From Scratch

The inception of Bonjour et co was anchored in a compelling vision that revolves around three fundamental values, as attributed to Alexandra Kemp, namely – Customer Focus, Continuous Improvement, and Collaboration. These principles serve as the guiding force for the company’s endeavors, shaping the very essence of its business approach.

The origins of what has now become Bonjour et co can be traced back to 2017, initially operating under the name “Social Media Now.” Alexandra Kemp, the visionary behind this evolution, embarked on this journey in response to a deep desire for more meaningful career fulfillment. A fortunate chance to manage the social media and website presence of a high-end online rug business presented itself in August of that year.

She dedicated herself to serving luxury and high-end businesses during this time, building a space for herself in the competitive market as her network, knowledge, and insights began to take shape.

The narrative took a significant turn in 2019 when Alexandra relocated from South Africa to Germany, seeking to enhance her expertise in high-end hospitality and e-commerce. Her goal was not only to acquire industry-specific knowledge but also to extend her services to high-end and luxury hospitality enterprises.
