Agence DGH

What Agence DGH does

Agence DGH is a Swiss branding and communication agency founded in 2022 and formally incorporated as L'Agence DGH Sàrl in 2023. The agency operates from offices in Vevey and Lausanne, serving clients primarily in French-speaking Switzerland (Romandy). It offers seven core service pillars: branding, strategy, social media management, graphic design, web design, production (including drone photography), and event organization, positioning itself as a full-service outsourced marketing department for small and medium-sized Swiss businesses.

The revenue model combines one-time project fees and flexible hourly packages. Branding mandates are tiered from CHF 4,500 (Branding Essentiel) to CHF 9,500+ (Branding Signature), while websites range from CHF 3,500 (one-page) to CHF 5,500+ (showcase), with custom 10+ page builds on quote. Hourly packages—Bronze (10h/CHF 1,800), Silver (20h/CHF 3,000), and Gold (50h/CHF 6,500)—offer clients ongoing access to design, social media, and production services at discounted rates of CHF 130-180/h versus a CHF 200/h standard rate, with two-year validity. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer via website quote forms, free first consultations, referrals through the BNI networking group, and an active social media presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

Technically, the agency uses Elementor as its primary web development platform alongside standard graphic design tools and photography/video production equipment including drones. The team comprises five to six members: founder/director David Girardin, marketing lead Margaux Gigon, project manager Marco Locatelli, graphic designer/art director Émilie Rouchy, junior designer Emanuele Aurelio, and a 'Happiness Manager' (Yoda, likely the office dog). Disclosed customer evidence includes 100+ completed projects and 55+ clients across diverse sectors—biotech consulting, construction, real estate, F&B, automotive, jewelry, and facility services—with no apparent concentration in any single industry. The company is privately held, founder-owned, bootstrapped, and operates exclusively in the Swiss domestic market.
