Two-person Nantes e-commerce agency pairing branding with paid acquisition
About Balenö
Balenö is a small creative agency set up in Nantes in 2024. It is a collective of creative people with addresses on rue des Olivettes in Nantes and rue d'Armaille in Paris. The team has two people. The founders are not named publicly.
The agency's aim is to help online brands grow while relying less on sponsored ads. It does this by pairing two disciplines: branding and acquisition. On the branding side it offers brand strategy, art direction, creative production and social media. On the acquisition side it runs paid campaigns and activation campaigns. It also offers website work, SEO, SEA and e-commerce.
Its client list is made up of consumer brands sold online. Named clients include the children's goods brand Rainette, the puzzle maker Puzzle Jour Ferie, the women's well-being brand NO COMMENT, Fnac's Le Vinyliste, Glaz, Bernard and Eddy, Canevas Fatal, the running brand Valone and MAMIK. It helped Puzzle Jour Ferie expand in France and Europe and supported Rainette in a fast-growing market. No metrics are published for these projects.
Balenö has no dental clients and no healthcare or dental page. Its relevance to dentists rests on the general skills it offers: building a recognisable brand, producing photo and video content, and running paid campaigns with careful account management. A dental clinic that sells products online, such as a whitening or aligner brand, or a practice group planning a rebrand, may find these skills useful. A practice that mainly needs local SEO and Google Business Profile work is likely to be better served by a dental specialist.
On La Fabrique du Net the agency has a score of 4.18 out of 5 from two client reviews dated February 2026. The visible review, from a manager at Rainette, describes the agency as serious and closely involved in managing ad accounts, with rigorous follow-up and useful recommendations. The sample is very small. No prices, minimum budgets or contract terms are published, and enquiries go by email or a booked video call. Work is carried out in French.
Because the agency is young and small, dental practices should ask how many accounts each person handles, what reporting looks like, and whether the team has any experience with healthcare advertising rules in France, which restrict how dentists can promote their services.
