A small media co.
in London.

Galangal began as a holding name for a couple of side projects that wouldn’t sit comfortably under any one banner. A YouTube channel. A photography portfolio. A website rebuild for a friend that turned into a long-running engagement. Over a few years, those side projects grew up and started paying for themselves.

We incorporated the company in London to give them a tidy home. Today we’re a small operation — a handful of people, a few freelance collaborators we trust, and a deliberately short list of clients each year. We don’t take outside investment, we don’t want to grow into an agency, and we don’t do work we’re not interested in.

The name comes from the rhizome — the slightly unfashionable cousin of ginger that turns up in cooking from across south-east Asia. It tastes like itself. It’s a little bit unexpected. It works alongside other ingredients without disappearing into them. That’s the kind of company we wanted to be.
