History

Total Immersion was founded in 1999 in Aubervilliers, France by current CEO, Bruno Uzzan, and former general director Valentin Lefèvre. Their headquarters were in Suresnes, France. As the company grew, Total Immersion established their first international office in San Francisco, California in the United States. After settling their American branch closer to clientele in Los Angeles,[3] they had offices in London, Hong Kong, and Tokyo with over 90 employees[4] in their 5 international offices. The company quietly went defunct in 2014 after a supposed intellectual property sale by CEO Bruno Uzzan.
