Duval Guillaume is reinforcing its online expertise by attracting more talent. In spring 2008 eight new faces will join our organization to provide an even better service to our existing and new clients.

In our full service agencies we’re not into lines, not above, below, nor through. Duval Guillaume is a place where ambitious advertisers and creative talents meet and build brands together. The online expert center represents people working on digital strategy, creative concepts, content in all its forms, user experience and webdesign & webdevelopment.

Michel Thysen is the new Online Manager in our Antwerp offices. He will be responsible for all new business and Client relations, as also for the team management and online strategy. Inès Van Lautem starts as a planning and traffic manager to match work with people. Geert Theys is the technical project manager we were looking for.

Gijs Hoppenbrouwers, Liesbeth Willaert and Manoël Sanchez are web producers (account managers) working on Belgian and international clients, such as Brussels Airlines, Topps, Nikon Europe and Leaseplan. Greet Jans will add value to our user experience team as an information architect. Mara Kockaerts works as a junior interface designer and Olivier Rocq starts as a web developer.  

Duval Guillaume Brussels is awarded with a Grand Clio for the campaign ‘A Blind Call’ for the League of the Blind. It’s the first time a Belgian agency wins a Grand Clio.

The Clio Awards is an international recognized advertising competition, with 20.000 entries from all over the world. They have as strong focus on innovation in the advertising industry and groundbreaking work.

The Grand Clio was awarded in the category innovative media. The jury praised the campaign for its new way of thinking and approaching advertising.

Good news from The One Show in New York: Duval Guillaume Brussels wins a golden pencil for the campaign “A blind call” for the League of the blind. As from today, we’ll be writing with a golden pencil.

The One Show is one of the highest appreciated award concours on the planet. For this year’s 2008 edition there were 25.000 submissions worldwide. As far as we can recall, this is the first gold pencil ever for a Belgian-based advertising agency. For the record: our memory only goes back to halfway the nineties.

Three ‘Best of Activation’ awards were handed out to campaigns created by Duval Guillaume Brussels. These ‘activation’ awards are organised by the European Association of Communications Agencies (EACA) and reward campaigns with an approach that is truly integrated.

The Hyundai i30 Helicopter campaign won silver in the category ‘consumer durables’. The A Blind Call campaign by the League of the Blind was awarded gold in the category ‘non profit & charity’. A Blind Call also received gold from the jury in the category ‘creative award’. Both cases will be sent to the IMC European Awards European.

These awards reward the integrated approach of Duval Guillaume. If you visit our office in Brussels, you’ll see them at the reception desk.

Duval Guillaume was founded twelve years ago in Belgium (1996) by André Duval and Guillaume van der Stighelen. The agency has two full-service offices: one in Antwerp (DGA) and one in Brussels (DGB). Today the organization is regrouped - through the consolidation of other company-owned agencies into the two full-service agencies in Brussels and Antwerp - and now works in truly integrated fashion in marketing and communication services.

Carlsberg “probably the best beer in the world” came out with a new bottle. Duval Guillaume helped spreading the word.

In Brussels and in Antwerp the Carlsberg logo was formed using the new Carlsberg bottles, an impressive amount on each billboard.

Just for once the well known Carlsberg baseline was adapted into ‘Probably the best new bottle in the world’.
