Lemon Creation

What Lemon Creation does

Lemon Création is a full-service communication agency headquartered in Chartres (Eure-et-Loir), France, operating as a private company under the ownership of François-Xavier STERBECQ since January 2022, when he acquired the firm and merged it with his prior agency ComFX. Founded in 2004 by Teddy LEGENDRE, the agency serves both private-sector businesses and public-sector organizations across the Eure-et-Loir region, delivering integrated communication services spanning five pillars: Conseil (strategic consulting), Stratégie (communication strategy), Print (print production), Solutions Digitales (web, e-commerce, motion design, social media), and Vidéo (corporate and promotional video production). Named clients include Cosmetic Valley, Groupe Saturne, Legendre, Etam group, Huhtamaki, Keolis, Habitat Eurélien, and Conseil départemental d'Eure-et-Loir, spanning cosmetics, logistics, lingerie, food packaging, public transportation, local government, and other verticals.

The agency's commercial model is professional services-based: engagements are project-by-project or retainer-based, all quote-driven with no public pricing, and acquired through direct sales outreach, referrals, local business networks, and event-driven community engagement (e.g., Initiative Eure-et-Loir partnership, C'Chartres Basket Féminin sponsorship, Imagine for Margo charity participation). A core team of approximately eight multidisciplinary staff covers strategy, project management, graphic design, UX/UI design, illustration, and digital production in-house, supplemented by interns and alternates.

The business operates as a subsidiary of Groupe Legendre (a diversified conglomerate in transportation and logistics since 1945), holds RCS Chartres registration B 428 679 468 (SIRET 428 679 468 00044), and complies with EU GDPR/RGPD data protection requirements. Its technology stack is creative-production-oriented (CMS, design, motion, video tooling) rather than a proprietary platform; there is no disclosed AI/ML capability, no app product, and no API offering. Revenue, funding, and headcount-trend data are not publicly disclosed; the firm reports 1–10 employees total.
