101 Studios is a Luxembourg-based design and communications agency specialising in marketing, branding, and digital communications for municipalities and public institutions. With direct experience working with Luxembourg communes and cultural bodies, 101 Studios helps municipal decision-makers communicate their identity, attract residents and visitors, and build civic engagement.
Municipal marketing in Luxembourg is a strategic priority. Communes across the Grand Duchy compete for residents, talent, tourists, and investment in one of Europe's most internationalised and mobile societies. 101 Studios partners with Luxembourg municipalities to design the communications, digital presence, and campaigns that make that competition winnable.

How does 101 Studios approach municipal marketing in Luxembourg?
101 Studios starts with identity. Before designing a website or writing a campaign, the team defines what makes the commune genuinely distinctive and who it is trying to reach. Every communications output (digital, print, or experiential) is built on that foundation.
The work is practical and measurable. 101 Studios designs municipal websites that are multilingual, accessible, and optimised for search. It produces visual identities that work across all touchpoints. It develops campaigns (social, print, and event-based) that are targeted to specific audience segments and tracked for performance.
The approach is built on direct experience. Working with Commune de Steinfort on its digital presence and CI, with Commune de Strassen on its visual identity refresh, with Ville d’Esch’s Den Escher Blog as a promotional platform for the local economy of Esch-sur-Alzette, as well as many other projects, 101 Studios has developed a clear understanding of what Luxembourg communes need from their communications and how to deliver it.
Beyond brand and campaign work, 101 Studios integrates modern web technologies, intranet platforms, and artificial intelligence into its municipal communications offer. Commune websites built by 101 Studios are designed for long-term manageability with content management systems that non-technical staff can easily operate. Where relevant, 101 Studios implements intranet solutions that streamline internal communications between municipal departments, reducing administrative friction and improving service delivery.
If desired, AI tools are applied at the content production stage or at the analytics stage, where they surface insights from resident engagement data that would otherwise go unnoticed, or can be provided to the commune’s themselves to serve their specific needs. The result is a municipal communications strategy that is not only well-branded, but genuinely efficient.
