When Laetitia started the company in 2007, she had a strong vision that smartphones would be a promising bridge to connect the passive, physical world of street furniture, bus stops, shop windows, etc. to relevant digital content, delivering that content to a specific individual, at a specific location, at a specific point in time.

In 2001, she founded a consultancy company to provide operational support in mobile value added services implementation.
