clown adminpulse campagne

Challenge

For Dutch accounting firms, the end of the fiscal year is notoriously demanding. It is a period marked by intense pressure, long working hours, and operational overload. Research revealed that accountants consistently associate year-end closing with stress and chaos, an experience often described as overwhelming rather than merely busy.

This insight exposed a clear communication opportunity: most software providers address efficiency in abstract terms, while accountants are far more receptive to messaging that acknowledges their lived reality.

Making sense

The core insight was simple yet powerful: year-end closing is not just stressful, it feels like a nightmare. Rather than avoiding this tension, the campaign embraced it.

The campaign was built around visual and narrative references to classic horror films, condensed into a refined, brand-safe execution. Elements such as a fogged mirror, unsettling characters, and striking typography were used to symbolize the fear and pressure accountants experience during year-end closing.

Short-form video content played a central role. By deliberately breaking away from conventional LinkedIn aesthetics, the campaign disrupted the feed and captured attention without sacrificing relevance or professionalism.

Beyond awareness, the campaign was designed as a full-funnel activation. A consideration and conversion phase invited accountants to engage with a digital tool that calculated potential time and cost savings achieved through AdminPulse.

This approach was grounded in behavioral insight: accountants respond strongly to concrete data and measurable outcomes. Rather than relying on broad promises, the campaign translated efficiency into tangible numbers, directly aligned with the decision-making mindset of the target audience.

larmisoft eyeballs

Challenge

As a challenger, Larmisoft wants to claim its spot in the top ten of the market, amongst the incumbents. The market of eye drips is driven by a distribution network that is beyond their control (pharmacies and retailers) and consumers that have little connection to the brands. With this campaign, Larmisoft made the difference in this homogeneous market by creating distinctive elements that helped it truly stand out and connect to its audience.

Making sense

There is a growing space for humor in the pharma advertising industry, reports keep proving the positive impact on business results. To introduce Larmisoft to the big public, we used humor as our distinctive brand element. With the claim that there are better solutions to keep your eyes moist (you don’t have to keep them in a glass of water next to your bed like you might do with your… teeth).

The campaign ran digitally on social media, web and Digital Out of Home. Sub segments in our target audience were targeted via specific channels, like gaming and streaming youngsters via Twitch with specific creatives or young creatives via TikTok. Channels that are rarely used in this market, but created massive impact.

The campaign had a direct impact on the numbers of sold goods in pharmacies exceeding expectations with double digits.

TheOtherAgency Straatinterview
Client: Stad Antwerpen

Challenge

Recent studies show that 1 in 4 teenagers in Antwerp leave high school without a diploma. Many more consider dropping out or end up pursuing a degree they have little interest in, simply to obtain a qualification. The result is a large number of young people in Antwerp without a clear plan or vision for their future. The City of Antwerp asked us to develop a digital tool that highlights alternatives to the traditional school system and helps students identify the options most relevant to their situation. We were also tasked with creating a launch campaign to make sure as many young people as possible become aware of this new tool.

Making sense

One of the biggest challenges for our audience is feeling misunderstood by the conventional school system. As a result, they often turn to their social circles for advice. While this feels more trustworthy to them, it limits their perspective and keeps their decision-making confined to a narrow environment. So how do we get them to trust something that comes from the very system they are frustrated with? By showing that we understand their world—and by sharing stories of people who came from that same world and managed to grow beyond it. This gives them someone relatable to look up to.

The digital tool comes to life through a simple test built around four key questions, each addressing a common reason young people consider quitting school: the academic nature of the curriculum, financial pressure to earn money, the need to be treated as an equal, or difficulties with a specific part of the school environment. Throughout the test, we include relevant facts to support better decision-making, along with words of encouragement from our ambassadors. We also reassure them it’s okay to talk about it with their surroundings, whether that’s their mum, brother, sports coach, teacher, or a professional like a study counselor.

The two campaign ambassadors, musicians Yung Mavu and K1D, are well-known artists that our audience already listens to—people with similar backgrounds who have faced the same dilemmas. They are ideal promoters of the tool, not through a flashy ad campaign, but by naturally integrating it into a popular podcast for Flemish youth. In addition, they create social-native content in the form of street interviews with Antwerp teenagers, asking about their experiences with school, whether they’ve considered quitting, and if they’re aware of any alternatives.

By using deeper, more relatable content formats, credible ambassadors, and the channels our audience already engages with when searching for answers, we introduce this solution in a way that fits naturally into their world.

Defensie_Ready Or Not Trailer Thumbnail
Client: Defensie

Challenge

As part of our partnership with Belgian Defence, we were asked to develop a new content series for 2025 — a compelling set of short episodes that showcase what working for Defence is really like, aiming to spark greater interest among young Belgians in the organisation as an employer. The theme of the series? The unsung innovations and technologies used daily within the army. But how do you explain what these things are, their role in the job, and how they work — while still engaging a broad audience that isn’t necessarily interested in technology?

Making sense

We created a concept that blends peak internet culture and the streaming habits of our audience with the innovations and technologies Defence wanted to highlight. Drawing inspiration from YouTube creators like MrBeast and Average Rob, we invited our audience to take part in the content series. Because what better way to show the relevance and cool factor of Defence’s tech than through the real, unfiltered reactions of our audience’s peers?

Do you think you’re ready to join the army — or is it just not for you? In this 8-part content series, we go behind the scenes and challenge four young people to take on various tasks and prove whether they’ve got what it takes to join Defence.

The production team behind this docu.

Each episode explores a specific department or task force within the organisation, giving the participants a look at the innovations and technologies in use. After a short theory session to introduce the tools and systems, the participants face off in two teams during a daily challenge, judged by an expert from Defence who assesses how ready they are to join their unit. At the end of the eight challenges, only one team emerges victorious, claiming the title of ‘#1 Cadets, Uncensored 2025’.

Compared to our first series, we take a less cinematic approach and keep it closer to native YouTube content, keeping the video footage less polished, with minimal extra animated assets to create a hybrid somewhere between a game show, and internet vlogging.

Results

The Ready or Not Series was watched 2 million times in total, of which 270.000 times in organic. 90% of the young people believe that the editing pace and filming style are well-suited for YouTube and considered it relevant to their culture. 

There is no making sense if it wouldn’t impact the bottom line of the briefing: attracting more talent. And it did: 41% of young people would consider applying to Defence after watching the series. (Listen study, 2025)

epfc ecole pour vous-work

Challenge

EPFC is a school for further education and part of the Free University of Brussels (ULB). It welcomes students of all ages and all backgrounds, especially those who want to combine their work with a study, and offers them a range of courses and degrees. Due to COVID, the school had seen a 20% decrease in enrollments in 2020 and was in need of a strategy and a campaign to tackle this.

Making sense

In 2025, the campaign focused on the students of EPFC, placing them at the center. EPFC is a school which gathers students with a vast variety of backgrounds who all have one goal in common: getting a degree in their dream field. Nevertheless, for some students, this can seem like an impossible task to accomplish in more traditional environments such as universities or tertiary institutions. EPFC’s main mission is to place the student at the center of their own educational journey, providing them with flexibility and support to succeed in their dream domains. This is how “a tiny world made by you” came to life: the school places the student at the center, allowing them to adapt their personal and work life with their studies, enabling them to build their own personal world as they wish and encouraging them to get that degree they aim for.

Results

The campaign went live on rooftop banners in metros, tram and buses all over Brussels as well as digitally on Meta and TikTok. Throughout 2025, concrete results will become clear.

TOA_Yuki-In Sync_Website_Design_Visuals_01

Challenge

Yuki builds smart accounting software. It automates complex tasks, removes friction, and helps users work faster and better. But the market rarely sees it that way. Innovation in this space is still mostly associated with legacy players like Exact. Yuki asked us to change that, and build brand awareness and claim its place as a thought leader.

We didn’t just want to say Yuki is innovative. We wanted to show how the brand actively solves a real market issue: the lack of transparency between accountants and entrepreneurs. That problem blocks efficiency, erodes trust, and makes financial tech feel harder than it is.

Making sense

We started by listening. Entrepreneurs told us they don’t fully grasp what their accountants do behind the scenes. Accountants often felt stuck in the numbers, too frequently lacking the tools or time to translate them into business terms. The insight was simple: both groups work from the same figures, but rarely see the full picture.

In 2025, we moved from product to partnership. “In sync” focused on the working relationship between accountant and entrepreneur. We showed the human side of transparency: shared tools, shared goals, and clear expectations. One hero film, two supporting visuals, and localised versions helped the message cut through across both Belgium and the Netherlands.

The storytelling shifted towards outcome. Instead of zooming in on the tech, we highlighted what happens when people understand each other better. We framed accountants as strategic allies,  not just number crunchers, but business translators. The campaign invited both sides to step into each other’s world. Online, the landing page delivered practical depth: how Yuki supports smoother workflows, better conversations, and fewer blind spots.

The campaign ran wide. From national TV and OOH to print, digital, podcasts, and direct channels. We targeted high-traffic moments and key titles for both business profiles. At Yuki’s annual event, we even brought the story to life through a live performance by the dancers from the video.

Results

Direct searches for Yuki jumped by 40% and brand tracking post-campaign confirmed the shift: Yuki rose from 16th to 7th in unaided awareness. That change came with stronger associations, as users now saw the brand as not just smart, but useful and clear.

This campaign didn’t just drive traffic. It built long-term positioning, giving Yuki a foundation to keep growing, wave after wave.

Client: Instaclause

Challenge

The accounting industry is changing rapidly. New technologies push accountants to rethink their value proposition towards their clients. In this national campaign, Instaclause challenges all accountants on what that extra value could be with their solution.

Making sense

Business owners want their accountant to be their partner in crime along their entire entrepreneurial journey. The trust business owners have in their accountant is high, resulting in them asking all kind of business related questions, such as making contracts or commercial agreements. 

Making contracts and agreements used to be a lawyers only job, but not anymore. Accountants are now too eligible to help, thanks to Instaclause. The Belgian software start-up wants to offer a solution to accountants who are now afraid to service those clients asking for terms, contracts or other agreements.

Instaclause’s software selects the right legal clauses automatically and puts them into one legally correct document. No need for accountants to look for it anymore or make second guesses if correct or not. Instaclause software serves as a filter where all knowledge goes through, right into the one contract that is custom to the client’s needs.

Technology is creating massive changes in the day to day work of accountants. In the meantime, expectations of business owners changed as fast. they want their numbers real time up to date to make the right business decision based on the right data.

Making sense

Yuki is a lot. It helps accountants in automating parts of their work, it helps them recognize repeated bookings to automate them, it creates ways to easier communicate with their clients etc… For business owners, it creates a one stop show for all their financials. They have a 24/7 real time view on their numbers, they can easily store contracts and they have direct access to all incoming and outgoing invoices. Terms like ‘automation’, ‘machine learning’ or ‘Peppol’ all make these new ways of working possible. The way it all works, might seem magic. But it’s is not. It’s just Yuki. So how complicated it may seem, it’s the job of Yuki to make it look as easy and user friendly as possible so you can focus on what matters: your business.

Results

This campaign ran in Belgium and The Netherlands, targetting both entrepreneurs and accountants. It ran on TV, OOH, print, DM and digital. The awareness campaign lead to a 40% increase in direct search as it had significant impact on other business critical paramaters.

Challenge

The Belgian Ministry of Defense was in need of an idea to help fill their many job openings. Even though a job in the army offers stability and security, only a limited number of young people think they’d make an ideal candidate. Patriotic thrill seekers will surely apply, as the army is usually associated with tough soldiers in enemy territory, but what if you don’t really fit that profile?

Making sense

A job at Defense might be a mission, it doesn’t always involve muscles and guns. In fact, the reality is often far more mundane as Defense is in need of many different skills and profiles. With our documentary series #Uncensored we reveal lesser known job opportunities, whetting the appetite of those who may be a perfect fit without realising it. 

 

Through ten behind-the-scenes videos we offer a glimpse into the daily reality – morning to night – of a navy technician, army soldier and air force technician. Every video reveals the professional aspects, such as colleagues and daily responsibilities, but also offers a glimpse of the recruits’ daily lives. By switching between different profiles within one episode, we show the variety Belgian Defense has to offer. Army life as it is, because a future at Defense is not a Hollywood movie. To enhance the authenticity, the series was shot without a preset script or professional actors.

Results

Within the first few months of the docu going live, it got +3 million views across all channels. This huge number of viewers was achieved due to some videos on Reels that went viral, generating between 500.000 and 1 million views. 2024 was a record year for Defensie with over 5.000 applications.

 

Our #Uncensored clips are the most popular Reels on the Defense socials ever.

Being the most inclusive city

To support the LGBTQ+ community, the city of Antwerp has been hosting its yearly Pride event. For its 2023 edition, they required an activation that wouldn’t only resonate with the event and its visitors, but also perfectly fit the city’s atmosphere.

Making sense

Together with the city of Antwerp, KMSKA and RapidMedia, we created an installation in front of Antwerp’s Museum of Fine Arts. Drawing inspiration from the LGBTQ+ community’s universal symbol, we had an actual ‘live’ rainbow appear above the museum’s iconic water basin. All through Pride week, it would appear every night at sunset and could be enjoyed until the hours. To create this magical experience, we installed a laser at the museum and pointed it at the water spray. 

Results

With over 140,000 visitors, Antwerp’s 2023 Pride edition was its busiest yet. Our rainbow was photographed and shared on social media by a large number of visitors. On top of this, it became a real hotspot during Pride week. Not just as a perfect meeting place, but also as a conversation starter on inclusivity in today’s society.

VLAM Show love Wiloof work overview

Challenge

Belgian witlof may be considered a delicacy all over the world, its consumption is steadily declining in our own country, especially amongst youngsters and families with young children. With its annual ‘Week van het Witloof’, Flanders’ governmental marketing agency for agriculture, horticulture and fishing (VLAM) strives to make people fall in love again with this exceptional local product. But how exactly do you get past its bad rap? Food for thought for The Other Agency.

Making sense

Our campaign ‘Show some Loof’ inspires people to (re)discover Belgian endives and think outside the vegetable box. Enter our endless table of delicious dishes and seven original dishes, from witlof pizza to a spicy pad thai. The campaign ran on several above and below-the-line channels. A catchy radio ad was developed to run all through the yearly Week van het Witloof, while a short activating tv ad ran on VRTnu and VTMgo. Digitally, the seven recipes triggered our target audience  on social media, while in-store posters and recipe booklets inspired shoppers to buy Belgian endives at their local shop, and try their hand at new and delicious dishes. 

Radio spot

Results

‘Show some Loof’ reached almost the entire Flemish population. As a result, sales of Belgian witlof increased exponentially, as reported by the sales numbers of all big supermarkets in Belgium. Not only throughout the Week van het Witloof itself, but also during the weeks after. A significant success, which is why the initial two-year contract was extended to four years.

stad antwerpen vuurwerk 2023 work overview
Client: Stad Antwerpen

A yearly challenge towards zero victims

Every year, the city of Antwerp deals with the consequences of illegal firework activity. Especially youngsters need a reminder that it is not only forbidden, but may actually be dangerous and have a lasting, negative impact on their lives. For the second year in a row, The Other Agency was asked to develop a targeted campaign for the end of year, to support the city of Antwerp in its efforts.

Making sense

Most youngsters have difficulty gauging any negative consequences of their actions. Instead, their imagination tends to focus on the positives only. So how do we convince them to stay away from illegal fireworks? By making the risks as concrete as possible and having our target group experience them, well before any actual damage occurs. Or in other words: having those who are resistant to hearing the truth, actually feel it.

For our 2023 campaign we chose to focus on a common risk: hearing damage. Especially relevant for our target group, who like to live life wearing headphones. Youtube, Netflix, TikTok, Spotify … their daily online fix requires sound to be enjoyed. Imagining a world with hearing damage is abstract, until – BANG – fireworks go wrong, and tinnitus – a constant, persistent high-pitched noise – becomes your reality. 

To communicate this, we had local content creators imagine what life would be like if you’re affected by tinnitus. Through short videos on their social media channels they raise awareness about the challenges this would pose and about the lasting impact of lighting your own fireworks. This peer-to-peer contact helps keep the message authentic and prevents potential eye-rolling at governmental communication.

Next to this, we developed a copy campaign with the line ‘Setting off fireworks blows your ears to sh**’. A clear and concise message, which was conveyed through out-of-home billboards and at info points near fireworks hotspots.

This first campaign wave turned out to be so successful that the city of Antwerp requested a commercial that would run at all Antwerp cinemas during the Christmas holidays. Here too, we chose to make our message as palpable as possible, by starting the spot with an extended tinnitus beep.

Results

Compared to its media spend, our campaign saw unparalleled results. Over 200,000 citizens were reached, with 25,000 comments, likes and shares. An above-average engagement rate of 15%. The influencer campaign received positive reactions from the audience and our out-of-home assets and cinema commercial comfortably reached their goals of informing and raising awareness. Not only did they score high on likeability, 3 out of 4 people stated that the campaign made them more aware of the risks of illegal fireworks and of Antwerp’s efforts to prevent  them from happening.

stad antwerpen bebossing 2023 work overview
Client: Stad Antwerpen

Challenge

Over the past few years, Antwerp has invested in planting more trees and shrubs across the city and its suburban districts. A big step forward towards guaranteeing a greener future – and a better environment – for all. However, as it takes time for all plants to mature, people will not be able to reap the rewards for quite a while. So why plant at all? And how can we remind people that the city invests in their well-being through a greener future?

Making sense

Good things take time: it not only goes for people, but for trees as well. As they both grow and mature at a similar speed, it is only the next generation that will fully be able to enjoy what is being planted today. It is today’s efforts that will guarantee them a slice of greenery tomorrow. A peaceful haven to enjoy, amidst a concrete jungle. In other words: today’s efforts are about taking care of a future generation.

For our campaign we drew inspiration from this parallel path of people and plants. A video that incorporates both – at different stages of maturity – illustrates how they not only grow, but also go together. Because whatever is done today is handed over to tomorrow’s generation. Tomorrow’s seeds are sown today: a thought which was conveyed in the slogan ‘In Antwerpen ontkiemt de toekomst.’ This video campaign ran across all of the city’s social platforms.

Challenge

Processed food includes lots of hidden ingredients and most Belgians are unaware of it. Both sugar and fats are often linked to what we perceive as unhealthy food, but are forgotten when drinking seemingly healthy food and drinks, like canned orange juices, containing lots of sugars. Diabetes Liga therefore organized a campaign to sensibilize.

Making sense

For one week, we would activate all Belgians to be aware of what they eat exactly. In our ‘Week Ge-zonder” we not only invited all Belgians to go a week without hidden sugars and fats, but also to go for a week healthier.

Showing the hidden in this campaign was done by choosing the pixelated creative route. Showing everyday products in a pixelated way and highlighting unhealthy ingredients in it.

Challenge

When The Belgian Ministry of Defense was looking to fill their many job openings, The Other Agency was recruited to lend a helping hand. With our campaign we set out to convince job seekers that Defense is open to everyone and anyone, not just those who are looking to live like Tom Cruise.

Making sense

When looking for a job, Belgium’s young workforce prioritise a healthy work-life balance and an open organisational culture, two advantages the Belgian army prides itself on. Yet, far too often, youngsters assume a job in the army is about authority, physical fitness and foreign missions only. To counter this perception, we zoomed in on different kinds of jobs at Belgian Defense. The goal? Having them realise their talents might actually be just what our country needs. Authentic testimonials and camera techniques from the gaming world were used to draw in the target audience and have them relate.

Within the programmatic approach, the campaign went live on all digital channels. From Twitch and YouTube, to social media and banner ads, it was impossible to miss our campaign. Those who displayed active and targeted search behaviour, were reached through Google SEA. On top of the paid media campaign, we developed a documentary video series with 10 episodes, each based on the 30-second commercials.

Results

Curiosity piqued? Mission accomplished! After the first advertising wave, the campaign resulted in close to 16 million impressions across all channels, +60,000 clicks for specific job vacancies and +5.000 applicants. The YouTube and Twitch videos reached over 3 million views.

boom weekend Logo KV_Grond
Client: Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos

Challenge

From 17 to 19 November 2023, the ANB – Agentschap Natuur en Bos – organised a tree-planting weekend, together with Bosalliantie and Flemish youth movements. The goal? To inspire youngsters to take an active role in fighting climate change, by planting as many trees as possible, across different locations in Flanders. 

But how do you get Gen Z excited, when they often feel powerless in the climate battle? They may recycle, reuse or go vegan, but they still believe these individual efforts won’t have any real impact. As a result, they look to governments and big corporations to make a change.

Making sense

Even though many youngsters feel powerless in fighting climate change, their impact could equal that of Belgium’s biggest corporations, who plant up to 5000 trees each. With over 1.8 million Flemish kids, only 0.3% would have to join forces to reach the same result. An insight that inspired our creative concept, and the name for the event.

BOOMWEEKEND plays on the different interpretations of the word BOOM. It is not only the Dutch word for ‘tree’, but also refers to a ‘significant increase’ and ‘an impressive result’. Three associations that summarise the essence of the planned event. In other words: if youngsters want to make a real impact, they can help increase the number of trees in Flanders, by planting their own. 

To draw in our target audience and instil a sense of FOMO, our design language mimicked that of summer festivals. Teasers by email and owned channels, were followed by a PR moment and online advertisements on YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram and in games. Next to this, we developed a set of custom emojis – the treemojis – which youngsters could share on their favourite social media. To add to that sense of community, we set up partnerships with sports clubs, youth organisations, ambassadors and influencers, who were all invited to the weekend.

Results

Our campaign created a BOOM of its own. We reached a variety of audiences – from local authorities and event partners, to youth organisations and individual teenagers. All plant locations across Flanders were fully booked, while the event made the regional and national news in print and radio. The campaign had a reach of 36.1 million, across more than 100 publications and for an earned media value of €610.000. The influencer partners amassed another 416.000 in reach for an earned media value of almost €15.000 across Instagram and TikTok.

Everything filmed and captured was done by the OPPO Find X5 Pro, making it authentic and believable.

saforelle mock up
Client: Saforelle

Challenge

Intimate hygiene a taboo? Saforelle believes it shouldn’t be. No matter how private your parts may be, keeping them clean is just as normal – and natural – as brushing your teeth or washing your hair. And at The Other Agency we couldn’t agree more. That is why we developed a no-nonsense, bare-bones campaign to promote the n°1 intimate wash recommended by gynaecologists.

Making sense

When it comes to the puss, let’s stop making a fuss. Instead let’s lift the taboo on intimate care and talk openly, instead of using cringy euphemisms. With our campaign ‘Take care of Elle’ we did just that, communicating that a vagina is an essential part of a woman’s body, just like any other. And that Saforelle wash solution is a natural part of your daily routine. To support the line, our visual was just as no-nonsense. We consciously avoided images of women in bright white knickers, frolicking through flowering fields. Instead, we showed reality ‘as is’ with a person in the shower, washing her vagina. No more, no less and no euphemisms in sight. Next to this, we used the campaign for educational purposes, teaching women a simple, three-step routine to keep themselves fresh and healthy. 

Our multi-layered message kicked off with a full-page ad in the newspaper, followed by half-page reminder ads, a week and two weeks in. In addition, we developed a video that illustrated both product and wash routine. It ran digitally across social media platforms and was also used for a tv commercial so we could bring Saforelle to the audience’s living rooms. As it was instrumental to actually also have them try both product and routine, we distributed samples at the Flair fair. An additional influencer campaign strengthened the brand awareness through real-life testimonials.

Results

The whole campaign ran for 3 years, with regular reminders on all different media channels. And the results showed that being transparent and open paid off: while their main competitors’ sales dropped by 8% on average, Saforelle sales saw a 6% increase.

COVID-19, corona, lockdown: we were all tired of it. What we all wished for: freedom. And cosy nights in bars, obviously. In May 2020, when the first lockdown was beginning to end we came up with this storytelling campaign.

To celebrate the reopening of all bars and restaurants after the covid lock down, we changed Duvel’s slogan ‘Brewed to be Lived’, to ‘Brewed to be back’. 

Making sense

In a captivating movie we tell the story of all the phases these bar owners had to go through: from closing their businesses, to spending their free time wisely by upgrading their bars to finally prepare for their opening again. Our campaign video was the best performing social video to date for the Duvel brand.
