We’re building nothing less than a benchmark brand company.
In short
Bou is a European brand company working with some of the fastest-growing businesses in the world.
We create, launch, and grow brands through four equally strong domains: marketing, communications & PR, design, and web development. Our operational model combines the best practices of creative agencies, hyper-growth technology companies, and platform economy. Sounds like a weird combo, but it seems we’re on the right track. At least according to these rankings: Bou has been listed as one of the fastest growing agencies in the world (Adweek, 2023), and as one of the fastest growing European companies (Financial Times, 2024).

Operating principles
This is how we operate
Call it like it is
We appreciate direct talk and honesty, both internally and with our clients. The more upfront we are, the brighter the outcome. We always default to action and substance instead of abstract slides and fancy talk.
NPS is our jury
NPS (Net Promoter Score) is our primary way of measuring our work. We track it monthly and ask for brutally honest, anonymous feedback from every single client we work with. Our goal is to reach and maintain an NPS of 80, and celebrate world-class class client happiness as defined by the creator of the metric.
Four agencies in one
The best brands are built on multiple fronts, and the best brand agencies can provide multiple services from a single address. That’s why you can get all your marketing, communications & PR, design, and web development needs fulfilled at Bou. Working with a single agency means less coordination for you, and more ways to get creative for us.
From in-house to full-house
If the ideal creative team for building your brand does not work at Bou, they likely work with Bou. Our extended, full-house team includes 10,000+ curated creative freelancers from 100+ countries. So when your brief requires very specific creative skills, knowledge of a rare language, or niche industry expertise, you still get the full package through Bou and don’t need to shop around.
Shaped by tech
We’re rooted in the European technology sector, based in Helsinki and London. Working with some of the world’s fastest-growing companies has fundamentally shaped our approach to creative work. We’re flexible, laser-focused, fast-to-concrete, driven by results. Because nothing less would reach our goal to be the best.
You can find Bou here. And here. And here. And here. And here.
We're 36 brand professionals working in our Helsinki and London offices, but our extended team of 10,000+ creative freelancers is scattered all over the world. That probably makes us your neighbors.
