Thibaut de Longeville

Thibaut de Longeville (born 1974) is a self-taught writer, filmmaker, creative director, brand marketer and entrepreneur.

De Longeville started out in 1989 as a columnist for No Way, France’s first skateboarding magazine, reporting on skate videos, graphics and threads of what was then still an underground culture. Whilst still in school, he became assistant editor-in-chief of the youth publication, which carried articles about music, graffiti, street culture, street fashion, comic books, films and videos.

In 1991, he worked as a consultant for Warner Bros. to help market motion pictures like New Jack City (while playing character Gee Money’s French dubbing voice) and documentaries like Listen Up : The Lives Of Quincy Jones to French audiences. At the same time, De Longeville worked as a production assistant at music video production companies in Paris and in New York City, working with Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Fab 5 Freddy and Brett Ratner, and collaborating on shows like Yo! MTV Raps.

In 1995, at the age of 21, he founded 360 Communications with skateboard teammate and graphic designer Alexander Wise, graffiti-artist and designer Mode 2 and a group of photographers, directors, copy-writers and music composers.

360’s two first projects were designing the visual identity for the Tour de France’s new mountain bike event, Le Tour VTT, and organizing an aerosol art tribute to The Rolling Stones in conjunction with Virgin Records and Agnès b., featuring the works of Mode 2, Jay One, Futura, Echo, Jonone, Sharp and the late A-One.
