Digital Mate

What Digital Mate does

Digital Mate is a privately held French immersive communication agency founded in 2007 and headquartered in La Brède, France, with regional coverage in Bordeaux, Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Toulouse. The company delivers a multi-line digital services portfolio organized around four pillars: 360° virtual tours (built on Matterport technology), augmented and virtual reality experiences, AI training and consulting, and traditional digital services (websites, mobile applications, visual identity, photo/video/drone). Core production includes digital twins of physical spaces with interactive hotspots, VR training simulators with pedagogical engineering, and Web 3.0/metaverse projects via the Metaverse Mate subsidiary launched in 2022.

The agency's client base of 300+ spans hospitality (Les Sources de Caudalie, Hôtel & Spa Les Glycines), aviation (Air France-KLM), logistics (Groupe La Poste), insurance (Inter Mutuelles Assistance), media (M6, W9, TF1, France Télévision, Universal Music, L'Equipe), retail (Leroy Merlin), banking (Banque Populaire), and regulated professions (doctors, lawyers, notaries). The co-founders, Jérôme Coutou (Development Director, Sup de Co La Rochelle) and Grégory Dayon (Artistic Director, ECV Bordeaux), continue to lead the firm 17 years post-founding, and headcount remains in the 1-10 range.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based engagements with tiered unit pricing on virtual tours (from €600 HT for sub-300 m² spaces, €700 HT for 300-1,000 m², €1/m² above 1,000 m²), drone services starting at €1,000 HT, and an emerging subscription option at €40 HT/month over 24 months. AI consulting, training, and development are quoted on a professional-services basis. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct outreach (phone, email, Calendly), event-driven thought leadership by Jérôme Coutou on AI and digital transformation, and SEO-optimized location landing pages across major French metros. The company is founder-led with no disclosed external funding, no parent, and no M&A activity beyond the 2009 Touticom acquisition and the 2022 Metaverse Mate launch.
