In 1991, he worked as a consultant for Warner Bros. to help market motion pictures like New Jack City 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.
