culture has been enriched and strengthened around 4 great values, the 4 essential ingredients to design ever fresher and more efficient Open Source solutions...

Our four keys to greatness

Open

We’re open to others and the world around us, buoyed by an independent, alternative, collaborative approach that lets us mix and match talent and move forward together. This is a core value we share with the wider open source community, where the emphasis is placed on the power of the collective.

Expert

Because a jack-of-all-trades is inevitably master of none, we focus on tech and what we do best to build experiences and solutions that exceed all expectations. We’re explorers on a mission, obsessed with the idea of pairing excellence with simplicity.

Human

We’re more than just an agency. Smile is a collective of women and men who share the same values and actively enjoy connecting over projects, coffee — and even pétanque.

Sustainable

Working towards a fairer, more responsible, accessible, inclusive and straight-up better world. As experts, we feel it’s our duty to make sure everyone reaps the rewards of the digital revolution, all while treating our planet with kindness.
