BDSA LAgence

What BDSA LAgence does

BDSA L'Agence is a privately held, full-service communication agency founded in 1982 and headquartered at 63 Quai George V, Le Havre, France. The firm is operated by the Dubosc family, with Benoit Dubosc as Président du CA and Alexis Dubosc as Directeur Général, and employs 18 multidisciplinary professionals across strategy, creative direction, graphic design, web development, and motion design.

The agency delivers end-to-end communication projects organized around five service lines: Stratégie & Conseils (audits, communication plans, positioning), Identité Visuelle (naming, logos, brand systems), Création Graphique (illustration, publishing, packaging, signage), Communication Digitale (digital strategy, community management, inbound marketing, websites, UX/UI, custom development, e-commerce, mobile applications, webmarketing), and Vidéo & Motion Design (institutional films, video reports, advertising spots, motion graphics, educational animations). Underlying technology is built on open-source Drupal CMS with RGAA (French accessibility) compliance and responsive design, supplemented by custom web and e-commerce development.

BDSA L'Agence operates on a project-based professional services model with quote-based, multi-year pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct client engagement, targeting a horizontal mix of start-ups, SMEs, large enterprises (notably EDF, TOTAL, Transdev, Mauboussin, HAC Football, Novius), and local authorities (Ville du Havre, Région Normandie, LiA public transport). Distribution is regional, concentrated in the Normandie geography around Le Havre and Rouen, with no demonstrated expansion beyond that perimeter. Strategic partnerships include a multi-year collaboration with event operator DP Events for joint event execution.
