American companies have deep and longstanding ties in Europe

In 2017, U.S. investment in Europe totalled more than € 2 trillion and directly supported more than 4.7 million jobs.

The AmCham Eu’s publication “Case for Investing in Europe 2018”, written by Joseph Quinlan, Senior Fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations, Johns Hopkins University, shows that Europe is still the world’s largest economy and continues to offer tremendous investment opportunities for American business.

Joseph Quinlan lays out why Europe and the United States are stronger together and describes the deep ties that bind both sides of the Atlantic.
Along with creating jobs, developing infrastructure and driving innovation, American companies also invest in people and communities through social and educational programs, research and development or environmental and health initiatives.

As Susan Danger, CEO, AmCham EU, stated: “American companies have found a second home in Europe. With 60% of total U.S. foreign direct investment going to Europe every year, their contribution to the European economy is enormous”.

Know more in The Case for Investing in Europe 2018: throughout the publication, you will find a series of testimonials from senior business executives. They are members of AmCham EU’s Executive Council—a group of twenty CEOs who lead the European operations of some of
the world’s largest companies.
With enthusiasm and passion, they advocate for a stronger and more competitive Europe in the global economy. As they tell the story of their own companies, they demonstrate the breadth of their operations in Europe and their positive impact on local communities.

The Communication Agency, Page in extremis is proud to have participated in the creative development and the graphical production of the publication.
The result is an inspiring brochure made within an intimate creative dialogue involving Thibaut L’Ortye and his team at AmCham, Joseph Quinlan, and the communication agency’s creative unit.

Liquid Gas Europe benefits of a new, instantly recognisable logo in a digital environment.

The European LPG Association has renamed itself as Liquid Gas Europe. The change of name, logo and visual identity was announced in Brussels in September at a cocktail party that gathered its members and several representatives of the industry.

The transformation of the association previously called AEGPL into Liquid Gas Europe is a model of a comprehensive rebranding in this new era of digital communication.

Liquid Gas Europe, the European LPG Association, is composed of national LPG associations; the main European LPG distributors, and equipment manufacturers.  With the support of its working groups of industry experts, Liquid Gas Europe is actively involved in concrete initiatives and programs to ensure the sustainable, safe and efficient development of LPG in Europe.

The re-branding coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the Association, created in 1968. The new logo - colourful and dynamic – make the Association easily distinguishable and reflect the industry’s ability to re-invent itself and be a contributing member in the energy sector.

The playful interaction initiated by the specific use of colours and the geometrical patterns make the new logo immediately recognisable in a digital environment.

The rebranding of the association has embraced every digital aspect of its communication activities:
- The Liquid Gas Europe’s website has been redesigned,
- Video capsules for youtube have been developed,
- The social media accounts have been relooked,  
- Email signature, Powerpoint presentations, and a campaign website were also a part of the rebranding implementation.

The strategic digital approach was defined collaboratively during the initial workshops of the whole branding process.

All the implementation steps were driven by a Branding Committee composed of the Liquid Gas Europe’s management and representatives of its members acting in close collaboration with the communication agency, Page in extremis.

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.

Page in extremis builds brands and strengthens the reputation of leading organisations, European associations and corporations.

"How can a brand have a personality? Our dictionary says personality means ‘habitual patterns and qualities of behaviour of any individual as expressed by physical and mental activities and attitudes; distinctive individual qualities of a person considered collectively.’ So think of the brand as a person. Then consider whether the line works for that person"

How to integrate the digital dimension into your rebranding?

The fast-paced world of digital media is a real challenge for organisations.
Nowadays, when building brands, it is essential to consider a precise understanding of the strategic impact and the tactical issues around the digital environment of the brand, particularly as social media have a significant role to play with communication.

The perception of our brand and reputation is more and more the sum of our online experiences that is why we need to understand how digital are impacting the target audience’s perceptions of us and we need to do this measurably.

Of course, your target audience has every experience of you:  from your business cards to the tone of voice of your best opening speech but, now, all of these things are tied together by the online experience.
We can we can receive your coordinates over your email signature, and follow your talks through youtube or live streaming.

The number of different online touchpoints are expanding: website, web platform, online campaigns, e-newsletters, e-survey and many others social media.

It’s true that the majority of organisations are not using social media effectively, but they are doing more of it!

Because of all this, the meaning of the digital dimension of your brand must be considered from the starting point of your digitalisation process.

The transformation of CECED into APPLiA, the home appliance European association is a perfect example of “How to blend the digital dimension into your rebranding?”.

APPLiA is a Brussels-based trade association that provides a single, consensual voice for the home appliance industry in Europe.
It promotes the industry’s general mission to increase product innovation while reducing the environmental impact of appliances.
The home appliance industry is an essential European economic player.

The rebranding of the association has embraced all the digital aspects of its communication activities. The APPLiA’s website has been redesign, video interviews have been incorporated into the youtube channel, all the other social media have been reconfigured, and a consistent look and feel has been defined for the social presence, full online publications have been developed, email signature and a campaign website were also a part of the rebranding implementation. All of that was established in the framework of a digital presence strategy defined collaboratively during the initial strategic workshops of the whole branding process.

All the phases were driven by APPLiA’s management in collaboration with the communication agency, Page in extremis.

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.

Page in extremis builds brands and strengthens the reputation of leading organisations, European associations and corporations.

EDSO presents key recommendations for Electricity Market Design trilogues

EDSO for Smart Grids gathers leading European distribution system operators (DSOs) for electricity, cooperating to bring smart grids from vision to reality in Europe and is focused on guiding EU RD&D, policy and member state regulation to support this development.

Distribution system operators (DSOs) are the operating managers of energy distribution networks, operating at low, medium and, in some member states, high voltage levels.

Smart grids are essential to achieving the EU’s ambitious energy and climate objectives to 2020 and beyond.

EDSO is the key-interface between Europe’s DSOs and the European institutions, promoting the development and large-scale testing of smart grid models and technologies in real-life situations, new market designs and regulation.

EDSO believes that the Clean Energy Package is a real opportunity for DSOs to contribute to and meet the challenges of a flexible and highly digitised energy system – mainly as this transition is mostly affecting distribution grids at the local level.

EDSO has summarised its ten key recommendations in an eye-catching leaflet. The publication is the result of the co-creative framework that occurred between the EDSO team and the creative staff of the communication agency, Page in extremis.
