MONOPO LONDON LTD

What MONOPO LONDON LTD does

MONOPO LONDON LTD is the London operating entity of monopo, a design-driven creative agency originating in Tokyo. The London office was founded in 2019 by Mélanie Hubert-Crozet (Creative Director) and Mattijs Devroedt (Managing Director) and is registered as a private limited company in England and Wales (Company no. 11843590). The agency operates as a collective of approximately 58 creative professionals across four offices (London: 13, Tokyo: 40, Paris: 3, NYC: 2), offering professional services rather than software products.

Core service lines span branding (brand strategy, visual identity, copywriting, creative direction), communications (advertising, print, social media, photography and film, art direction, retail, asset production), and digital (web design, augmented reality, digital experiences, spatial design, installations). Technical capabilities include 3D design, motion graphics, WebGL, CGI, WebAR/VR, and bespoke web development, often combined with analogue-digital hybrid art direction. Notable project work includes AR campaigns (YONEX ASTROX 88 S&D with 500,000+ users), WebGL-interactive brand sites (Cellular Agriculture Society), and spatial brand activations (Hôtel Onitsuka Tiger, YONEX All England Athlete Lounge).

The business model is professional services with custom project-based pricing and multi-year contract cadence. Revenue is generated through bespoke engagements with global enterprise brands (YONEX, Barbour, Canada Goose, Onitsuka Tiger, Kodama Capital, Lin Dan, Badminton England) plus select non-profits, startups, and SMBs (CAS, Ghost, Tacos Padre, NKORA Coffee, OUTFRY). New business is sourced through website inquiries, industry referrals, and earned media in design publications (Awwwards, FWA, Design Week, It's Nice That, Creative Review, Communications Arts). No public pricing, no disclosed revenue, and no external funding have been reported.
