A fruitful harvest for Emakina Group agencies at the WebAwards 2008 :
- “Outstanding Website” for BrusselsAirlines.com. As online sales account now for 30% in the total turnover of this airline company, we’re quite proud to build and manage this e-commerce website that will get new developments in a near future.
- Also in the “Travel” category, our French colleagues of Groupe Reflect received a “Travel Standard of Excellence” for CityShare. This website can be described as a bespoke cityguide that provides local insights (bars, restaurants…) into cities where the Novotel hotel chain is present. All of these “bunches” are brought and commented by users themselves in a “Web 2.0″ spirit.
- In the “Real Estate” category, Immoweb received a “Real Estate Standard of Excellence”. This distinction highlights the long-term relationship we’ve built over the years with the leading real estate portal in Belgium.
- Last but not least, we won a “Consulting Standard of Excellence” for the new international website of consulting company Krauthammer.
On a side note, Emakina is not the only Belgian company rewarded this year by this award competition: the folks at ContactOffice are the recipients of a “ASP Standard of Excellence” for the new Ajax version of their virtual office. Congrats!
If you’re among the early adopters of the iPhone (aka the perfect end of the year gift for tech freak), our French agency groupe Reflect has developed a special version of Libération called Libération Expresso iPhone. The main asset is you can use it online as offline: just launch the app before leaving your home in the morning to download the content and read it wherever, whenever you want on your iPhone without the need of any Internet access.
Speaking of Libération, this French newspaper proposes today a special issue on Belgium with more than 20 pages bringing a fresh look at the current political crisis. Worth reading if you’re not familiar with the countless mysteries that makes our country so exotic for the French .
A nice interview shooted by Rodrigo Sepulveda, CEO of Vpod.tv. Brice Le Blévennec (Emakina) and Manuel Diaz (groupe Reflect) tell everything about the recent financial operation between the two companies.
The Express-Expansion group has selected our colleagues from groupe Reflect to implement a Movable Type blogging platform. Probably an exciting experience to follow for those interested in the future of media and journalism.
We’re very pleased to announce that groupe Reflect is now a member of Emakina Group. Located in Paris and Limoges, our 17 new French colleagues have a strong background in Web 2.0 and serve large accounts like Legrand, Nike, L’Oréal or Danone (have a look at their weblog which provides a good insight into their their corporate culture). With this new acquisition, our European network makes a new leap forward and totals more than 160 employees, spread over 3 countries and 5 agencies: Emakina, B. On The Net, Design is Dead, SunTzu and, since yesterday, groupe Reflect.
