What BABEL does

Babel is a private full-service creative and digital advertising agency founded in 2009 in Bursa, Turkey, by Faruk Çubuk and Murat Bilir. It operates from two Bursa locations: a creative office in Dobruca and an R&D office within Ulutek Technopark in Nilüfer. The agency delivers an integrated 360-degree offering across five core pillars — branding and corporate identity, website and mobile application design/development, graphic design, digital marketing, and production (photo, video, animation, motion graphics). Its stated technology stack includes React, Vue, Laravel, NodeJS, PHP, Angular, Shopify, WordPress, and Figma, with AI-powered content integrations and a proprietary low-impact website capability that reduces data transfer by up to 70% while maintaining accessibility for color-blind and low-spec-device users.

The agency serves a mix of startups (Trowas, Marinover) and enterprise or institutional clients (Orex, Sefine Shipyard, Dent Group, Dakar Aeroport, Chace People, Latro, Etki Liman), spanning automotive, healthcare, maritime, energy, tourism, retail, aviation, and trade fair sectors. It has executed 700+ projects for 250+ brands across 17 years, with named engagements in Senegal, Luxembourg, the UK, the USA, and Brazil evidencing cross-border reach despite no overseas offices. Revenue is generated through custom project-based fees and retainers with multi-year contract potential; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Babel's competitive positioning rests on its award profile (25+ recognitions including Horizon Interactive Awards Gold, Muse, Golden Spider, FWA, and Clutch Top 1000 Global Agencies), its patented Vibuy video eCommerce platform, its sustainability/accessible web differentiator, and its R&D affiliation at Ulutek Technopark. The company is privately held by its two co-founders with no disclosed external investment, parent entity, or subsidiary structure.
