Amaze, the technology and marketing company, is opening an office in Brussels as it takes another step towards becoming a leading pan-European agency.
The new office will officially launch on 23 April, just five months after Amaze was formed following the merger of three Hasgrove agencies. A European base has been established to enable the company to service European clients more efficiently including long-term accounts Toyota and Lexus, relationships Amaze has retained for over five years, and new client, the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA). Amaze Brussels will also grow the European portfolio of digital clients and collaborate more closely with the other companies in the Hasgrove Group.
Based within the Avenue de Tervuren office, Amaze will be joining and collaborating with two sister companies from the Hasgrove Group, strategic communications and public affairs consultancy, Interel, and graphic design company, Landmarks.
Natalie Gross, Managing Partner at Amaze, said: “We believe that our Brussels office will be the ideal location to better service those European clients for whom digital represents a key driver in their marketing and business infrastructure.
“To help the fluidity of our relationships we’ll be positioning senior consultants from across project management, user experience and technical build within Brussels to ensure our clients get the best service offering possible.
“For our European clients, we are going beyond standard communications, preferring to focus on the overall digital strategy and questioning how the web fits into their business model, something most European agencies are not currently offering.”
Rod Hyde, Hasgrove CEO, said: “The opening of the Brussels office is a key landmark for the company and a clear indication of our ambition to become a leading pan-European agency within the next three years. It is a major step in a long journey for the company but it is clear there is huge potential for growth within Europe, particularly when offering strategic digital solutions tailored to European companies, something that Amaze specialises in.”
Amaze will celebrate the opening of the Brussels office with a networking event for current and prospective clients including a talk from Rick Curtis, Head of Strategy about developing effective social media.
