Our story
Agence Bonjour is also the story of its two co-founders, Carolyn and Yulia. Both have extensive experience of working on the ground in France, in the UK and internationally.
While Yulia joined a local agency in Cannes to work as a booker, Carolyn opened her first event staffing agency in the UK in response to the growth of the events and commercial sectors.
Carolyn saw an opportunity to expand into the French market with the many international events taking place there. Meanwhile Yulia, who has become a freelancer and gained valuable experience as an event coordinator, were looking for new opportunities.
They connected by chance on Facebook in 2015 and realised that they had an opportunity to work together.
A few years later, in 2017, the agency officially opened and organised a Gymshark pop-up store in Paris as their first event staffing campaign. What a great start!
Today, Agence Bonjour is a dynamic and growing company, which counts among its partners some of the most prestigious and well-known French and international companies: DIOR, Google, VISA, Bourjois…
Agence Bonjour follows current trends and also accompanies “next gen” and innovative brands such as Zapp, Freshworks, Vans, Tails.com … and the best is yet to come!
