What's NEOTERIC
A boutique group of specialised companies.
NEOTERIC brings together eight distinct entities across four complementary worlds: Strategy, Creative & Arts; Digital & Activations; Living & Property; and Design & Culture.
Each entity combines a focused core team with senior expertise and the right talent for each project.
Different companies. One entrepreneurial vision.
The definition
“Recent in origin, new, modern,” 1590s, from Late Latin neotericus, from Greek neōterikos “youthful, fresh, modern,” from neōteros, comparative of neos “new.”
The term “neoteric” refers to something modern, new or innovative. It suggests a departure from traditional or established norms, often associated with being forward-thinking or avant-garde.
The symbol
The Tree of Life symbolises our interconnectedness, growth, resilience, expansion, aspiration and the cycle of life. It embodies the rewards of hard work and the ongoing renewal of opportunities.
Connection to the earth and life’s foundations
Stability and resilience amidst challenges
Expansion, diversity and the quest for knowledge
Rewards of diligence, life cycles and renewal
The symbol underscores the symbiotic relationships among all life forms and advocates ongoing innovation and adaptation.
The origin
GLAM was founded in 2002 by Virginia Naegelin and Michael Sébastien Sevathian, following their respective careers with the L’Oréal Group and Daimler.
Virginia brought expertise in communication and press relations, together with a growing involvement in art. Michael brought a background in business and marketing.
GLAM began as an independent consultancy where their complementary expertise could come together.
GLAM began with strategy, communication, business and marketing. Driven by curiosity and diversity, its work progressively expanded into interior design, art, music, artist promotion and digital.
New entrepreneurial ventures later followed in real estate and property management.
As these activities developed into distinct businesses, NEOTERIC was naturally born in 2023 to bring them together within one boutique group.

Creativity, culture, curiosity and an entrepreneurial mindset have shaped NEOTERIC from the beginning.
We remain independent, deliberately lean and open to new ideas. Each entity has its own identity and expertise, while sharing the same values and desire to create differently.
Conscious living, well-being, respect for the environment, human values and genuine connections are equally part of who we are and how we approach every project.
