    I enjoy following my clients throughout the creative process. From briefing to delivery, from story-boarding to animating. Over the years, working with various talented studios and agencies such as Bonhomme.Paris, Made in Made or Ogilvy Social.Lab, I have built up my sense of Art Direction and animation. I am always looking for the most playful and efficient way to tell a story as I believe there is always a simple solution to convey a message, even the most complex one. I like bringing those stories to life, illustrating and animating them.

    The building blocks by eXperts to create X-factor for your brand.  That is our double XX for your brand.   Our drive is not to do advertising… our drive is to build brands and grow sales. BrandBloxx is a full service network that brings together the needed building blocks to make a brand grow.  We start agency agnostic from the brand needs to map the needed experts as building blocks. So by definition we are servicing against brand growth, avoiding to be stuck in pre-defined advertising approaches.  In marketing we all look for the USP - or the unfair advantage - that a certain proposition  has vs another. That advantage that makes the difference on the end result, which is unique and by definition not that easily copyable. Our Brandbloxx unfair advantage is that we integrate what is isolated. The levels of expertise we integrate are : Branding - Storytelling - Visual Identities Marketing - Campaigning - Always on communication Digital - Content - Omnichannel strategy, creation and production Adding value to brands Brandbloxx adds value to brands because we are local, independant and experts that work together as one team.  How does that work?  The experts work in agencies that are focusses on that specific expertise: for example brand communication, digital, content, brand activation, web design, … They have been doing so for many years. This maximizes the  level of expertise compared to persons being responsible for a domain as part of an all in one agency.   In function of specific brand or business challenges, a tailor made expert  team is built from those agencies with 1 leading contact to facilitate integrated operations as 1 team. This  modus operandi is pre-aligned by all expert agency leaders which assures fluent way of  working. Agencies in the network are Amphion, Magis.agency, BUDA, Pivott, OnePunch, Sculture, Stukken, ...  Accomplishments As agency leaders we combine more than 50 years of company experience with more than 50 years of agency experience. This combined company-agency experience is unknown in networks whilst being of critical importance to understand and address the brand challenges in strategic partnership with the right 360° brand plans. It has proven to be also a driving factor in successful ecosystem operations. This mix also allows us to perfectly integrate brand and business objectives. As such, we have a track record of Brand & Business Growth with an experience of writing over 50 Integrated Brand Plans. Are you looking to further build your brand and business?  We are always open for a talk.

Frequently Asked Questions.


Companies in Brussels can maintain a relevant and effective visual identity over time without frequent overhauls by following these strategic approaches:

  1. Design with flexibility in mind: Create a visual identity system that allows for minor updates and adaptations without changing the core elements. This approach, known as 'flexible branding,' is increasingly popular among Brussels-based businesses.
  2. Embrace timeless design principles: Focus on clean, simple, and versatile designs that can withstand changing trends. Many successful Brussels brands, such as Leonidas chocolates, have maintained their core visual identity for decades by adhering to timeless design principles.
  3. Regularly audit and refine: Conduct annual visual identity audits to ensure consistency across all touchpoints and make small, iterative improvements as needed. This proactive approach is common among leading Brussels-based agencies and consultants.
  4. Incorporate adaptable elements: Include dynamic or seasonal elements in your visual identity that can be updated without altering the main brand marks. For example, some Brussels organizations use color variations to reflect different seasons or campaigns while maintaining their primary logo.
  5. Stay culturally relevant: Keep your finger on the pulse of Brussels' diverse and evolving cultural landscape. Subtle updates to your visual identity can reflect this understanding without requiring a complete overhaul.
  6. Invest in quality from the start: Work with experienced Visual Identity agencies or consultants in Brussels to create a robust, well-thought-out visual identity from the beginning. A strong foundation will require fewer updates over time.
  7. Prioritize brand storytelling: Focus on building a strong brand narrative that supports your visual identity. A compelling story can help maintain relevance even as visual trends change.
  8. Leverage digital adaptability: Ensure your visual identity is optimized for digital platforms, which allows for easier updates and adaptations as technology evolves. This is particularly important in Brussels, where digital innovation is rapidly advancing.

By implementing these strategies, companies in Brussels can maintain a visual identity that remains effective and relevant for years, reducing the need for costly and disruptive complete overhauls. According to a 2023 survey by the Brussels Chamber of Commerce, businesses that regularly refine their visual identity rather than completely redesigning it every few years report 30% higher brand recognition and 25% better customer loyalty.



The process of creating a visual identity in Brussels differs significantly for startups and established companies undergoing a rebrand. Each scenario presents unique challenges and opportunities that Visual Identity Agencies in the Belgian capital must address. Let's break down the key differences:

Startups:
  • Clean Slate Advantage: Startups in Brussels have the benefit of starting fresh, without the constraints of existing brand associations.
  • Limited Resources: Often working with tighter budgets, requiring more cost-effective solutions from visual identity consultants.
  • Rapid Implementation: Faster turnaround times as there's no existing brand to phase out.
  • Future-Focused: Identity needs to be scalable to accommodate rapid growth and potential pivots.
  • Local Ecosystem Integration: Emphasis on fitting into Brussels' startup ecosystem and potentially the broader European market.
Established Companies Rebranding:
  • Brand Equity Consideration: Must carefully evaluate which elements of the existing identity to retain to preserve brand recognition.
  • Stakeholder Management: More complex approval processes involving multiple departments and potentially shareholders.
  • Comprehensive Audit: Requires a thorough analysis of current brand perception in the Belgian and international markets.
  • Gradual Rollout: Often involves a phased approach to implement the new identity across all touchpoints.
  • Change Management: Needs strategies to communicate changes to existing customers and employees.

According to a 2023 survey by the Brussels Chamber of Commerce, 63% of startups in the city prioritized creating a strong visual identity within their first year, compared to 28% of established companies considering a rebrand in any given year.

AspectStartupsEstablished Companies
Timeline2-4 weeks3-6 months
Budget (Average)€5,000 - €15,000€30,000 - €100,000+
FocusDifferentiation & ScalabilityEvolution & Consistency
Key ChallengeStanding out in a crowded marketMaintaining brand equity

Both scenarios benefit from Brussels' unique position as a multicultural hub and the de facto capital of the European Union. Visual Identity Agencies in Brussels are adept at creating identities that resonate locally while having international appeal. They often incorporate elements that reflect the city's rich history and modern European flair, whether for an innovative startup or a long-standing corporation.

Regardless of the company type, successful visual identity projects in Brussels typically involve:

  • Thorough market research and competitor analysis
  • Workshops to define brand values and positioning
  • Iterative design processes with client feedback
  • Comprehensive brand guidelines for consistent application
  • Strategies for digital and physical implementation

In conclusion, while the core principles of creating a strong visual identity remain constant, the approach and considerations vary significantly between startups and established companies in Brussels. Visual Identity Agencies must tailor their processes to meet the specific needs, challenges, and opportunities presented by each unique situation.



Creating a flexible visual identity system that can adapt to different markets or cultural contexts while maintaining brand consistency is crucial for businesses in Brussels, especially given the city's multicultural and multilingual environment. Here are some key strategies:

1. Modular Design Systems

Develop a modular design system that allows for easy adaptation across different contexts:

  • Create a core set of visual elements that remain consistent across all applications
  • Design flexible components that can be adjusted for different markets or cultural needs
  • Use a grid system that accommodates various layouts and formats
2. Culturally Sensitive Color Palettes

Brussels, being home to diverse communities and international institutions, requires thoughtful color choices:

  • Develop a primary color palette that aligns with your core brand identity
  • Create secondary palettes that can be used to tailor the visual identity to specific cultural contexts
  • Consider the cultural significance of colors in different communities within Brussels
3. Adaptable Typography

Given Brussels' bilingual (French and Dutch) and often multilingual nature, typography plays a crucial role:

  • Choose typefaces that support multiple languages and scripts
  • Develop typographic hierarchies that work across different languages
  • Create guidelines for typesetting in various languages to maintain visual harmony
4. Flexible Logo Systems

Design a logo system that can adapt to different contexts while remaining recognizable:

  • Create variations of your logo for different applications and cultural contexts
  • Develop a responsive logo that can scale and adapt to various digital platforms
  • Consider creating a simplified version for small-scale applications
5. Culturally Relevant Imagery and Icons

In Brussels' diverse landscape, imagery and iconography should be inclusive:

  • Develop a diverse image library that represents various cultures and communities
  • Create or adapt icons that are universally understood or easily localized
  • Ensure that visual metaphors and symbols are culturally appropriate
6. Adaptive Brand Voice and Tone

While not strictly visual, brand voice complements the visual identity:

  • Develop guidelines for adapting brand voice across languages (French, Dutch, English)
  • Create a tone of voice that can flex between formal and informal contexts
  • Ensure consistency in messaging across different cultural touchpoints
7. Digital-First Approach

Given Brussels' status as a tech-savvy European capital:

  • Design with digital platforms in mind, ensuring the visual identity translates well across devices
  • Create assets that are easily adaptable for social media and online campaigns
  • Develop guidelines for maintaining brand consistency in user interfaces and digital experiences

By implementing these strategies, brands in Brussels can create visual identity systems that are both flexible and consistent, capable of resonating with diverse audiences while maintaining a strong, cohesive brand presence. It's important to work with experienced visual identity agencies or consultants who understand the unique cultural landscape of Brussels and can help navigate the complexities of creating a truly adaptive visual identity system.
