What Bansō does

Bansō is an independent digital agency headquartered in Monaco (17 Avenue Albert II, The Office & Co coworking space), founded in 2019 and operating with a five-person team. The agency delivers six interconnected service pillars: App & Web (custom sites and applications on React, WordPress, Angular, Prestashop), Branding (visual identity and editorial design via Figma, Illustrator, InDesign), Social Media (community management and influencer marketing on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok), Aerial Imaging (drone and FPV cinematography across Monaco and Europe), Photo & Vidéo (corporate and artistic content), and Acquisition (SEO, SEA, Google Ads). Pricing is project-based with publicly listed budget tiers (<€1k, €1k–€5k, €5k–€15k, +€15k, or to be defined), and clients engage directly via website contact form, email ([email protected]), or phone.

The client portfolio spans enterprise, government, and SMB customers, with named work for Ferrari (drone), Gouvernement Princier (graphic design and print), Monaco Telecom (collaboration), SHOKZ x Chris Froome (drone and sport photography), and L'Algérino (music drone content), alongside numerous Monaco-area SMBs. Marketing relies on organic social (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook), an email newsletter, and the portfolio website; there are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, parent company, or external investors, and ownership remains private and undisclosed beyond the founding team. The agency's stated value proposition centers on bespoke, template-free design and a mobile-first approach (referencing 54% mobile internet usage), positioning it as a premium boutique studio for discerning Monaco and European brands.
