FIRST STUDIO

Building brands people actually follow.

Your contract is set.
Your brand is not.

Every footballer signs a contract. Very few build what lasts beyond it. First Studio is the agency that handles everything the contract does not. Content. Image. Brand deals. The narrative you control before someone else controls it for you.

Founded by Samuel Diabira and Raphaël Di Giuseppe. 3B+ views. 200+ brand deals. Six years. Zero compromises.

The pitch ends.
The brand doesn't.

Kylian Mbappé earns more from Nike than from any club. Koundé earns from Jacquemus, Adidas, and Zara. Dembélé earned €10M+ off the pitch last year alone. None of that happened because they were good at football. It happened because someone built the infrastructure around them. That is what we do.

Four things. Done at the highest level.

01

Content Production

Most players let the club photographer tell their story. That is not a content strategy. We build a visual identity that makes someone want to follow you before they know who you play for.

02

Social Media

Your follower count is your negotiating power. Every post is either building your brand or wasting your reach. We handle both.

Image Management

Jules Koundé turned fashion into Jacquemus. Ousmane Dembélé collected the Ballon d'Or in a Zegna tuxedo. The athletes who understand image retire rich. The ones who don't retire forgotten.
