House of CealusBrand · Film · Strategy · ResidenceBy application only

MaisonCEALUS

A private marketing house. We take in a small number of names each season, move inside the business, and run everything the world sees of it.

Seed round closed, June 2026
Nº 1The houseParis-cut, built for now

Most brands hire five vendors and get five versions of themselves. Maison Cealus is one house. We take the name, the look, the films and the money, and we make them say one thing, until people recognise you before they read you.

Few

A short list of houses

We keep the roster small on purpose. Every name we take on gets the people who built the work, not a junior team.

Inside

We work from within

We sit inside your business, post, test and put more money behind what works. No decks between us and the result.

Whole

Everything under one roof

Identity, film, strategy and the daily presence. One hand on all of it, so nothing contradicts anything else.

Nº 3The atelierFour lines, one hand

One hand on everything people see.

Most brands split this work across four vendors and get four versions of themselves. At Cealus it stays in one room.

    • Media plan
    • Paid testing
    • Launch sequencing
  4. LINE IV

The same team, from the first sketch to the thousandth post.

Nº 4The ledgerWhat happened when they handed it over

Results, kept in ink.

  1. 1B+views in under 60 days

    A short-notice fight was about to put them in front of millions, and their edits were pulling the wrong audience. We fixed the strategy, the fight made national news and the campaign did six figures.

    King's FuryFight campaign
  2. 75Mviews and 100K new followers

    We built the owner's personal account, tested mass variations until one format took off, then pushed it. 25M views came in a single 30-day stretch, and that attention brought sales to the club.

  3. $100K+in payments in seven days

    All of it came from one story sequence.

  4. $16Ka month, from zero, in under two months

    We tested formats for this SaaS company, doubled down on the best ones and ran them as ads.

  5. 500K+views and 7.5K followers in three months

    Inconsistent posting meant inconsistent leads. We posted every day, and most of the new audience was their target market.
