What Kardinal T does

Kardinal T is a private French SARL (capital €10,000, RCS Toulouse 823605183) operating since 2016 as an integrated online and offline marketing and communication agency. Headquartered in Toulouse at 55 avenue Louis Bréguet with a secondary office in Paris, the firm is built around a small, multi-disciplinary team of approximately 12 members spanning artistic direction, technical direction/full-stack development, AI engineering, traffic management (SEO/SEA/SMA), and project management. Its service catalog is organized as a 360° campaign stack: marketing and editorial consulting, art direction and graphic design, end-to-end video production (including 3D, motion design, and drone capture), website and digital solution development (WordPress, Laravel, custom AI integrations), natural and paid traffic acquisition (the agency is Google Partner certified), and stand/space design for trade shows and showrooms.

The company's commercial activity is anchored in aerospace and industrial B2B marketing, with a documented enterprise client roster that includes Airbus, Latécoère, ATR, Dassault Aviation, Safran, Stelia Aerospace, Collins Aerospace, NavBlue, Flying Whales, and Potez Aéronautique, alongside diversified accounts in construction (Demathieu Bard, Eiffage), food & beverage (Le Moulin du Pivert, Les Chemins du Pain), logistics (Newrest, GLS), healthcare (IUCT Oncopole), energy (Total Energies), and consumer goods (BIC, Unilever). Go-to-market is sales-led direct engagement under custom project-based pricing; billing is structured around multi-year contracts. The firm has also extended into proprietary technology through the RENOCOPRO sub-brand, a digital platform dedicated to energy renovation of co-ownership buildings.

Kardinal T has integrated AI capabilities into its service offering, including generative AI, RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), Python development, OCR-based task automation coupled with ERP integration, and computer vision (a case study with Elter for graffiti detection on trains). The agency participated in a strategic consortium with Air France Industries, Ubisoft, and Orange for Latécoère's LiFi aviation entertainment project. It is founder-led by Jean-Baptiste Levesque (Publication Director and Digital Marketing Manager) and operates as an independent, privately held entity with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.

• Havas Paris: Paris-headquartered creative agency offering brand strategy, advertising, digital and content services across B2B and B2C. Overlaps with Kardinal T's full-service French agency model and shares similar enterprise client targets.
