What Indexel does

Indexel is a privately held B2B digital communication and consulting agency founded in July 2000 and headquartered in Paris (10 Passage du Chantier, 75012). The firm serves two principal verticals: IT-sector software publishers, ESNs (IT services firms), integrators, and managed service providers; and financial-sector private equity, asset management, and sustainable finance clients via its specialized Indexel Finance division. Core offerings span four integrated service lines — branding, web development, digital campaigns (ABM, marketing automation, paid media), and video/podcast production — delivered through a partner-led engagement model under the proprietary 'Smarter than Louder' positioning.

Underlying capabilities include an AI-integrated creative workflow that embeds third-party generative tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Midjourney) into content, visual, and campaign production, governed by a published AI usage charter. Technical stack features WordPress CMS-based website development with eco-design principles, HubSpot for marketing automation, Google Partner-certified paid search execution, and two internal audiovisual studios (Le Studio du Passage, La Prod du Passage) that provide in-house video and podcast production. Adjacent assets include the Marketris market intelligence platform and the data visualization, RGPD compliance, and digital accessibility (83% RGAA 4.1.2 conformance) capabilities built into the web practice.

The business model is professional services revenue generated through consultative, project-based engagements priced via custom quotes rather than published tiers. Distribution is direct B2B sales with senior-level engagement targeting enterprise and mid-market (ETI) buyers. The company is independent and founder-led, with François Fossati as Directeur général; no external funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed. Certifications include HubSpot Partner, Google Partner (Badge ID: 3278045920), EcoVadis sustainability assessment, RGPD/GDPR-aligned data handling, and partial RGAA accessibility conformance.
