Mill, agence de Communication

What Mill, agence de Communication does

Mill, agence de Communication is a French digital communication and web development agency founded in 2015 by Jérôme Deldon and Gaël Berthier, headquartered in Privas, Ardèche. The firm specializes exclusively in the e-tourism vertical, building custom WordPress websites, brochure systems and availability-aggregation tools for tourism offices (offices de tourisme, comités départementaux et régionaux du tourisme) across France. Its core products include Apimill, a SaaS brochure generator used by 45+ tourism offices; Millcheck, a SaaS availability aggregator launched in November 2023 that consolidates accommodation and activity inventory from multiple providers; Ma Voie Verte, a national portal for France's greenways and soft-mobility routes launched in 2025; and a WordPress Headless architecture offering introduced in October 2025 that combines a bespoke back-office with decoupled frontends.

The agency's business model combines project-based custom web development for individual tourism clients with recurring SaaS subscriptions (via Stripe) for Apimill and Millcheck, alongside ecosystem-level positioning as a shareholder of SCIC Apidae Tourisme, the cooperative that aggregates French tourism data. Mill operates as a private S.A.R.L. with a small team (1-10 employees), is GDPR-compliant, and has not raised external funding. Its brand has been recognized through four consecutive Trophées de la Communication awards (2021, 2022, 2023, 2025), reflecting sustained positioning in a niche where domain expertise and Apidae data integration form the core of the value proposition.
