At Duval Guillaume Corporate we help companies understand who they really are. Which elements contribute to the correct perception of their brand, and how they can communicate their story towards all their stakeholders, in particular to their (future) employees. Building brands & attracting talent in short. To highlight our work and cases in these fields we just launched our brand new site www.duvalguillaumecorporate.com. Go and have a peek. And if you’re interested to know more don’t hesitate to contact us.

To launch the new Olvarit ingredient range (a Nutricia babyfood brand) we selected 20 babies within the Olvarit client database and organized an exclusive baby-tasting-dinner in the famous Belgian Michelin starred restaurant ‘De Pastorie’.

Young parents all over Belgium rely on Nutricia babyfoods every day. And now, Nutricia has found a way to support mums even before their baby is born – with Baby Connection: a unique iPhone app that helps gets the dad more involved in the pregnancy.

Baby Connection works best when you use it as a couple. There’s a mum version and a dad version – and everything each parent adds is automatically synced with their partners’ phone. The app can even transform two iPhones into one big screen.

Have a look at the demo to see how it works:

To launch Baby Connection, we came up with a campaign that’s as unique as the app itself. Have a look at what we did here:

A television spot for viewers to step into, so to speak. `

TMF Travel organises party trips for 16-24 years olds to top party destinations around Europe. To get some extra attention for their latest promotion, they created a unique wild poster campaign: one normal poster of a guy is surrounded by five close-ups of bikinis… in Push-up style.

For the launch of their respective renovation loan, AXA bank has again come up with an awesome campaign. They have created one of the largest and possibly also one of the most beautiful QR codes in Belgium. They have achieved this by placing thousands of different colours of tins of paint to form a gigantic QR code. Anyone who scans in the code will immediately be transferred to the AXA mobile site where they can immediately find out the exact details of what the triple benefits of their renovation loan entail.

Last Friday Geoffrey Hantson – creative director of Duval Guillaume Antwerp/Modem – was unanimously elected ‘creative of the year’ by the Merit Awards jury (consisting of the editorial staff of Media Marketing and members of ACC). Champaign!
