• Borderless by default.

The bureau

The bureau is run by Ted Niama Kombo. Years of piloting press for international brands in Paris; activations and cultural moments carried from first idea to full room; a contact book earned in the hours the manifesto keeps. Those years settled one conviction: attention is never bought, it is pulled, from close to the work. Bureau Blanqo is that pull, made deliberate.

Questions

• What does Bureau Blanqo do?

  Bureau Blanqo is a cultural representation house in Paris. In plain terms: talent representation and public relations. We represent artists, creatives, designers, labels and spaces, and we carry their public image: press and earned media, creative direction and styling, positioning strategy and event production.

• What is a cultural representation house?

  A house that represents people and projects across the whole of culture. One roof for the artist, the designer, the label and the space, where a traditional agency would split them into departments. The story, the press, the rooms the work reaches.

• Where are you based?

  The studio is in Paris. The connections and the work are borderless.

• Who do you represent?

  Artists, designers, labels and spaces carrying a point of view the world has not caught up to yet. People who build a world of their own and hold it, from the work to the image. Emerging or established, across music, fashion and culture. The names live on the Clients page.

• Do you work with brands as well as artists?

  Yes. Both sit under one roof. A brand that joins gains the artists who can wear it, play it and put it in a room; an artist who joins gains the brands.

• What does it cost to work with you?

  The engagement takes one of two shapes: a seat in the house, carried month to month, or one defined project with a start and an end.

• How do brands work with you?

  Start at the contact page: say you are a brand and what you need, whether that is a campaign with someone we represent, an event, or press and strategy for what you are building. Or write direct to connect@bureaublanqo.com.

• Do you provide stylists and creative directors?

  Yes, through Bureau Blanqo Creatives: styling and creative direction for campaigns, editorials, music videos, live looks and Fashion Week, with showroom and sample access behind them. Start at the contact page.
