What is Bizon?
You know Amazon? That’s a good start! The giant is at the peak of its global conquest, dominating international commerce. As the number one in e-commerce, Amazon sees half of the French population visiting the platform at least once a month. Today, virtually everything is sold there. From your Christmas gifts to cleaning supplies, you’re likely to find it all! However, the line between everything and anything is thin. Many brands, despite offering high-quality products, struggle to establish an effective presence.
That’s where we come in.
Bizon is the first agency specialized in helping brands thrive on Amazon Europe.
Our mission:
To empower brands of all sizes, whether they’re already in the e-commerce sector or not, to sell their products on Amazon Europe in the most optimal way.
Our story:
Founded in 2017 by Guillaume Rigallaud, Bizon grew from 0 to 70 employees and €11 million in revenue in less than five years. In 2022, the startup was acquired by Publicis, the world’s third-largest communications group.
Bizon now consists of 70 Amazon experts within a larger team of over 1,000 Publicis talents, spread across five offices in France: Paris, Lille, Lyon, Rennes, and Montpellier. Whether they’re building strategies or launching campaigns for their clients, these talents test, develop, and challenge the latest technologies, pushing the boundaries of the media agency sector to ensure continuous evolution.
Publicis Media is, above all, a human adventure, a united collective, innovative projects, and an ever-evolving work environment to enhance the skills of its talents.
