What 109 L' Agence does

109 L'Agence is a Paris-based independent communication agency founded in 2007, structured as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with €20,000 registered capital. The firm operates from a single office within the WOJO coworking space at 82 avenue du Maine, Paris 14e arrondissement, with a core team of 10 specialists supported by a curated network of external photographers, illustrators, motion designers, and eco-responsible printers assembled per project. Led by Présidente Isabelle de Béthencourt and Directrice générale Laurence Halperin, alongside a management team that includes Directeur digital Benjamin Boyadjian and Directrice artistique Flore Rostaing, the agency delivers five integrated service lines: Print, Digital, Internal Communication, Video, and Branding.

The revenue model is exclusively project-based professional services, billing clients through daily rates (taux journalier moyen, TJM) per team member with no public price list. Client acquisition is direct and sales-led via the website contact form, phone, in-person meetings at the Paris office, and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram); there are no resellers, marketplaces, or channel partners. The agency does not operate a proprietary technology platform, deploying standard industry tooling including Webflow for website builds, WordPress for some client sites, and Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects for motion design). All production is conducted under the agency's 18-year operating track record, which it uses as a credibility anchor.

The client base consists of 80+ large French enterprises and institutions spanning banking (Crédit Agricole, LCL, Nexecur), insurance (Generali, La Médicale, Pacifica, CPRAM), media (France TV Université, France TV Outre-mer), defense/automotive (Arquus), environmental services (VEOLIA), real estate (My Home Connexion), hospitality (Accor, Buffalo Grill), food services (Elior), and others. The agency claims 200+ positive-impact projects delivered annually and emphasizes verified eco-responsible practices—including vegetable-based inks, certified paper, low-carbon digital output (0.18 g CO2 per homepage page view), Ecovadis 2024 and Provigis Bronze certifications—as a differentiator in the French B2B communication market.
