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.

Ciett actively contributes to the future of work debate!

As the voice of labour choice, Ciett is set up to promote common interests of the private employment services sector on an international level.

Ciett actively contributes to the future of work debate, not in the least by providing facts and figures about the employment and recruitment industry at international level in the Ciett Economic Report.

The 2016 edition of the most comprehensive fact book about the industry is one of continuity as well as change.

As in previous years, the report gives you an overview of the performance of various aspects of our industry.
The number of workers who find access to the labour market after intermediation by a recruitment and employment agency – 71.9 million people in 2014!
The turnover of the industry across the globe, which totaled 1450  billion.
And as always, there is much more data to be found in the report.

There are two new elements in this edition of the Ciett Economic Report.
The first is the different way that Ciett structures the data.
In 2015, Ciett decided to organize the data based on the four areas where the industry adds value: enabling work, adaptation, security, and prosperity.
So it is only logical that Ciett would use these four areas to structure the report that gives a comprehensive overview of the industry.

The second change is the medium Ciett chose to present this message.
The digital and online world have a profound impact on the way that the industry develops, and therefore Ciett decided also to bring the economic report online.

There is still a hard copy that offers you an insight into only a small selection of data but for the full overview of the report, you need to consult the online version.

This will make it easier for the reader, to browse the content liberally, and to share and repost the content more easily.

The online publication and the printed summary are the results of the collaboration between the communication team of Ciett and the communication agency, Page in extremis.

Based in Brussels, Page in extremis is a communication agency that makes brands conversational. The company helps organisations manage their communities, engage with their stakeholders and convey their messages through innovative digital tools.

What do Europeans think about connected cars?

On February 2016, FIA Region I revealed consumer concerns related to the connected car collected from the My Car My Data public survey including 12,000 European people.

Although the expression of a high level of interest in connectivity, respondents issued a clear message: vehicle connectivity must respect conditions and address privacy concerns.

Across the 12 countries surveyed, 90% say that vehicle data belongs to the owner or driver of the vehicle.

An overwhelming 91% wanted the possibility to switch off connectivity.

A further 76% wanted to decide when and for how long consent to access car data should last.

In the case of a breakdown, an overwhelming majority felt that they should get to choose who repairs the car.

The results of the survey have been the purpose of a report developed by the FIA Region I and entitled  "What Europeans Think About Connected Cars".

The FIA Region I office, based in Brussels, is a consumer body representing 112 Motoring and Touring Clubs and their 38 million members from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Do you “Japanese” your publication?

Digital publication offers Worldwide organisations and European associations with the ability to create multilingual content for the benefit of their international audiences.

Digital publishing allows producing, at an affordable cost, efficiently digital versions of publication in an increasing number of languages.

There are different ways to present the translated content, which can impact the graphic design of the publication.

The most common format of presentation is an interactive pdf in a single-language. In that case,  each language version of the publication can be separately downloadable.

Another solution is a multilingual publication built as an application that can contain two or more sets of translations of the original content. The language versions are developed through “toggling” or “side-by-side” effects.

With the “toggling” approach, users navigate through content written in different languages by pressing a “language switch”.
The article toggling effect provides a uniform user experience, but it requires extra work to make it happen.

The “side-by-side” approach places the translations next to each other, typically with differentiation in the font types, sizes and colors.

Located in Brussels, the communication agency, Page in extremis has realised multilingual online reports for many well-known European institutions and associations.

Page in extremis is a leading strategic communication agency.
We build brands, and we strengthen reputations of International institutions, European associations and corporations.

What are the trends 2016 for online Annual Reports?

Annual reports are often considered only a legal necessity. 

From the communication point of view, this is a big mistake.
For communicators, the release of an Annual Report is a real opportunity to communicate the main messages of the organisation; to speak about their successes and generate a positive wave of what was done in the previous 12 months.

In 2015, Online Annual reports are becoming common, even the organisations that publish only an online version of their annual report are seldom.
However, the printed reports still have their place, and if we look at the present trends, it does not seem that they will disappear soon.

But let’s focus on the online reports. What will be the trend for 2016?

1) More storytelling
Storytelling is the narration of the key events in an organisation life through words, sound, and images using metaphoric embellishments. Storytelling is an excellent way to carry information forward.
Stakeholders pay a better attention when you wrap your messages in a story.

2) Parallax Scrolling Annual Reports
The parallax mini-websites trend will continue to 2016, with its impressive effect at the scrolling feature of a web page. Technically speaking, the parallax effect uses multiple backgrounds that seem to move at different speed to create a sensation of depth and an interesting browsing experience. The parallax effect is very efficient when you want to convey information quickly and easily in a very structured way.

3) Single-Page Responsive Annual Reports (mobile-friendly).
Why? With web traffic moving towards mobile, it is reasonable to expect that responsiveness standard will also apply to the online annual reports.
Scrolling single-page can be an efficiently way to encapsulate the key information related to your annual report.

4) Movement and interactivity
Combining movement with more interactivity is going to produce amazing and memorable results.

With movement, Parallax scrolling, Single-page responsiveness, and, interactivity, the communication agencies have more tools than ever to build you the storytelling for your next online report.

In the new European Banking Federation (EBF) online publication, Wim Mijs, the Chief Executive states: “I am a great believer in digital. For me my life is digital. If it is not on my phone it does not exist. All of our lives are becoming more and more digital. This is what brings growth to our economy”.

That is one of the reasons for which Wim Mijs is a fervent supporter of the European Commission’s plans on the Digital Single Market.

In order to make this support real, The EBF wrote a blueprint and a digital report “not a bulky one with a grey cover but with a fresh design, infographics and multimedia”.

The EBF’s Blueprint on Digital Banking aims at helping to understand more effectively the digital transformation initiated by banks more effectively.

The EBF Blueprint focuses on the challenges and opportunities in retail banking. It also explains why banks should be considered as strategic players in the Digital Single Market (DSM).

The EBF, as representative of the European banking industry, is committed to accompanying banks in this transformation. Namely, to discuss with European institutions the reality of a regulatory environment conducive to establishing secure, reliable and efficient digital banking services.

In addition, the EBF, in its commitment to generating a single market for financial services and to supporting policies that foster economic growth, is the obvious strategic partner in the creation of an ambitious Digital Single Market.

The EBF, as the voice of the European banking sector unites 32 national banking associations in Europe which together represent some 4,500 banks - large and small, wholesale and retail, local and international - employing about 2.5 million people.

EBF members represent banks which make loans available to the European economy in excess of €20 trillion and securely handle more than 400 million payment transactions per day.

The online publication has been designed and developped by the communication agency Page in extremis.

The online report looks set to become the default reporting format in the near future. Increasingly more effort are being redirected to the online medium.

Current trends indicate that the most likely scenario in the near future is a summary print version supported by a full online version.
