CIDIAN

FROM CULTURE TO BUSINESS

More than a character.
A cultural world with stories to tell.

Our IP work begins with culture. A clear purpose and character logic guide visual design, storytelling, products and communication.

We work with brands, cultural tourism projects, institutions, content platforms and schools. Scope, intellectual property and licensing are defined in the agreed project plan and contract.
