WELCOME TO ZEPHYRUS!

My name is Antoine Levy, and I founded Zephyrus in June 2024.


My consultancy takes its name from the messenger of spring in Greek mythology: the spirit of new beginnings and the symbol of the fresh perspectives and innovative approaches I bring to the work I do for my clients.


With over 25 years of experience in sales and marketing across premium beauty and luxury hospitality, I've always cultivated a passion for extraordinary brands and a keen eye for emerging trends. This appetite for uncovering innovative products and off-the-beaten-path destinations, combined with my love for connecting people, form the foundation of Zephyrus.


My ambition is to harness the winds of change, helping my clients navigate the dynamic landscape of luxury and beauty with confidence and creativity.


ZEPHYRUS AT A GLANCE

Small- to medium-sized independent brands often lack the time, expertise, capacity, or resources to expand successfully beyond their core market.

My boutique consultancy specialises in the beauty and lifestyle sectors and offers independent founder-led brands flexible, cost-effective solutions to fuel their growth ambitions.

My Services

What I do

From improving a brand’s presence in its home territory to exploring product and service suitability for a new market or devising expansion plans to enter new countries, my services range from one-off consultancy projects to commercial agency representation with on-the-ground support.

My Approach

I only work with a small number of brands at one single time: they are brands I heartfully believe in, brands with a point of view, purpose-led with admirable values, produced with care and passion, and looking to make a positive impact on our lives and our planet.
