Communication Agency Brussels - Your Partner in Design and Brand

2014-2015 has been a period of growth and action for the Wine in Moderation Programme but also a year of planning for the future bringing new thoughts and ideas.

Starting with a brief explanation of the Programme, with its values and missions, the “Wine in Moderation Programme Implementation Report 2014-2015” then provides a clear understanding of the Programme’s achievements with new infographics, dedicated pages for each National Coordinator and Ambassador Company to present their actions.

A large number of success stories are exposed giving the reader the opportunity to know more about the different events and activities developed by WiM members.

Furthermore, the report brings originality and innovation with it and is available in two formats:
A short version which puts into perspective the primary outcomes per mission of the 2014-2015 period;
An extended version which acts as a window to Wine in Moderation’s journey the last two years.

The WiM Association has selected the communication agency, Page in extremis, as a strategic partner for developing the report and ensuring a stronger alignment between the messages conveyed by the Association and their visual expressions.

Today, online annual reports are standard, but their printed version still have their place, and it does not seem that they will disappear soon.

Let’s examine how one of the best-known organisations in the Brussels Real Estate world handled that matter: citydev.brussels has entrusted Page in extremis with the task of designing, writing, and producing their last annual report in both digital and printed versions.

The results are two vibrant and impactful publications made within a close dialogue framework involving the communication department of citydev.brussels and the Creative Unit of the communication agency.

Fit for the Market (F4M) is up and running!

“Fit For Market” (F4M) is part of the 11th intra-ACP indicative programme (2014-2020) between the European Union and the ACP Group of States.

The specific objective is to enable smallholder farmers, producer groups, farmer organisations, and micro, small and medium enterprises, to access international and domestic fruit and vegetable markets by complying with SPS issues and market requirements, in a sustainable framework.

The aim is to support these companies so that they can benefit from current and future opportunities on international, regional and national markets.

F4M is due to be rolled out over five years (2016-2020) with a total budget of € 25 million (of which € 20 million from the European Union).

F4M comes within the scope of COLEACP’s mission to “develop an agricultural and food product sector (especially fruit and vegetables), that is inclusive and sustainable, primarily in the ACP States and between these countries and the European Union”.

The first half of 2016 was marked by the end of the activities of COLEACP’s two flagship programmes, PIP2 and EDES.
Thanks to the resources made available by the EDF for these two Programmes between 2010 and 2015, companies supported by COLEACP benefited from a 62% turnover increase, creating thereby 100,000 jobs.
Results that paved the way for F4M.

For more information about PIP2 and EDES, you can refer to the COLEACP annual report 2015.

The publication has been designed and produced by the communication agency, Page in extremis in close collaboration with the COLECAP communication team.

Page in extremis helps create and develop each of your publications as an appendage of larger strategic communication plans.

The history of the WCO began in 1947 when the thirteen European Governments represented in the Committee for European Economic Co-operation agreed to set up a Study Group. This Group examined the possibility of establishing one or more inter-European Customs Unions based on the principles of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).

In 1948, the Study Group set up two committees - an Economic Committee and a Customs Committee. The Economic Committee was the predecessor of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Customs Committee became the Customs Co-operation Council (CCC).

In 1952, the Convention formally establishing the CCC came into force. The Council is the governing body of the CCC, and the inaugural Session of the Council was held in Brussels on 26 January 1953.

Representatives of seventeen European countries attended the first Council Session of the CCC.

After years of membership growth, in 1994 the Council adopted the working name World Customs Organization, to more clearly reflect its transition to a truly global intergovernmental institution. It is now the voice of 180 Customs administrations which operate on all continents and represent all stages of economic development.

Today, WCO Members are responsible for processing more than 98% of all international trade.

Since 2004 the communication agency Page in extremis is an official provider of the WCO. The agency provides Annual Reports, Publication, digital publications, the WCO magazine, Powerpoint presentations and videos.

“There is an urgent need to give hope to young Africans, and this hope must be converted into reality to avoid these tragic exoduses and aggressive indoctrination” stated Guy Stinglhamber in the COLEACP 2015 Annual Report.

Following the COLEACP Director, the private sector is a source of hope. Mr Stinglhamber specifies: “COLEACP and its members are convinced that the proper management of their business contributes, and must contribute even more, to the welfare of the entire community. Every entrepreneur, from the micro-enterprise to large multinationals, has responsibility for the socio-economic development of their region. African Agriculture is seeking its path, it must reinvent itself to face up to the challenges of hunger and poverty and to feed the world in a not so distant future.”

The Europe-Africa-Caribbean-Pacific Liaison Committee (COLEACP) is a civil society organisation (CSO) established in 1973 whose primary purpose is to support the development of a sustainable and competitive agriculture and agribusiness.

The association’s 300 members are importers, exporters, consultants and other public and private sector service providers.
Associations of small-scale producers are also represented.
Together they represent 85% of the trade flows of fruit and vegetables from ACP countries to Europe.

From an operational standpoint, COLEACP is a network and a technical assistance tool for the sustainable and inclusive development of the private sector (SMEs) based on expertise and an active training system in 50 countries (outside the EU).

Since its creation, COLEACP has been managing development projects in the ACP agricultural and food sector, financed by donors (mainly the European Union).

COLEACP is also regularly consulted by public and private stakeholders to support them with crisis management (food safety and plant protection).

COLEACP frequently collaborates with the major players in development cooperation:
- the Secretariat of the ACP Group of States,
- the services of the European Commission,
- international organisations (World Bank, UNCTAD, CTA, FAO, OECD, WTO, UNIDO, etc.),
- the private agro-industrial sector and agri-food industries,
- NGOs and research centres, universities and technical institutes.

A special website acts as a hub for all that is related to your event.
It will become your best touch point for saying everything about your event to your prospective attendees: what will your participants obtain from being there? What will they acquire? Who will they hear from? Who will they meet?
You can tell them all that in a clear and concise way immediately absorbable.
But developing an event website is not enough! You also need to think about how to promote your event.

Here are five simple ideas for digitally promoting your event:

1) Make your website easy to find: target relevant keywords when writing the content of your event website. Linking is important: an easy place to start is by linking from social networks back to your event website.

2) Highlight your Sponsors and encourage a connection between your sponsors and attendees. Your sponsors are a valuable marketing resource.

3) Use Email Marketing: correctly used, they can generate awareness and interest, engage with potential guests, create traffic into your event website and keep everybody updated.

4) Blog about your upcoming event. Thanks that you can share additional information with your prospective attendees and generate interest leading up to your event.

5) Trigger Social Media: establish your particular event hashtag! Make it memorable. Short is always better. Check that it is not already used somewhere.
