What bigbang communication does

bigbang communication is a French communication and strategy consultancy founded in 1988 in Besançon, structured as a SASU within the Mehrangarh Group. The firm serves two principal client segments: French public institutions and private-sector enterprises. Its public-sector practice is particularly concentrated in environmental and territorial communication — most notably the French water sector, where it holds a 2021 national framework agreement covering all six water agencies (Adour-Garonne, Artois-Picardie, Loire-Bretagne, Rhin-Meuse, Rhône-Méditerranée-Corse, Seine-Normandie). Named private-sector clients include Ville de Paris, MAIF, Cristel, Jøtul, Clairefontaine, Fondation ARC, Hospices Civils de Lyon, and Aéroports de Lyon, among others.

The agency delivers an integrated portfolio of communication services spanning strategy consulting, brand identity and territory design, digital (websites, social, online campaigns), audiovisual production, motion design, print, and territorial promotion. It operates through three offices — Besançon (headquarters), Lyon, and Rennes (La Newsroom) — and draws on affiliated capabilities within the Mehrangarh Group, notably Aster for audiovisual production and imag'in for packaging. Differentiated intellectual property includes award-recognized brand creations such as La Bisontine (the first branded municipal tap-water identity in France) and recurring publications such as LOOK Magazine and L'Eau dans Tous ses États.

Commercially, bigbang operates as a B2B professional services firm on a quote-based, project-fee model, acquiring clients via direct sales pitches for private accounts and competitive public procurement (marchés publics) for government clients. Its GTM is sales-led and anchored by long-tenured relationships (Jøtul 15+ years, Chabert Duval since 2014, water-agency contracts renewed three times). The firm has recently adopted the société à mission legal status, formalizing its ESG/RSE commitments as part of its positioning.
