What Bacchus Agency does

Bacchus Agency (legal entity: Bacchanalia Ltd) is a global creative communications agency founded in 1998 in London by Anouschka Menzies and Charlotte Lurot. The firm operates an integrated service portfolio organized around four pillars — Define (strategy, advisory, brand messaging, consumer insight), Create (brand identity, campaigns, partnerships, content), Activate (strategic communications, live event production, brand experiences), and Amplify (VIP and UHNW engagement, KOL and influencer engagement, digital and social strategy). Bacchus serves enterprise clients in luxury hospitality, fashion, beauty, food and drink, and design, with a particular specialization in engaging ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNW) and Very Important Consumers (VIC) for luxury brands. The agency's service is delivered through 16 teams across 7 offices in London, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha.

The business model is professional services revenue from customized B2B engagements with luxury brand clients, sold through direct enterprise relationships rather than disclosed pricing or product tiers. There is no proprietary technology platform; Bacchus is described as a service agency without disclosed AI or technology components, with no patents, no APIs, and no disclosed data assets. The customer base includes named enterprise clients such as Four Seasons, Diageo Luxury Group, RH (Restoration Hardware), Burberry, Dior, Chanel, Auberge Resorts Collection, Zuma, China Grill Miami, and the London Design Festival. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting luxury brand executives and marketing leadership, with portfolio marketing via Instagram and the company website.

In June 2026, Bacchus was acquired by Mazarine, a French global creative group founded over 30 years ago by Paul-Emmanuel Reiffers with over 500 employees across Paris, Shanghai, New York, Dubai, and Milan, and owner of fashion magazine Numéro. The acquisition repositioned Bacchus as a subsidiary within a larger creative communications network, citing the strategic rationale of strengthening ultra-high-net-worth engagement for luxury brands facing slower growth and declining Chinese consumption. The firm employs over 100 staff across its global offices and is privately held with no public listing and no disclosed funding rounds.
