Emakina Celebrates its 10th Happy Birthday

Oct 10 2011

Emakina is lighting 10 candles…

A project that started in the best web tradition in a garage 10 years ago grew into a listed communication company with well over 300 people working there.

Regardless the economic stormy weather in the past decade, Emakina booked success after success and recorded positive results … reason enough to celebrate and look ahead towards the future.

The intense team spirit and collaboration inside Emakina no doubt explains part of the growth and continued success of the Emakina Group. In opposition to some agency networks where different parts behave like loose atoms, Emakina teams work together closely and create potent synergies. Meetings in Brussels can evolve into skype calls to Antwerp or Paris, or joint online and real world presentations including colleagues from Gent or Rotterdam.

 

At digital Digital Marketing First 2011 Emakina shares its enthusiasm and combines the mood for celebration with dynamic knowledge exchanges…

 

Co-founders of Emakina Brice Le Blévennec and Denis Steisel will give a 10th Anniversary Presentation, in the main auditorium and raise a glass on the future…

 

Several of their colleagues will shed their light on burning communication topics:

  • Digital changing the creative process. How to creatively answer the new customers needs? 
    Xavier Bouillon
    , Creative Director & David Grunewald, Head of Emakina/ Agency
  • CRM & Direct marketing services… Introducing Emakina’s success stories
    Sammy Colson
    , Head of Emakina/ Direct
  • Find out your brand’s character – Play the social media role game
    Karima Wardak, Amélie Sainthuile & Sophie Graillot, Strategy team of Emakina
  • Mobile Matters
    Thomas De Vos, Head of Emakina/ Mobile
  • What about Social media … Should we talk? 
    Audrey Benoit
    , Head of Emakina/ Social

 

So it’s going to be an exciting and busy day. And bubbles all around at 17h…

 

 

Emakina supports the Sida SOS Aids association

Aug 23 2011

Emakina organised an original staff event at the Apéros de Saint Gilles.
The social meeting combined a fun get together with a positive AIDS awareness action.

Emakina’s agency developed several actions for the Sida SOS association (www.sidasos.be). This organization  tries to create awareness amongst young people about aids. So the drink was a good opportunity to give the campaign a symbolic ‘thumbs up’.

 

 

A 1 euro coin is the symbolic element of the campaign. It wants to encourage young people to be screened for aids. At the drink, each participant received a 1 euro coin to pay for their drink.  As this coin then  travels from hand to hand, it touches all. This symbolizes the fact that we can all be infected by aids without knowing it.

Free wifi at Cannes… thanks to Emakinians

Free wifi from Emakina

Let me be your Hotspot!

 

 

For the next few days, we have 7 of our talented team swanning around Cannes, at the Cannes Lions Creative Festival influencing the industry’s thought leaders… and enjoying themselves of course.

But the Emakina presence in Cannes will certainly not go unnoticed. We are offering free wifi (human hotspots) to all other Cannes-ites, in exchange for their business cards! Just catch sight of one of our team, in “Let me be your Hotspot” t-shirts, and offer them you business card – and they’ll give you free wifi access… as long as you stay close (up to 50m)!

Another inspired move from Emakina…

OFFF we go!

Jun 9 2011

On Wednesday, 8 June 2011, Emakina Group proudly launched what will definitely be one of the most amazing websites of 2011—the website of OFFF 2011! This is a true Emakina Group baby with intelligent and creative concept, design and architecture by Design is Dead, by extensive tweaking and tuning by Emakina.BE and intense PHP programing by Emakina.FR.

When we were asked last year if we were interested in concepting, designing, and creating the website for the OFFF festival 2011, to be held in Barcelona, we didn’t have to think about it very long. ‘Hell yeah!’, was the phrase, if memory serves. So we put three young, creative talents on the project and waited for the magic to happen, with a little (well, a lot of) help from their eager Design is Dead colleagues. That it did is easy to see: one look at their fantastic funky web creation proves that great and original minds were at work. Watch out Barcelona—Emakina and Design is Dead are coming!”
