About Elitia
Elitia has its offices and studio in Crissier, west of Lausanne. We call this place the house, because it is home to our office, a video and podcast recording studio and, above all, to the people who meet here.
Communications managers come here to prepare a campaign, entrepreneurs to talk about their brand, artists to record, creators to launch a project. Here is our house, what happens in it, who brings it to life and how we work.
Founder, entrepreneur since 2011
Sandro Todobom has been an entrepreneur since 2011. That year he launched a graphic design studio, which became Elitia in 2012. He went on to found Socialize Magazine, a lifestyle and pop culture media outlet from French-speaking Switzerland, and to co-found the Socialize Comedy Club. He teaches communication, content creation and podcast production at CREA Lausanne, HEIG-VD, BiblioSuisse and the University of Geneva.
A native of Fribourg, born and raised in the city itself, he studied in Neuchâtel and Valais before settling in the canton of Vaud. Four cantons, four ways of doing business, which he knows from the inside. His Portuguese roots and his travels shape the way he sees things. He works in French, English and Portuguese.
At Elitia, he leads the projects and remains the clients' point of contact throughout the collaboration, whether that is the owner of an SME or the communications manager of a large company. In the West Lausanne area, he regularly welcomes communications managers, entrepreneurs, artists and creators.

Elitia is a small agency, and that is a choice. Whether you run an SME or are in charge of communication for a larger company, you have a single point of contact, the same person from the first conversation to delivery, and the same one the following year. No change of team mid-engagement, no approval chain, no deadlines that keep stretching.
This size keeps us agile and flexible. You send us a request, we find an answer, and we deliver quickly.
It does not hold us back. A network of more than twenty independent specialists, chosen for each project, allows us to meet all your needs, from brand identity to a national campaign.
Whether you run an SME or you are in charge of communications or marketing, you are looking for the same thing. A partner who meets deadlines, who doesn't change teams halfway through, and who saves you time instead of taking it.
Elitia is a small agency and will stay that way. We are not looking to add staff or chase turnover. We want to be a reliable partner, one who knows your business, follows each project closely and helps you reach your goals.
This size is a choice, and it has concrete consequences for you. Your point of contact doesn't change during an engagement. Decisions are made quickly, with no committee and no approval chain. An urgent request gets a quick answer, not a ticket. And an agency run by an entrepreneur understands what is at stake for an entrepreneur, because it faces the same things.
A first conversation, by phone, by video call or at the house, with no obligation. You tell us about your situation, your goals and your constraints. We tell you whether we can help, and how.
You receive a written proposal, with the scope, the deliverables, the schedule and the terms. Nothing starts until it has been approved.
We deliver what was agreed, with the specialists the project requires. You see the work progress and you sign off on the key stages.
After delivery, we are still here. For long-term collaborations, we set a rhythm of check-ins together, weekly or monthly, and we stick to it.
What we advise you to do, we have first tested on our own brands. With our own budgets, and our own results to answer for. This is where we learn.
A lifestyle and pop culture media outlet from French-speaking Switzerland, founded online by Sandro Todobom in 2016, then in print from 2017. This is where we test formats, social networks, publishing rhythms and brand partnerships before offering them to our clients.
Our podcast and our newsletter, launched in 2026. Fifteen minutes a week on what moves a company's communication forward. What we explain there, we put into practice.
A comedy club launched in Lausanne in 2025, co-founded by Sandro Todobom. This is where we test how to communicate an event, from the announcement to a full house, and how to keep a community alive between two shows.
A card game for real conversations, launched in 2025 by The House of Ideas, a company of the Elitia group. The identity, the website, the social media and the press relations were all handled by Elitia. It is our testing ground for launching a product.
Since 2020, we have produced more than 50 shows, for ourselves and for our clients, with more than 20 million listens in total. Kiss le Podcast, 110 episodes between 2020 and 2025, was our first show and our best teacher.
Elitia Group brings together four brands. They share the same place, the same leadership and the same standards.
