Communication Agency Brussels - Your Partner in Design and Brand

Happy Birthday, Child Focus!

Child Focus was born 20 years ago on March 31, 1998.
Over the past years, the foundation has handled no less than 67,913 cases including 21,360 fugues, 6,003 international parental abductions, 10,488 disappearances of unaccompanied foreign minors, 468 abductions by a known third and 55 abductions or attempts by an unknown third party.

In addition to the treatment of 23,767 reports of suspected child pornography, Child Focus intervened 1,380 times in cases of sexual exploitation of minors.

Today, the Belgian organisation remains vigorously active in the fight against disappearance and sexual exploitation in cooperation with the police, the judiciary and the welfare sector.

“The real challenge remains to eradicate the disappearances and the sexual exploitation in the world,” said Heidi De Pauw, Director-General for Child Focus. That explains why, in the years to come, Child Focus will focus more than ever on the prevention of these phenomena through prevention and awareness actions.

The communication agency Page in extremis wishes a happy anniversary to the Belgian association.

In 2006, Page in extremis had started to collaborate with Child Focus. During many years, the creative team developed various publications and annual reports in close collaboration with the Child Focus’ communication team, and in particular with two exceptional people, Maryse Rolland and Daniel Cornelis.

In 2012, the communication agency updated the visual identity of the association and defined with Dirk Depover, Chief Communication Officer, all the rules for using the various visual components of the Child Focus identity within the framework of a valuable and easy-to-use graphic chart.

Thus, we can say in a certain way that this long-term collaboration marked the DNA of the communication agency.
Page in extremis is very proud and honoured to had had the chance to contribute to a piece of the story of Child Focus.

Based in Brussels, the communication agency can help you define the essence of your brand and formulate its differences in a very positive relationship with its environment and all its stakeholders.

Zoom on a rebranding

After 60 years of history and technological revolution, the home appliance sector in Europe is now represented by the fully modernised association APPLiA.

The significant change was celebrated by more than 200 policy makers, manufacturers, NGOs and other stakeholders on 7th March at the belVUE museum in Brussels.

The renaming and the rebranding is the result of a successful one-year process handled by the APPLiA team in close collaboration with the communication agency Page in extremis.

The preliminary works started with an identity audit and two surveys targeting each the internal and the external stakeholders of the association. Then the effort concentrated on the definition of an effective brand strategy and its alignment with the strategy of development of the organisation.

A series of video capsules with interviews of the APPLiA staff that highlight the fundamentals of the rebranding is available. You can discover the first two at the following links:

Why not broadcast a video to promote your next event?

In 2017, the European Commission and the European Union Agency for Railways launched a series of regional debates, related to the one single process for cross-border vehicle authorisation in Europe.

Five conferences took place, each organised in distinct EU regions:  
- SERA Regional Conference East Mediterranean in Budapest
- SERA Regional Conference Baltic Nordic in Helsinki  
- SERA Regional Conference West Mediterranean in Valletta  
- SERA Regional Conference Central in Berlin  
- SERA Regional Conference North Sea in Amsterdam
The final insights were discussed in Brussels at the SERA Convention.

A video of the SERA initiative was developed and employed as a teaser to communicate to all the attendee the topics to be covered during the series of events.

The video was the result of the creative collaboration between the communication agency Page in extremis and the European Union Agency for Railways communication team.

Did you know that a community pharmacy in the EU serves 3,214 citizens on average?

In 2017, the Pharmaceutical Group of the European Union (PGEU) surveyed its members to understand the extent and variety of community pharmacy services available across Europe.

PGEU shares their highlights of the findings in their 2017 Annual Report entitled: “Measuring health outcomes in community pharmacy”.

PGEU is an independent, international non-profit association representing the interests of European community pharmacists and community pharmacies.

PGEU’s members are the national associations and professional bodies of community pharmacists in 33 European countries including the EU Member States, EU candidate countries and EEA/EFTA countries.

PGEU’s vision is that community pharmacists are recognised and supported by national health systems as key health professionals making a dynamic, sustainable, and evolving contribution to the health of individuals and communities they serve while strengthening European health systems.

The annual report is the result of the collaboration between PGEU staff and the communication agency Page in extremis.

Page in extremis is delighted to benefit from the repeated trust of PGEU since several years. A part of the secret of this successful collaboration is the result of 3 good behaviours of the Page in extremis’ creative team:

Join us at the 2018 ASECAP Days in Ljubljana!

The 46th ASECAP Study & Information Days will focus on the new EU road mobility package and the role of infrastructure investments therein.

As part of the road mobility package, two legislative proposals will be at the centre stage of the discussions during the ASECAP Days in Ljubljana, namely:

- the proposal for a Directive on the interoperability of electronic road toll systems and facilitating cross-border exchange of information on the failure to pay road fees in the Union (the “EETS” Directive);

- the proposal for a Directive amending Directive 1999/62/EC on the charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructure (the so-called “Eurovignette” Directive).

The 2018 ASECAP Days will, therefore, look at how toll the infrastructure investments made by the toll motorway operators respond to the new EU legislative package and what remains to be done to meet and, in particular, finance the mobility challenges.

You will find the two-day conference programme on the event website.

The ASECAP Days website, the Reets and the EETS web platforms are all developed by ASECAP in close collaboration with the communication agency, Page in extremis.

After 60 years of history, the home appliance sector in Europe will be represented by the fully modernised association, now called APPLiA.

For APPLiA’s Director-General, Paolo Falcioni, the new brand image is a logical consequence of an analysis of what the organisation is and how “an innovative, sustainable and forward-looking industry deserves to be represented”.

APPLiA will be aiming at completing an ambitious mission: to represent the sector, to unify its diverse members into a single, dynamic, political actor, to shape European policy and to empower policymakers by providing them with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions.

The new brand APPLiA is the result of a nearly one-year- long rebranding process made within an intimate creative dialogue framework involving the APPLIA’s team and the communication agency Page in extremis.

Since its founding 24 years ago, the agency’s branding process is built on this premise: both the organisation strategy and brand strategy must grow together toward a common goal.

An effective brand strategy presents a central unifying idea around which all behaviour, actions, and communications are aligned. If an organisation wants to be perceived in a certain way, everything must support that desired identity.
When an active brand strategy is created and then implemented clearly and consistently, your brand becomes a real long-term asset for your organisation.

A strong brand enables you to express your core values effectively to your targeted audiences.

Page in extremis helps you clarify and define a brand strategy that explains your organisation’s very existence. The Belgian communication agency helps your organisation to convey the appropriate message consistently in all of its communication.
