Benelux Enterprise Awards 2023

EU Business News is excited to announce the much-awaited return of the Benelux Enterprise Awards 2023 for its sixth consecutive instalment. Organised by EU Business News, this programme aims to identify and reward those enterprises that have demonstrated excellence in their respective fields. This programme is targeted towards businesses of all sizes operating in the Benelux region, including both established and up-and-coming enterprises. It is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all businesses, regardless of their size or sector! The economic outlook for the Benelux countries in the coming years presents a mixed picture. Belgium is projected to experience a temporary slowdown in 2023 with a growth rate of 0.6%. Meanwhile, the Dutch economy is expected to grow by a modest 0.8% in 2023. Inflation is also expected to ease in the Netherlands, with a projected rate of 4.9%. In Luxembourg, the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (STATEC) forecasts a more positive outlook, with the economy projected to grow by 1.5% in 2023. Overall, while the Benelux countries have their own unique economic trends, they are all expected to continue to experience growth in the coming years. What better way to celebrate these achievements in challenging economic conditions, than to participate in the Benelux Enterprise Awards 2023!

6. Most Visionary Advertising & Design Agency 2023 Jun23655 Based in Valkenswaard in the Southern Netherlands, Brand Junkies works with clients of all shapes and sizes. From large corporates to local businesses, the company is adept at addressing marketing and advertising challenges and coming up with unique and engaging solutions. Matt tells us, “Our mission has always been to deliver the absolute best possible solution to a challenge. When our client’s brand, product, or service is successful, we know we’ve delivered as promised. Everything we do starts with a unique idea, a spark of inspiration – a new way of looking at a challenge. We develop the creative strategy and then bring it to life across all customerfocused touchpoints.” Honing in on Brand Junkies' core skills, the company recently updated its own branding to better reflect its values and strengths. That’s not to say it is moving away from its existing client base. In fact, the reverse is true. Some clients have been with Brand Junkies for over 15 years! Matt explains the idea behind the rebrand: “Our aim is to ensure that we always deliver forward-thinking solutions in this fastchanging world. We know that people buy from companies they like. By embracing this philosophy, we hit the sweet spot between B2B and B2C communications – this is where the customer sits.” Using their own experience as customers and their understanding of neuromarketing techniques, the team at Brand Junkies devise solutions that offer its clients the best chance of success. Championing openness, creativity, and cooperation, the team endeavours to help its clients get their products and services in front of as many prospective customers as possible. Offering services including website design, brochures, film, events, merchandising, and billboards, Brand Junkies provides a full range of touchpoints to get customers hooked on a brand. By using the very latest in neurotechnology, the company ensures that its clients' marketing efforts are on point. Full-service marketing and communications specialist, Brand Junkies delivers creative branding solutions that hook customers from the get-go. Established over 20 years ago, Brand Junkies has built a solid reputation for innovation by listening to what its clients want, and delivering what they need. We take a look at this forward-thinking company in more detail with Creative Director, Matt Phillips. Matt says, “Our clients include multinational giants, small local shops, and everything in between. We get as much energy and joy out of creating and launching a house style for a local restaurant as we do when we create and produce an integrated global campaign. We’ve earned an outstanding level of trust from our clients. We know that asking a creative agency to solve a complex business challenge and investing in their solution can seem a little risky, and somewhat daunting at times. Our clients trust us to deliver on their goals – and we never let them down.” Being creatively led, Brand Junkies shuns the constraints of traditional bureaucracy. That, combined with the company’s extensive experience and best-in-class mentality, ensures an agile and effective service. Matt states, “Our industry is ever-evolving and we know that if you snooze you lose. Creative communications and marketing have to reflect the habits and patterns of the consumer. Being up-to-date is a must. What is popular one day is out of vogue the next, so it’s vital we stay on the cutting-edge of culture. It's not enough to shout louder than the competition. To stand out in an overwhelming, cluttered environment you must understand the mind of your target.” Understanding that knowledge is the key to future growth, Brand Junkies has invested heavily in training and technology. Two of the company’s senior team members are trained in neuromarketing and Brand Junkies uses sophisticated software to track emotional responses to its campaigns before they go live. The team also uses eyetracking hardware to monitor and record the movement of a person’s eyes in relation to the visual stimuli it produces. Matt explains, “We’ve learnt that we can stimulate the natural highs that we experience when we get our fix of love, laughter, and the legitimate buzz from a job well done. The rush of dopamine that triggers these feelings is the very same chemical that’s released when you have a positive experience with a brand, product, or service. We assess this and

custom-tune our creative message to release these natural highs – hooking your customers and leaving them wanting more. The future, as always, is bright – as long as you don’t stare open-mouthed at it for too long.” As an advocate of keeping pace with the latest technology, what are Matt’s thoughts on the rising popularity of AI? He tells us, “AI is on everyone’s lips and it’s only going to get stronger and more capable. It may never be able to replace an artist or a great writer or nail a great beer campaign. But it will be of immense value to brands that don’t want to take risks – Ask AI the same question and you’ll always get the same answer. Embracing creativity means you get access to the unique experiences, hard-earned knowledge, and individual character of the creative mind. Ask 10 creatives the same question, you’ll get 10 unique answers. Ask 10 AI algorithms, and the chances are, the answers will be pretty much the same. Creativity is a true human strength and if we’re able to couple this with AI, we could be on to something very special.” Creativity is of course a core component of the culture at Brand Junkies. Keeping staff engaged, freedom of choice, responsibility, and independence are centre stage. Matt says, “We encourage self-reliance and only hire nice and talented people that will fit into our working culture. We want everyone to embrace our joint values and come to work with a smile on their faces. When they talk, we listen. We challenge our team to excel and give them the freedom to fail. We have a set of collective goals that they can contribute towards. We're open, we discuss results, and make sure everyone knows their role within the team. We celebrate success as a team and are supportive if things don’t go according to plan. We're ready for whatever the universe throws our way. Whatever that is, you can be sure it will be fun! ” For the remainder of 2023, Brand Junkies has a host of exciting projects to look forward to. The team will be launching brands and campaigns, designing product packaging, and making branding films for some of its biggest clients.

8. Best Bespoke Interior Designer 2023 (The Netherlands): Pleun van Akkerveeken Based in Culemborg in the heart of the Netherlands, you’ll find the unique world of interior designer, Pleun van Akkerveeken. The showroom of the design and decoration company, Studio Pleun Interiors, is full of beautiful fabrics and exclusive wallpapers ready to make houses into homes. Listening to her clients' ideas, while taking into account both mood and personality, Pleun creates stunning yet practical design solutions. We chat with Pleun and take a look at her company in more detail. Pleun van Akkerveeken has over 25 years of experience in the field of interior design. Founding her own styling business back in 2007, Pleun defined her core values as service, balance, partnership, harmony, hard work, freedom, impact, and transparency. Although the business has evolved to offer a full interior design service, to this day Pleun and her team still stay true to those values. She tells us, “My business idea supports my vision by offering good quality, well-made soft furnishings within a balanced colour palette to create an overall interior concept. My designs and decisions are grounded in years of experience and personal development and that’s repaid by the confidence and trust that my clients have in me.” Pleun works with residential clients, many of whom live in old and sometimes historical buildings. She revels in creating warm, homely designs that mirror the personal taste of each client. Offering a full range of design services, Pleun also creates customised products in-house. She explains, “One of my proudest achievements to date is the creation of our made-to-order curtain service. I’ve realised over the years that few designers have the ability to measure up and make curtains for old windows with their unusual shapes.” All the made-to-measure curtains are being sewn locally and Pleun also offers matching or coordinated cushions and furniture upholstery. Working with a small team of artisans, Pleun is very hands-on, from the initial consultation with the client, through to the final delivery of the design and products. So what trends is Pleun seeing in the interior design industry at the moment? She says, “Using sustainable products and recycled or 100% natural fibres is becoming much more popular. Pure linen upholstery fabrics are back in fashion and we’re even seeing curtain material made from recycled plastic bottles. These developments appear to be Europewide as fabric designers look for more sustainable ways to produce and print fabric too.” After spending so much time in our homes over the last few years, Pleun is also noticing a growing demand for her services as more people become drawn to the idea of personalised living spaces. Pleun tells us about the culture at Studio Pleun Interiors: “It’s a small company and the culture is very casual and creative although we’re still hard-working and have an obsessive attention to detail. I adore working with lovely fabrics every day and creating new concepts for my clients. As for any entrepreneur, the key is to find the perfect work-life balance. If I’m recruiting a new member of staff, I always look for passion first.” In the immediate future, Studio Pleun Interiors will be working on two major projects. The first is an old farmhouse that’s been completely renovated. The second is a modern sustainable house using only natural environmental friendly products creating a cosy decor.

Jul22493 9. Jul22493 ARTE DESIGNO is a modern, contemporary art gallery located in the south of the Netherlands since 2009. Talented owner Lilian van Stiphout is an expert within the realms of interior architecture and design. Since 2015, her gallery has also created a very special niche department named ARTE MEMORIA. Here it offers an innovative spin on modern-day urns and memorial objects, to be treasured in memory of either lost or still living loved ones. Art can be inspiring, moving, and uniquely important to each individual viewer. ARTE DESIGNO is supremely aware of this, and invites its customers to visit its modern art gallery in the Netherlands, and revel in what it styles as the house of interior design. Its intention is inextricably linked with the gallery’s overall main theme of ‘connectedness and togetherness’, which is beautifully translated by its featured artists from both home and abroad. ARTE DESIGNO celebrates unconventional and idiosyncratic working methodologies, rewarding visitors with modern contemporary abstract art, interspersed with figurative pieces. Visitors are welcome to come and view the gallery by appointment, even on Sundays, and also at the Saturday afternoon drop in, any time after 1pm. Once there, they can witness the ‘ARTE’ of ARTE DESIGNO, reflected metaphorically, and sometimes even quite literally, in the surprisingly versatile array of glass art, wall art, visual art, and memorial artworks. Everything on display boasts an artistic look that is both modern and timeless in design. The collection is specifically curated to appeal to both young and old alike, cover a range of budgets, and an expansive array of interior design styles, with the added ARTE DESIGNO twist of being just that little bit different. DESIGNO means “from the drawing board”, and is meant to reflect how the design and the idea behind it come together in the mind of the designer/artist to result in an objet d’art seamlessly translated into reality. It is also used as a shorthand to stand for owner Lilian van Stiphout, and her expertise in the field of interior architecture and interior design. Lilian’s personal styling, her knowledge of colour, and her wealth of experience leads her to being an empathetic advisor when it comes to helping clients envisage their own housing visions. For anyone planning a purchase, Lilian can provide expert interiors advice based on her extensive history in the business. She’ll also willingly help to formulate an interiors style specifically designed to suit each individual. The later opened ‘ARTE MEMORIA’ or memories department is an artistic take on memorial objects, with or without reservoirs for ashes, and designed for every occasion, not just for farewells. The special department of artistic memories and urns at ARTE DESIGNO contains what might be termed ‘ordinary’ art objects, featuring abstract and figurative images that represent the theme of ‘connectedness, togetherness’. The designs are diverse in nature, as is the choice of materials, such as glass, bronze and metal. The range is colourful, and aims to stand out from the sombre range of urns generally available to buy. It is possible to insert ashes in many of the artistic memorial objects, which is available as a free service on purchase. Another service ARTE DESIGNO offers is to organise bringing art objects to potential customer’s homes or office locations. This is ideal if you are interested in purchasing several items at the same time, and want to be sure they will look good in their new home. It’s also possible to visit the gallery with photos, sizes and colour samples of your interior, enabling Lilian to provide expert interior advice free of charge, with the purchase of any item. Of course, ARTE DESIGNO’s sublimely designed glass objects can be personalised, adding great symbolic meaning with regards to ‘connection, love, and friendship forever’. It also offers beautiful and unique promotional gifts for individuals and companies that can be specifically tailored to commemorate any personal situation. As the winner of Modern Contemporary Art Gallery of the Year 2023 – Netherlands, ARTE DESIGNO has been recognised as a truly wonderful place. Its love of both art and fellow humankind is beautiful and meaningful, and we are delighted to be able to award its fine service with a well deserved title.

10. Jun23654 Brussels-based company, Babylonia Creative Affairs Bureau (Babylonia), brings together creative minds that turn wishes into reality. Founded in 2012, the company delivers ‘à la carte’ visual communications solutions to clients across Europe, Asia, and the USA. We take a look at the company in more detail and learn about some advances that are taking the visual communications world by storm with company representative, Sarah Welby. In today’s fast-paced interconnected society, the importance of visual communication continues to grow. Visuals offer a rapid way to engage with large numbers of people, conveying complex ideas, emotions, and narratives in a way that transcends linguistic and cultural barriers. The continued rise in popularity of social media and digital technologies has only accelerated the demand for effective and appealing visual content. In a world inundated with data, high-quality visual comms are no longer a creative choice, but a strategic necessity. Creating memorable, iconic still and moving images is the remit of Babylonia Creative Affairs Bureau. Working with private companies, communications agencies, and public organisations, the team at Babylonia are bursting with flair and creativity. Offering corporate photography, video production, web design, and graphic design, Babylonia builds tailor-made teams to respond explicitly to the needs of each project. Sarah explains how Babylonia has the edge over its competitors: “We don’t have employees – instead, we have a large roster of freelancers. This is one of our main commercial strategies. Working with an independent creative team means we have a wide spectrum of choices and experts available for every service we offer. This enables us to find the best match for every client according to their needs. We prioritise clear and regular communication with clients to establish a strong understanding, set expectations, and deliver exactly what the client needs.” The meticulous attention to detail and strict quality control processes at Babylonia ensure work is of a consistently high standard and error-free. Sarah adds, “It’s important to us to deliver our projects on time. By doing so, we enable our clients to meet their own deadlines and objectives. Of course, we also pride ourselves on our flexibility. So if there are last-minute or unexpected changes we’re prepared to adapt and accommodate.” With AI on the rise in every area of technology, we ask Sarah to tell us a little about the impact on the visual communications industry. She explains, “At Babylonia, we’re monitoring the advancements in AI with interest. Some of the notable trends we’ve noticed include automated editing. AI algorithms are now analysing images and video to identify patterns and make intelligent adjustments such as enhancing colour and improving composition. They can even remove unwanted objects or even blemishes. Intelligent automode is able to analyse a scene and adjust camera settings accordingly. Image analysis such as facial recognition, emotion detection, and image segmentation can now be done in real-time. This is opening up a whole new field of creative possibilities. So what lies on the horizon for Babylonia? Sarah says, “In the future of our company, we see a rising demand for high-quality visual content. As businesses and individuals rely on digital platforms more and more for communication and marketing, the need for creative audiovisual agencies is only set to grow. In the coming years, we aim to expand our client base and persist on delivering qualitative services for our customers.” Contact: Sarah Welby Company: Babylonia Creative Affairs Bureau Web Address: https://www.babylonia-brussels.eu/ Best Photo & Video Agency

12. Health Supplement Brand of the Year 2023 - Netherlands It seems as though now, more than ever, we’re incredibly conscious of our health. Be it in a physical or mental sense, health has come to the forefront of our minds in recent years. People want to improve their lifestyle and health, and Health Tribe has devoted itself to making this venture far easier. By providing health supplements that promote a shift in our day to day lives, Health Tribe has made an undeniable impact - one that we’re eager to explore below. Born from the desire to help the everyday person live their life to the fullest, Health Tribe is a family-run business that provides health supplements for those seeking to improve their lifestyle, appearance, and overall wellbeing. However, it places specific emphasis on trying to tackle issues that have started to emerge on a global scale – ones that are being overlooked by standard healthcare sectors. Issues relating to neurogenerative brain diseases are constantly on the rise throughout Europe and Western societies worldwide, and yet there is little in the way of assisting individuals with such challenges. Health Tribe seeks to make a much-needed impact through strictly holistic and natural means. As with its full product line, all of Health Tribe’s newest formulas follow the same criteria – GMO free, anti-doping, free of synthetic additives, anti-caking, and free from sweeteners. Instead, they are filled with super foods, and its vegan capsules are crafted from fermented tapioca. This caters to the increasing standards and specific requirements of any individual, inclusive of all diets. As such, the contents within are preserved in order to maintain quality, all whilst adhering to Health Tribe’s all-natural excursion. Health shouldn’t come at the cost of consuming substances that could have a negative impact on our bodies, and Health Tribe has long since come to this realisation. This mindset offers individuals from all walks of life the chance to become the best version of themselves. To Health Tribe, a holistic approach, combined with prevention, education, and transparency, is crucial. By increasing knowledge and awareness of the quality of the products that individuals are consuming, it believes that there’s a way to therefore prevent artificial substances from having a negative impact on their bodies. Not only does it create and provide health supplements, but Health Tribe goes above and beyond to encourage people to make lifestyle changes that are proven to have beneficial effects. Despite the longer production process that accompanies stripping a formula of all additives, sweeteners, and artificial ingredients, Health Tribe is determined to continue down its path of holistic health. Keeping itself natural, and adhering to its clean label principle, is paramount to this family-run business, and it’s thanks to this unapologetic passion for offering the best quality of products possible that Health Tribe has managed to come so far. It noticed the increasing awareness of individuals, resulting in an influx of people searching for a natural means to reach a sound solution to their lifestyle qualms, and tailored itself to meet these demands. Health Tribe embodies what it means to take a widely recognised concept, and completely revolutionise it. Supplements have been popular for years, but it’s all too common for artificial ingredients to find a home in said supplements. Health Tribe, however, guarantees an all-natural product line that’s completely free from synthetic ingredients. It has a real love for what it does, and the passion that it displays for introducing a healthier solution to the people of the world is beyond admirable. We’re very proud to feature Health Tribe in this award supplement, and we can’t wait to see what life-changing product it develops next. If our readers are wanting to keep up to date with all of Health Tribe’s newest advancements, feel free to visit its Instagram page (@wearehealthtribe). With a strong social media presence and eagerness to share its work, we’re certain that you’ll find yourself at home within Health Tribe’s thriving community.
