UBG Digital Media

What UBG Digital Media does

UBG Digital Media is a Lyon-based custom digital agency operating as a SARL (limited liability company) with €12,200 of registered capital, founded in 2013 and structured as part of the Monkees Group network of French digital agencies. The company delivers bespoke digital projects across four service lines: custom web development (websites, web applications, and SaaS platforms), native and cross-platform mobile application development for iOS and Android (including Appcelerator Titanium), Internet of Things and connected objects (with iBeacon/Eddystone proximity solutions and a proprietary CRM-backoffice for consumer behavior analytics), and cybersecurity/maintenance services including security audits, SSL management, and GDPR/RGPD compliance. A live event capture and podcast production service extends the portfolio beyond software development.

The agency operates on a project-based professional services model, with engagement budgets ranging from under €5,000 to over €25,000 and a stated multi-year contract cadence. Customer acquisition is sales-led and conducted primarily through the company website via quote request forms with budget tier selection, supplemented by an active technical blog covering web, mobile, IoT, and cybersecurity topics that serves as top-of-funnel content marketing. Target customers are businesses (enterprise and mid-market) seeking custom digital solutions that off-the-shelf templates cannot provide, including e-commerce launches (e.g., TerraDelyssa olive oil brand) and IoT/beacon deployments.

The company positions itself as a 'human-sized' agency of 1-10 engineers and security experts, emphasizing technology-agnostic stack selection per project, an R&D commitment, and Monkees Group affiliation for resource sharing. Operationally, UBG is regionally focused on Lyon and France, with no disclosed geographic expansion, no external institutional funding, and revenue figures that have not been publicly disclosed.
