Bulbul Incubated by EM Strasbourg Incubator
What is the EM Strasbourg Incubator — La Ruche à Projets?
EM Strasbourg Business School is one of the most recognised management schools in France. Its startup incubation programme in Alsace, La Ruche à Projets, is the only incubator created by a grande école in the region. Open to students, alumni and outside entrepreneurs, it supports high-potential projects from idea through to funding.
The only grande école incubator in Alsace.
The incubator rests on three pillars that set it apart from conventional structures:
- Strategic mentoring — experienced coaches from entrepreneurial and academic backgrounds throughout the programme.
- Structured growth framework — proven methodology to validate the market and prepare for fundraising.
- Active network — entrepreneurs and investors in Alsace and beyond.
What the EM Strasbourg incubation changed for Bulbul
Joining La Ruche à Projets at EM Strasbourg isn’t just a line on a CV. For Bulbul, this startup incubation in Alsace was a real accelerator of maturity: we stress-tested our assumptions with experts, restructured our offering and sharpened our positioning in the PR & marketing space.
Concretely, the programme allowed us to:
- Validate our services — by testing their relevance with real clients and refining the granularity of each one.
- Sharpen our positioning — Bulbul is not a generalist agency: we are a bilingual EN/FR PR & marketing agency, based in Cannes, specialised in brand & persona management, film & entertainment, and luxury, hospitality & automotive.
- Build a scalable growth plan — with quarterly targets, key metrics and a clear product roadmap.
- Identify our priority audiences — founders and executives building their personal brand, luxury houses, and film & entertainment players.
The team who supported us: La Ruche à Projets
Dedicated professionals at every step.
Our success within the EM Strasbourg startup incubator is inseparable from the people who made it possible — a team whose breadth of expertise (strategy, finance, marketing, operations) enriched every working session.
Entrepreneurship is a marathon that demands resilience and long-term vision. True to EM Strasbourg’s motto — “Be distinctive” — La Ruche à Projets provides a motivating and demanding environment that pushes startups like Bulbul to raise their game from day one.
Why incubation is a strategic step for a PR & marketing agency
Because 🙂 Our co-founders, Emin and Mustafa, both did their Master’s degrees at EM Strasbourg. The school gave them their first real network — professors, classmates, connections that still shape how Bulbul works today. Choosing to incubate there wasn’t a calculated move. It was going back to where it all started.
That first-hand experience now informs every one of our services: they are built around real operational realities, not generic templates. That is what sets us apart from traditional agencies.
What this experience brings to our clients
- A methodological rigour forged from day one,
- Frameworks tested and validated in a real entrepreneurial context,
- A bilingual EN/FR approach designed for French and international markets,
- A counterpart who has been through the same stages as you.
