The Blue Studio Co

What The Blue Studio Co does

The Blue Studio Co, operating as Blue Banana (bluebanana.agency), is a privately held design and development agency headquartered in Lahore, Pakistan, founded in 2020 with a 12-person team. The firm positions itself as a 360-degree creative and technology partner for brands, delivering work across ten service categories: Brand Strategy, Brand Identity, Web & Products, UI/UX, Digital, Print & Editorial, Packaging, Apparel, Illustrations, and Spaces. It operates a project-based, quote-based revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing, supported by a tech stack spanning Python, WordPress, Android, Next.js, Node.js, React.js, Flutter, Medusa, Shopify, and cloud infrastructure from Amazon and Google Cloud.

The agency's client base spans fashion and apparel (Azgard9, Stylers International, Zepel, Ministry of Men), e-commerce (Cremme, VisiOne), sustainable retail (Good Market), and nonprofit sectors (ABS-CBN Foundation International), with a portfolio of 70+ projects executed in 2023 across more than 70 named clients. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, anchored by the agency's website with a 'Work with us' call-to-action, supplemented by case-study content and organic presence on Instagram, Behance, and LinkedIn.

The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent company, management team bios, or financial statements. Operations are described as global in scope via direct website engagement, with no public disclosures of geographic restrictions, certifications, partnerships, or AI/ML capabilities. Customer concentration risk is moderated by the breadth of named logos, but revenue is project-based and lumpy, with no disclosed retainer or recurring-contract metrics.
