Brussels
Communication agency for international organisations in Brussels.
Branding, web design, marketing and AI automation for international and English-speaking organisations in and around Brussels. Two senior makers who cover the whole engagement between them, backed by a network for anything beyond that. Half an hour from your office.
Brussels is a city of complex audiences.
Hardly any organisation in Brussels speaks to just one audience. A federation has to win over its members while reaching policymakers. An umbrella organisation addresses its member associations and the wider public. A headquarters communicates with customers across the country and with colleagues abroad.
That makes the work here harder in substance than elsewhere. A brand that only talks to one group gets found out fast in Brussels. We build brands and websites that serve several audiences at once, without the story being watered down into something that moves nobody.
Work around Brussels
Already up and running in Dilbeek and Sint-Pieters-Leeuw.
Winsol Brebo installs windows, doors, roller shutters and sun protection from three branches, two of them on the outskirts of Brussels. The craftsmanship was solid, but the systems around it were holding the business back: an outdated ERP, two hundred and fifty emails a day and advertising figures nobody could steer by.
We took on the communication, the advertising and the processes. That’s typical of the work we do here: a better-looking website, and a machine underneath that actually runs properly.
What we do
Four disciplines, one point of contact.
Branding and visual identity
Positioning, naming, logo, visual identity and tone of voice. For organisations that speak to several audiences, we build a brand that holds up in a policy note to government and in a street campaign alike.
Web design and development
Websites that load fast, rank well and are easy to manage. We build in Statamic and Laravel, so you’re not stuck with a plugin graveyard that gets more expensive to maintain every year.
Marketing and visibility
Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO and GEO. For an organisation working in the Brussels region, local visibility is a different exercise from national advertising. We use the right channel for the right goal.
AI and automation
Quotes, enquiries, reports and follow-ups that are still done by hand. We build the automation around them, so your team has time left for the work it was hired to do.
Why us
What a Brussels agency usually won’t tell you.
-
You talk to the people who do the work
There are two of us. Quinten handles strategy, brand, copy and marketing, and Arnaud builds the tech. There’s no account manager in between passing your feedback on to someone you never speak to. That saves weeks on every project.
-
Two seniors, no go-between
The people you meet in the first conversation are the people who do the work. There’s no junior carrying it out and no account manager relaying feedback. Working from home instead of from a building in the city saves overhead, but the real difference is who’s at the table and how short the line is.
-
Half an hour from your door
Arnaud works from Londerzeel, right by the A12. For a workshop, a photo shoot or a session with your team, we can be with you quickly. Most of the work happens online, but the moments that call for a table get one.
-
A backing band for bigger projects
If a project calls for 3D animation, motion design or a specialism outside our reach, we bring in someone from our network. People who know our standards. You only pay for that capacity when you need it.
The capital of the impact economy.
Nowhere else in the country will you find so many NGOs, non-profits, federations and umbrella organisations in one place. Organisations with a strong mission and rarely a marketing budget to match. That’s exactly why we work differently for them.
Adjusted rates, staggered payments and engagements timed to when the funding comes in. How that works is set out on our page for impact organisations.
How we start
From first meeting to going live.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about working with an agency from just outside Brussels.
Are you based in Brussels itself?
We don’t have an office anywhere. Arnaud works from Londerzeel and Quinten from Heist-op-den-Berg, both from home. For an agency that mostly delivers digitally, that changes nothing about how we work together, and it saves you the overhead an office building inevitably costs. For workshops, shoots and strategy sessions, we come to Brussels.
Are you a communication agency, an advertising agency or a marketing agency?
All three, and we mean that. The terms come from different eras of the same trade. An advertising agency made campaigns, a communication agency guarded the message, a marketing agency steered by the numbers and a digital agency handled the online side. With us, it all sits in one team, because a campaign without a brand underneath doesn’t work and a brand without channels behind it goes unseen.
Which languages do you work in?
English and Dutch. For French copy we work with translators and native copywriters from our network, so the text doesn’t read as if it went through a machine. We build multilingual websites as standard, including sites in three languages.
Do you also work for non-profits and federations?
Yes, and we have a separate approach for them. Adjusted rates, staggered payments and engagements timed to when grants or project funding come in. It’s all set out on our page for impact organisations.
What does a website or a rebrand cost with you?
That depends on the scope and on what’s already in place. A new website for a small organisation is a different exercise from a full rebrand with photography and campaigns on top. After the first one-hour conversation, you get a concrete figure instead of a range wide enough to fit anything.
How quickly can you start?
That depends on what’s running at the time. If there’s a hard deadline, put it in your first email. Then we’ll tell you straight away whether we can make it, instead of finding out along the way.
Do you take on one-off projects?
Yes. A campaign, a logo, a set of ads or a technical fix on an existing site can perfectly well be done on its own. Not every problem needs a full engagement, and we’ll tell you when that’s the case.
