At Digital Marketing First in Brussels this October, Emakina once more was one of the key players.

Besides being a main sponsors of this sixth edition of ‘the DMF’, Emakina.BE welcomed the +3000 visitors on its stand, bringing them ‘back to nature with a digital spin’. It was in good company, with Emakina’s The Reference as stand neighbours. The Gent based team invited marketeers, geeks and other DMF folks to show their muscle power, by hitting the mark with the heavy hammer and ring the bell.

A lot of visitors and lively interaction on Emakina’s DMF stand

Quelle Genève?

With this provocative question, Emakina.CH is at the heart of a new debate on the future of the city of Geneva and the region. Both have resisted to the international crisis. Now the time has come to open up to the world, fight populism and protectionism and invent a new international and positive story.

Want to know what the Cupertino gang are cooking?
Then don’t miss the rendezvous with RTL’s web-magazine, “Les Teknophiles” June 11th at 19h00!

With the Apple WWDC 2012 approaching, developers and fans across the world get in a frenzy.
Apple will showcase the new version of its Operating Systems, iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion. Perhaps Apple will unveil a revamped fith-generation iPhone? Some say the new dream device will have a bigger, longer screen! Or will Apple unveil its Apple TV app store? Maybe we will see the thinner MacBook Pro or a new MacBook Air Update (with Retina display)?

After launching the third generation iPad in March, the annual pilgrimage to  San Francisco might once more hold surprises that create a sensation in the world of digital media. As usual, the buzz and Mac Rumors are flying around everywhere…

With all bets on, Emakina’s Chief Visionary Officer Brice Le Blévennec will be watching and interpreting the event as it unfolds. He is a special guest of RTL House, where he will share his insights (and passion) over the Conference content.

Further guests on the show include Frédéric Feytons of TappTic, and Bruno Kesteloot, general manager of MacLine. The show will be aired (in French) monday june 11th at 19:00 Brussels time. Click here to watch it live.

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 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.

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…

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!”
